Great physicists are like great prophets. Professor Higgs and his colleagues are among them. They detect "the unrevealed", those whispers requiring great effort to comprehend . The WLCG (Worldwide Large Hadron Collider Computing Grid) delivered the proof of their thought experiments, while they are still alive.
