Quo Fuit places 3 dated presences for Peter Higgs across 3 places, from 1946 to 2008.
Each one keeps the sentence it was taken from and a link to its source.
Peter Ware Higgs (29 May 1929 – 8 April 2024) was a British theoretical physicist, professor at the University of Edinburgh, and Nobel laureate in Physics for his work on the mass of subatomic particles.Wikipedia, full article · CC BY-SA
Every dot is a place Peter Higgs is documented in, on a dated record. The interactive globe carries the full detail.

Open Quo Fuit to see these 3 presences on the
globe, filter them by date, and follow the journey year by year.
In each of these, a source puts Peter Higgs and the place in the same dated sentence without stating
that Peter Higgs was there. They are kept apart from the timeline above for exactly that reason:
a mention is not a presence, and Quo Fuit does not quietly promote one into the other.
1941 to 1946period
Bristolmentioned“He attended Cotham Grammar School in Bristol from 1941 to 1946, where he was inspired by the work of one of the school's alumni, Paul Dirac, a founder of the field of quantum mechanics.”source: Wikipedia: Peter Higgs

Two people documented in the same place in the same year is a correlation, not a meeting.
Quo Fuit will never say they met without a source that says so.
How to read this page
Every line above is a dated fact taken from a source, with the sentence it came from and a link
back to it. Nothing is inferred, and a gap in the record is not evidence that someone was elsewhere.
A tag says how the fact is carried by its source: documented a structured,
explicitly dated record, attested a sentence that states the person was there,
mentioned a sentence that ties the person to the place without stating presence.

See Peter Higgs on a 3D globe, filter the record by date, and cross this life with another to find
where the two overlap.
