Reflections on the past lives of prominent individuals can be quite fun.
In accepting the assertion that souls can develop their talents in any area over several lifetimes, ask yourself: what if someone who is highly accomplished today may have been known in a certain past life before in a similar field of activity?
Then you can see the similarity of the face, as well as other common characteristics.
Take a look at Professor Peter Higgs. Now the retired professor is 88 years old, he is a Nobel Prize laureate in physics for 2013. Higgs predicted the existence of an elementary particle, a "missing link", or, as Leon Lederman, also a Nobel laureate, called it, "a particle of God." The Higgs quantum was subsequently discovered exactly as he had predicted and was named the Higgs boson. Now consider his predecessor, another prominent theoretical physicist from England, Sir Isaac Newton (1643-1727).
In the photo, this is Isaac Newton on the left and Peter Higgs on the right.
Isaac Newton (1643-1727) is considered one of the greatest and most influential scientists who ever lived. Among other things, he discovered gravity and formulated three laws of motion.
Much of what schoolchildren are taught today in physics lessons comes directly from Newton. He had a slightly eccentric personality. As we would say today, he was not a public figure, never married, and apparently died a virgin. It has also been suggested that he may have had Asperger Syndrome *, although it appears that he was simply suffering from mercury poisoning due to his experiments in alchemy.
He did not adhere to traditional religious views and tried very hard not to be ordained to the office of a priest (a university requirement for all members of the scientific community at that time).

He was a member of parliament for some time, and, apparently, not very effective: there is an anecdote that he took the floor to speak in parliament only once, and his only speech in the House of Commons was a request to open the windows due to stuffiness.
Newton then moved to London to lead the Royal Mint, in a prestigious job of overseeing the standardization of the British currency.
After his death in 1727, his body was buried at Westminster Abbey, where many prominent personalities such as Shakespeare and Churchill are buried.
Newton has gravity, Higgs has mass
It is a well-known story that Newton discovered the law of gravity by watching an apple fall from a tree. He suggested that gravity is the universal force of attraction between all objects with mass. But what is mass?
In the 1960s, Peter Higgs first proposed his theory of what caused the mass, which was confirmed by a particle discovered at the CERN Research Center (CERN - European Organization for Nuclear Research, the world's largest high-energy physics laboratory) in Europe in 2012.
Similar to Newton's apple, Higgs came up with his idea while walking in the mountains. Higgs watched the skier move down the slope at great speed, sliding over the surface of the snow.
But a person can also move along the slope on snowshoes, interacting with the slope, and his movement will be much slower, or walk, falling into the snow, very slowly or stopping.
In essence, this is the Higgs theory that the entire universe is permeated with an invisible field of energy, which is now called the Higgs field. The Higgs boson, by the way, is a kind of visible “shot” of this invisible field.
There are some particles, such as photons of light, that can shoot straight through space without being influenced by the Higgs field (although they are also affected by gravity). These particles have no mass.
But there are other particles, like protons, that slow down as they move through the Higgs field, as if they were making their way through molasses.
This slow motion is exactly what we measure as mass. (Mass, by technical definition, is resistance to acceleration). Now that Higgs seems to have confirmed this theory with his research, in a sense, we could say that Newtonian physics has come full circle.
Gravity is the field of attraction between objects with mass, and mass is the "slowing down" of particles interacting with the field.
There are 200 years of difference between the lives of Newton and Higgs. Maybe it is worth taking a closer look at the list of 19th century physicists in order to find at least one more embodiment of this soul?
