Peter Higgs has used its presence in Oviedo, where on Friday will receive the Prince of Asturias Award for Research, to break launches a passionate defense of Spanish science . After his unusual ‘frightened’ during the week was awarded the Nobel Prize, Higgs seems to have come out of hiding and finally appeared before the Spanish media with a radiant smile.
ELMUNDO.es Asked about what he would say to the president of the Spanish Government if you were in front to convince on any cuts in R & D, the physicist has responded forcefully: “In the past, science in Spain was not supported enough, and the result was that 30 years ago the country was lagging behind the rest of Europe. Yet in the last three decades the situation of Spanish science has greatly improved, so it would be very unfortunate that now again delayed again “.

“Crop science is cut back on the ability to overcome economic problems that Spain has suffered”
this fully coincided Belgian physicist François Englert, who shares both the Nobel and the Prince of Asturias Higgs: “In this room we are surrounded by cameras, smart phones and many other wonderful technological advances. none of this would be possible without basic science research. But also, I would say something with political intent: science is a barrier to intolerance and dangerous attitudes that have caused disasters in the past in Europe , including of course Spain “.
And to finish this post, the third awarded the Prince of Asturias, Rolf Heuer, director of the European Laboratory for Particle Physics (CERN), which confirmed the existence of the Higgs boson wanted to send the warning to Spanish government: “Do not think only in the short term, it is essential to look long term.’s crucial not to cut back on basic research, precisely so that a country is able to meet the current and future crises. ” Crop science is cut back on the ability to overcome economic problems that Spain has suffered “.
As modest as always, Peter Higgs has confessed that although he is “very happy” to receive all these awards nearly half a century after the existence of the Higgs postulated that bears his name, acknowledged that he would have liked to share the Nobel not Englert only, but with the other four scientists who contributed to the same theory: the Belgian Robert Brout (now deceased), Americans Gerald Guralnik and Carl Hagen, and Tom Kibble British. “I am sorry that the Nobel did not include at least some other of my colleagues.”
As for the prizeSpanish, sage Higgs, 84, said that the Prince of Asturias Award has been “a pleasant surprise” but that between this award and the Swedish Academy, the immediate future I got a little worried: “I hope stressful few weeks”.
