So in this case, the only way to travel at the speed of light is to make sure the higgs boson does not interact with your atoms, hence making you massless? EDIT 28/06/2021: I've discovered a long time ago that practically all of our mass (as humans and every real life object) has something to do with interaction involving quarks in an atom and the concentration of energy invovled. It's not from the higgs boson. the higgs boson only provides mass to *fundamental particles*
That's a good insight. Without interacting with Higgs field it may be possible to achieve light speed like photons traveling at such speed . But quarks (protons and neutrons) and leptons (electrons) from these everything is made of, have mass. 🤔 It's tricky. But good thing to brainstorm
@@DUDEVSTECH Exactly. We all interact with the Higgs Field as we have mass. We would be massless otherwise, like the tax-collector. We would cease to exist. And as Einstein's equation stated; we can simply not exceed or match the speed of light.
@@javieraristizabalherrera4674 Well, there are two things here. One is that the mass of matter has not much to do with its solidity. Air is just a gas, a very low density fluid. You can move through low viscosity liquids and gases because they are individual molecules which simply go around you as you move through the bulk substance. Solids have their atoms or molecules all strongly connected, so they won't flow around you like air. This is not due to mass, but to electromagnetism. Supposing you "turn off" electromagnetism so as to pass though your building. What would happen is that anything affected by this zone of turned-off EM field would instantly disintegrate into a swarm of electrons and atomic nuclei. Now, being massless would seemingly help you accelerate to near lightspeed, but but your method of propulsion would have to be external to you and your vehicle, and it would need to have a range long enough to keep accelerating you. (Maybe intense laser light beamed from somewhere near Earth.) If you don't care about long distance travel, you could just climb into a particle accelerator with a massless and electrically charged capsule. Every method of "portable" propulsion depends on Newton's Third Law of Motion, and being massless throws a rather large damper on that. (Unless you can kick "bombs" outside the volume of your negated Higgs field and rely on catching the pressure wave they generate when exploding.)
Just to confirm my concept of Higgs Boson is correct. Particles that have mass is because of its interaction with the Higgs field. The more the interaction the more the mass it has. The Higgs Boson is actually the excitation of the Higgs field. Based on the analogy in the video above, the excitation of the field can be said as a rumour passed into the crowd. This causes the rumour to be passed down through the crowd and created a small clump of people forming in the crowd moving from one end to the other end of the crowd as shown in the video. The Higgs Boson can be represented by the small clump of people. Could anyone help me verify if my understanding is correct? Thanks and much appreciated!! :) :)
It is an awesome and simple explanation of such a complicated theory. But will you please also mention the name of Satyendra Nath Bose. The name BOSON is after to him. As an Indian citizen I will be so honored and thankful to you if you do so. Thank you :-)
Photons moving at the speed o light, still interact. Turning left or right. Dropping fields or gaining ? That means it is massless but still have mass. Higgs field will register a left to right rotation. That means mass. Then no mass again until photon hits something part of the higgs field again. This video makes no sense
Curve. Curve. Curve as in their relative positions and current constraints in our universe? Curve as in their higher probability of interacting with other objects? I guess multiple curves interacting with each other creates more relative positions, thus creating more dimensions (more directions to allow for more interactions.) No clue, just BSing and brain storming at what you mean.
If that video is right and our current understanding of that is correct theoretically if some one found a way to nullify the Higgs field so That it didn't interact with regular matter the same way it ignores particles like light then you could make matter with no mass and if massless matter is possible then time travel is possible. Because time travel is only possible with infinity energy or having no mass. Could be wrong tho some one check
the higgs has been found to have 4 more elements underneath it. they made some experiment where the numbers needed to hit 450nm or something to verify, but it landed @ 112nm, verifying we can go even deeper
Status A Higgs boson of mass ≈125 GeV has been tentatively confirmed by CERN on 14 March 2013,[1][2][3] although it is unclear as yet which model the particle best supports or whether multiple Higgs bosons exist.[2] (See: Current status) It's 125 GeV now. i cant find the nm levels, but it's about how big it is by mass
Oh, this is good. I was always confused as to how the field could give mass to a particle if the field itself had no mass, and how the Highs boson, which does have mass, could be what I thought was a particle in the field, since the field had no mass. Great analogy. You earned that champagne.
So if particles are stationary in absolute zero, they would also have zero mass? I know it is impossible to have stationary particles according to the uncertainty principle but I would like to clarify my concept thanks
Yes, if a particle were stationary it theoretically would be massless. However, as you stated, this is also theoretically impossible so there are some issues and bits that don't make sense to think about.
+Leo Chang According to Einstein's General Theory of Relativity nothing is at absolute rest or absolute motion. An object is at rest relative to you the observer but not at rest relative to the universe. Know that the earth is MOVING around the sun, the earth and the sun are moving around the milky way, and the whole universe is expanding continuously due to dark energy. So even though you are stationary you're still moving around the sun and milky way.
+Leo Chang A particle still has rest mass, even at absolute zero, so it would still have mass. Absolute zero is also impossible. And, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to say a "particle" has temperature. Temperature is a function of more than one particles bound together, either by electromagnetic bonds or by gravity. . . . But that's not really relevant to your question. A single particle at absolute zero would still have mass.
This video show how a particle gets mass and when/how a Higgsboson is created, but can anyone explain me, what the connection is between the particle getting mass and the creation of the Higgsboson? Now there isn't any relation given by them.
To my understanding, the Higgs boson is a ripple in the Higgs field, and the way we found to measure it is by smashing subatomic particles together in the large hadron collider. If the collision is strong enough, the energy resulting from it will create a ripple in the Higgs field, and that is the Higgs boson. If you want a connection between mass and the boson, we can use E=m.c² here, so the more energy is generated, more mass results from it, and since mass is the interaction with the higgs field, enough energy will create the ripple in the field.
FranktheDachshund Yes and no. It's hard to explain because it has to do with quantum field theory, partially because I don't know how much you know about this subject, and partially because I myself know just the basics. But I'll give it a go: Quantum field theory says that there are invisible "fields" os virtual particles that snap in and out of existence, and these fields are present everywhere in the universe. These virtual particles need to die very quickly so they don't break the law of conservation of energy, but you can actually bring those particles to existence by putting energy in the field. Usually these fields are represented as a straight line, and a ripple in the line is a point of energy, and represents an actual particle in our world. Each field has it's corresponding particle, like that electromagnetic field has the photon, which it's particle is also represented as a ripple in the EM field. Now, the virtual particles of these fields act as mediators for any interaction, so when a subatomic particle is interacting with the Higgs field, it's interacting with virtual higgs particles. But the Higgs boson the we created is an actual particle, brought into existence by exciting the Higgs field. I don't know if it stops interacting like it used to, but it's not the same as the virtual particles that compose the Higgs field. Now, it was very important to create the Higgs boson because we couldn't prove the Higgs field actually existed without being able to produce it's respective particle. And speaking of the higgs field, I used to think it gave all mass in our world, but it's actually just responsible for the mass of subatomic particles, which only make up for a little percentage of atom's mass. Most of the mass of the atoms is actually resultant from the energy responsible for keeping their subatomic particles together, again folowing the equation E=m.c². And a little disclaimer, I'm not a physics professor, just someone who is interested in this stuff, and my knowledge of quantum field theory is just basic, so if you want more information on that I suggest you search for someone more knowledgeable.
The Higgs boson's significance is that it proved the existence of the Higgs field first, and now we are using that knowledge to study the Higgs mechanism for coupling to other fields (particles). Electrons get their mass from the Higgs field. In a new discovery, the top quark also has a Higgs interaction.
@@Hyzalker wow that's a great explanation. Your insights gave me a new understanding about mass of atoms as its just the energy needed to keep them together (ups and downs of quarks) by using m=e/c2. I feel like a cloud of doubt vanished haha thanks for clear explanation it was really really helpful
So, in other words, this is the same effect you experience with magnets. If you take a magnet and slide a rock past it, you don't feel anything. However, if you slide a magnet past another magnet, you feel something. Its not that the magnet exists and the rock doesn't, its just that the rock doesn't care about the magnet and doesn't react to it.
But Ed doesn't explain WHY that interaction increases the mass of the particle. It is simply because the speed of that particle is slowed down. Since e=m c2, if c is diminished, m necessarily increases. That is what Ed failed to explain..
I'm no expert, but I don't think it "increases" the mass of the particle so much as it gives mass to the particle. Without the Higgs field, all particles would be without mass and move at the speed of light. With the Higgs field, some particles gain rest mass and slow down, others don't (all particles have energy mass). I'm not entirely sure E=MC^2 is the best way to think about it because Quantum Mechanics can do strange things, like travel backwards in time, or, apparently pull extra energy out of thin air and then return it a billionth of a second later. Also, because the Higgs field is everywhere, the mass is always there, from a practical point of view. The Higgs field doesn't come and go, only the Boson. Now, in a quantum sense, the mass might come and go with interactions with the Higgs Boson - I don't really know, but it would average out over time to be consistent. - if that makes any sense. So, re-reading what you wrote, on the quantum level, it's possible that a particle's mass is converted from energy to rest mass by interaction with the Higgs Boson/Higgs field, but the net energy doesn't change only the form of the energy changes. If that makes no sense, let me know. I'm kinda trying to understand it myself.
YTEdy Since I'm not an expert eather I thought, every now and then, several days to understand the explanation given in the video. Look at it again, please The only reason why the tax collector could get his pint without any delay was that nobody diminished his speed, since noone cared about him. On the contrary, Higgs was continuously stopped by the scientists, but none of them gave him anything (a book, for instance) that would increase his mass. My obvious conclusion was that the key was the speed. . No bossom ''gives'' any mass to the particles that interact with them. The only explanation I could figure out why some particles acquire mass by traveling throug the Higgs Field (which, I agree, is everywhere) is that 'e' turns into 'm'. I didn't quite undestand your expression ''the net energy doesn't change only the form of the energy changes''. As far as I know, mass is a form of energy. A 'state' of it. (English, as you may have noticed, is not my language. My expressions in foreign laguages are always the translation of my thoughts built up in Spanish and the results are frequently notoriously rough. Please be patient. It's a challenge that I face with pride and humor. I never use a computer translator, since I like to be understood. Lol). Many thanks for your answer.
Well, if the Higgs field gave "things" to particles, there mass would increase and we know that's not the case. A proton can fly through space but a proton can't travel at the speed of light because it has mass or "rest mass" if you prefer. A photon, with no rest mass, flies through empty space at the speed of light. I think it's more correct to say that the Higgs field interacts with particles that have rest mass and it doesn't interact with particles that don't. So, my saying it "gives mass" might have been confusing. the Higgs field interacts with mass. I think I said it badly.
I ammend my prior thoughts: The Higgs field does not "give" anything to the particles which interact with its bossoms. It merely decreases their speed. Since e = m. c2, hence c2 = e. / .m If 'c' decreases, 'm' must necessarily increase. That is why, in my opinion, some particles 'acquire' mass when entering into the Higgs field. That's what Ed did not explain . And I 'm glad he didn't because he forced me to find out the answer by myself. It's always healthy to challenge one's old brains. You contributed to that exercise. Many thanks! Please let me know your opinion.
*so, it sounds like **_"PRE-HIGGS"_** exposed particles have some sort of **_"signature"_** output that determines how the field **_"treats"_** them. the predetermined particles that **_remain "mass-less",_** put out a signature that gets the particle **_denied_** mass from the field. the particles that **_receive mass_** tells the field how much **_"SPECIFIC"_** mass they'll need when they exit.*
Not exactly. Higgs field gives mass only to electrons and quarks. Much more mass comes from strong force in protons and neutrons which is kinetic energy carried by gluons.
yes, and also the higgs field is everywhere, so that wouldn’t make sense. the analogy in the video of “being outside the room” is really theoretical, because thats how we would expect particles to behave without the higgs field but its not really doable to test that
As per the analogy, the field (drunk physicists) treats one particle (Peter Higgs) differently than the other (Tax collector). Why does the field do so? On what grounds does the field discriminate between particles? Does this mean that the field chooses how much mass a particle should exhibit?
+Pravin Sonawane its not about the field choosing, as the mass is based on the interaction. the mass of the particle is dependent on how long (time) the particle interacts with the higgs field.
They'll never find what they're looking for, due to the simple fact it's magnetic, and what are they doing with the superconductors, flooding it with magnetism, the Bose field is just a magnetic field that you don't comprehend yet, think of light, and sound, and nuclear, as all a form of radiation, just like a magnetic field, could be looked at, like a form of radiation, what is radiating something?
We've found out that we can cloak things from interaction with light (photons) and kinetic forces (phonons) by bending the waves around things. It does make me wonder if we could do something similar with the Higgs field. Although I'm aware that at the atomic level that could be.. Somewhat problematic.
If we can control the higgs field mean we can control everything right ? There will be no old age, no sick, no nothing. Because higgs field create a mass and nothing could happen without a mass
@@TalynStormcrow so higgs field is basically a time ? Because light don't have mass so it not binding to law of time. I study an ancient book, there is other creature other than human that have society like human but able to travel as fast as wind, possessed human body. Walk pass through anything, and that creature is created by lights and fire. Fire don't have mass too right ?
Now take all those particle researchers in the room, and replace them with EVANGELISTS. Hmmm, now I get why they called it the "God Particle! " I think! :)
Not a physicist here so I might be super confused. Einstein said E = mc^2. Mass can be converted to energy and vice versa. Does that mean the Higgs Field is somehow providing energy to the massless particles to create mass?
Okay, got it… but like why doesn’t say the Photon interact with the field but the Higgs Boson does? What’s causes the difference when they begin interacting with the field if they both are initially massless?
I asked this question 100 times and finally settled: Like so-called (Higgs) field - Whom to give weight or to whom not. That makes Higgs field sucks (;-
this doesn't explain things because in the example of tax collector and peter higgs, they both have different properties. so, what is the property difference between a photon and an electron that allows one to interact and blocks the other from doing so.
No, you are wrong - it was explained properly for the purpose of the Higgs Field. It is supposed to be a simple explanation not a detailed one which is what you would want. The dude won 1st place for coming up with it. It's a fantastic explanation. What you are saying would be another video. Give the guy a break. One bite at a time, man.
another example would be to put a celebrity walking among the crowd. if the celebrity is extremely famous it'll walk slow among them, if less famous it'll walk faster. because less people will try to stop him./her
It's an explanation of the theory, not a historical perspective on those involved. Get over the ego parts....if you want to here Bose's name and history along with those with him...plenty of places to go...
From what I gathered, the age-old idea that particles are represented as little marbles is terribly misleading when you dig into it. A boson is actually a wave or a ripple, right ? And, why does the Higgs boson also have mass ? Self-interaction ? or is "mass" simply somehow the amount of compression the boson generates while traveling through the field ?
I'll be honest, science goes way above my head, however I find it utterly fascinating. Just a couple of questions if anyone can help. My concept of a 'field' in science is that of a 'vertical' barrier' so they pass through thisfield to gain mass, which I will happily concede is a dimensionally incorrect description of it. So if there is no beginning or end to the Higgs Field and I assume it surrounds everything much like gravity, then could the Universe could be viewed as the Higgs Field? Apologies if it's a ridiculous notion or question, however I do praise myself as I moved away many years ago from the 'god did it' explanation.
It's not ridiculous one it's a very good question See from micro(bacteria) to macro (Galaxies) everything made of protons electrons and neutrons.( Billions of galaxies to your single strand of hair) And those protons, electrons (quarks and leptons) are existed only because there's interaction with Higgs field. Hence it's fair to say it has no beginning and end and exists everywhere. Hope it helps
It's actually a shame that the scientific community completely neglect the person who first came up with the idea of such particle. At first it was implemented by Satyendra Nath Bose.
Some scientist say that the stuff that makes up the stuff in the universe, is mostly of space, or mass less and its the energy that holds it and structure of it together. It is of quantum physics and how it moves and keeps it self in place, the pattern is what makes it what it is overall in the larger scale. from tiniest to the largest things in the universe they all follow similar laws and of quantum physics too, the forces that keep something going and staying together in form, in which is essentially varying energies, or movements at work, it is most neat and fantastic part, in which makes up everything. Also if higgs field is real and how things gain mass, or loose mass, on how they interact with the higgs field and how they say the higgs field is what makes up matter is also neat, this could explain things in quantum physic's and how things gain negative and positive dynamic's.
I do not mean to be more of a nerd than the video itself, or to dethrone the winner of the analogy, but I think they're complicating a simple thing. Reading the comments create more doubts than solutions. Allow me to apply Occam's Razor gently here: The Higgs Boson Field (yes, Boson with capital B, it's not just any damn boson) is just a place in the Universe, in this case, in this planet (or wherever intelligent entities inhabit and interact with matter) in which there is a field, electromagnetic, gravitational or Zero Point field, that allows atoms and/or particles to bond each other. You may call this the Matrix (Divine Matrix as stated by Gregg Braden, Zero Point Field, God, Holy Spirit, or your favorite term) in which there is the possibility and capability for molecules to bind each other and create matter. Whether there's a new particle with 125 and 127 GeV/c2 mass will not explain or solve the existence of this field. There's the Absolut, then there's the LOGOS... In order for matter to exist there's this force that allows molecules to create everything our eyes capture thanks to the Sun and slower vibrations that appear to create real things we can 'touch' and 'feel'. Massless particles that have mass are exactly particles that have mass, just like a single man that should be single is married and has a wife and kids. If there were no Higgs Boson Field, the Universe would be impossible to inhabit in terms of matter, because every particle would be dispersed towards gravitational, electromagnetical or other known/unknown fields that would make it impossible to create elements, solids, gases, liquids, plasmas, etc. Without the Higgs Boson Field, which is what Catholics call the Holy Spirit, there wouldn't be planets, stars, humans, trees, plants, computers, cars, dollar bills, or anything that is matter. The Higgs Boson Field allows us to live in matter and enjoy matter, is the manifestation of the Absolut, the Universal Consciousness, and it's crystallizing every thought... Use matter, expand your consciousness and you will escape the cycle of needing matter to succeed in eternity...
What if after the big bang more and more higgs field formed? Would that mean that time and space gruadually lost "capability" (speed going from 14485893 seconds per second to 4747 seconds per second to 384 to 19 to 1)? If yes, then I suggest it could mean that the timespan from now to the big bang could be shorter than we generally think.
Exactly which God do you attribute this Higg's field and boson to, careful now God is a proper name handed down through generations as well as a title for many deities. Which shipmate contributed the boson? That is not a joke. This field is said to be all encompassing. There are other sentient all encompassing fields you know, and I see great interference and troubles with our ultimate source and our repository of pan- Uni
02:12 "...all particles are equal until they enter the room." 1. Is "particles are equal" equivalent to "particles have zero mass"? 2. Where are the particles until they enter the room (could the particles be somewhere other than the room at all)?
So the particle nature (whether it is going to be a quark or another particle ) is determined after its interaction with the field or does the particle just gain its mass after the interaction?
Maybe the opposite is true. Maybe the photon interacts more and thus moves more randomly. Whereas a massive particle doesn't interact and thus never changes direction and moves straight to the bar. Mass doesn't = drag. Massive particles slow down less than less massive particles. Less massive particles interact more while massive particles ignore you and keep moving through the crowd.
+Lucas z They're probably not all the same, but they may all come from the same stuff. Different states and combinations of the same building blocks . . . (er, I think). But nobody is sure quite how small this particular set of Russian dolls goes.
It would be helpful to watch their other video on the same topic: ruclips.net/video/IElHgJG5Fe4/видео.html I was able to grasp the concept better after watching the two videos.
So the discovery of the Higgs boson, a bump in a statistical curve, was only needed to confirm we had a mass-giving field? Is that enough of a result to build the LHC and pay these pretty expensive guys and gals working there each month?
Brilliant explanation - Directly correlates with being human - Being a strong capable person who lives in the wild is great but Austin Powers... Now that's a book to take pages from lol real talk. Also reminds me of the lymphatic node for some reason?
Chicken or the egg. Is mass first, or is the Higgs field first? Which one affects which? Let's take this example: One object has like 6 quarks (a Hydrogen atom). Another object has 12 quarks (a Helium atom). The Helium atom, in the presence of the Higgs field, will have more mass because it has more quarks, the elementary particles that (make up protons and neutrons) interact with the Higgs field. It's all about the total number of protons/neutrons, and a little of electrons (but electrons are super lightweight and do not contribute much). In this truth, the two atoms do NOT have the same mass. They may both be gases and you may contain them in the same sized balloon, but they are NOT the same mass, size or spacial displacement.
First, it's important to differentiate between mass and rest mass. Since E=MC^2, any particle with energy has mass, but not all particles have rest mass. So to answer your question as rest mass, all particles with the same rest mass would interact with the Higgs field the same amount. Now, take 2 particles with equal energy but different rest mass - say, an Electron and a Photon. A Photon's energy depends on it's wavelength so it's possible for a Photon to have the same mass as an Electron (and remember, the speed of an Electron can add to it's mass as well). But, where they interact with the Higgs field differently is due to rest mass not total mass. In the video, they just call it "mass" but they mean rest mass. An Electron can't travel at the speed of light. A photon can only travel at the speed of light. An Electron interacts with Higgs field to create it's rest mass. A photon passes through the higgs field un-slowed down, like the tax collector in the video.
Great analogy! May I ask, you say that both the tax collector and Peter Higgs are both considered massless until they enter the room, my question is what are they when they are outside of the room? Also, where is 'outside of the room'? Are these questions ones that scientists can answer yet?
The Higgs field sounds alot like "quantum gravity", for lack of a better term, which also just happens to be what theoretical physicists need to unify physics--for GRAVITY to demonstrate a measurable and very predictable affect at the quantum realm. A Grand Unified Theory. Perhaps, understanding the higgs field/Higgs boson further is key to that whole effort.
Explanation that Higgs field give masses to particles I understand.But how ? If Higgs bosons don't have any mass how can they give anything that they don't have? It complicates my mind.
@@ДмитроПрищепа-д3я Ok I now understand that higgs field have very large mass and it gives some part of it to particles likes lepton with interaction. Photons don't interact with Higgs field so they are massless. So how Higgs field gain very huge mass? What is the source?
@@poseidaon35 nope, it doesn't give its mass to particles, it just interacts with them and slows them down. Higgs particles interact with themselves too. That's how they gain their mass.
Well, the mass that the Higgs Field is giving the interacting particles is "inertial mass". How is this turning out to be the same mass that serves as a charge in the Gravitational Field?
The best scientists in the world seem to believe so. It would tie general relativity and quantum mechanics together and both of those have been tested to death and appear to be very very accurate.
It bothers me [intellectually] how scientists are constantly inventing concepts that are contradictory to older definitions - it would be so simple [and practical] to state that there is only one real function in reality, that being 'matter' (insert whatever other blanket term you prefer here) and that 'space' and 'time' are simply concepts with no real value (again, insert whatever other blanket terms you ideologically prefer here because the concept is the same), but scientists are now stating that 'space' and 'time' are matter and that 'matter' is massless when philosophically it is easy to accept that this simply isn't true. The purpose of stating this is that science can not reasonably advance in understanding the universe until it begins to consolidate the terms that it uses and accepts [and initially begins to seek] the fundamental basis for understanding the universe, being logic.
No physicist has said that space and time are matter. Philosophical beliefs are subjective and have nothing to do with science. It bothers me that you and others have such a complete misunderstanding of what science has revealed and yet believe that you understand it. You should be very bothered by the connections that you have identified, you're right, that's all terrible. But the problem is not with scientists - it's with your misunderstanding, creation of connections, and claims that science had nothing to do with.

The Higgs Boson can be represented by the small clump of people. Could anyone help me verify if my understanding is correct? Thanks and much appreciated!! :) :)
As much as I understood,yes you are right :D
So, if a particle (an unknown guy) pass throught the wave caused by the rumor/higgs boson, the particle would get mass for a while?
u have just confirmed that ur stupid AF
Sergio Loza You're saying - if a originally massless particle moves _through_ the Higgs boson, will it get mass?
why photon does not cause exitations in higgs field
We know why the scientists are not interacting with the tax collector. But why are photons not interacting with the Higgs field ?!?
But on what basis do we determine a particle's interact with the higgs field??
Poor tax collector nobody wanted to talk to him 😢
Whoever came up with that analogy deserves that bottle of champagne for making it understandable for the rest of us.
Good point Fred! I found myself asking "but what makes some particles interact strongly while others don't?" Which is the real question ...unanswered.
If we got this answer we could transform ourself to anything
@@doncarlo9345 So it's a mystery?
@@doncarlo9345 but I think I know the answer . It' s simple, must be some code inside.

It is an awesome and simple explanation of such a complicated theory. But will you please also mention the name of Satyendra Nath Bose. The name BOSON is after to him. As an Indian citizen I will be so honored and thankful to you if you do so. Thank you :-)
A western-centric approach of the educationist. They just ignore the contribution from the east.
No, not as an Indian citizen please. As a HUMAN. Science doesn't have nationality.
Alright then, let's pop open that bottle of champagne, and get this party poppin'!! ;)
Photons moving at the speed o light, still interact. Turning left or right. Dropping fields or gaining ? That means it is massless but still have mass. Higgs field will register a left to right rotation. That means mass. Then no mass again until photon hits something part of the higgs field again. This video makes no sense

That's my man Don Lincoln, one of the best at explaining complicated stuff out there
Jimenez was the best.
so what makes a partical have more interaction?
there for is a photon the lightest particle out there?
So no? Lol. Okey so you sound like an intellectual person who knows what he/ she is talking about. Do you know anything about warp drives?
+K. ToTi It is due the coupling constants between the Higgs and the other particle.
Curve. Curve. Curve as in their relative positions and current constraints in our universe? Curve as in their higher probability of interacting with other objects?
I guess multiple curves interacting with each other creates more relative positions, thus creating more dimensions (more directions to allow for more interactions.)
No clue, just BSing and brain storming at what you mean.

So is a higgs boson a particle or a cluster around a particle? Pls ans 😢
It is the raw originator of the plethora of particles that cluster to make matter

Thank you! I'm reading a chapter about this and I desperately needed visuals. Great job 👏
Now THIS is brilliant, I finally understand what the matter with the whole Higgs and field and where the mass comes from
So Higgs Boson is just a rumor?
Sebastian Lukito not really. but higgs boson+field could solve many problems regarding mass-energy duality!

Mehmet Akharman idk what u re talking about. but at least im always trying to be positive. well, let me just shrug off and move on ;)
Sebastian Lukito I get it!
Analogous to the analogy
It makes me so mad every time in most higgs boson videos that they leave out S N Bose's contribution. Boson is named after him.
ahhh can always count on TED to explain these things really well
This explanation gives me more joy than I can convey! Thank you!
If that video is right and our current understanding of that is correct theoretically if some one found a way to nullify the Higgs field so That it didn't interact with regular matter the same way it ignores particles like light then you could make matter with no mass and if massless matter is possible then time travel is possible. Because time travel is only possible with infinity energy or having no mass. Could be wrong tho some one check
sucks that this isn't accurate any longer
+Robeon Mew how so?

Status
A Higgs boson of mass ≈125 GeV has been tentatively confirmed by CERN on 14 March 2013,[1][2][3] although it is unclear as yet which model the particle best supports or whether multiple Higgs bosons exist.[2]
(See: Current status)
It's 125 GeV now. i cant find the nm levels, but it's about how big it is by mass
No idea ATM
Perhaps 'The Grid' which psychonauts report seeing in the sky, is Higgs field and us humans are bosons.
Oh, this is good. I was always confused as to how the field could give mass to a particle if the field itself had no mass, and how the Highs boson, which does have mass, could be what I thought was a particle in the field, since the field had no mass.
Great analogy. You earned that champagne.
yes
So if particles are stationary in absolute zero, they would also have zero mass? I know it is impossible to have stationary particles according to the uncertainty principle but I would like to clarify my concept thanks
Yes, if a particle were stationary it theoretically would be massless. However, as you stated, this is also theoretically impossible so there are some issues and bits that don't make sense to think about.
+Leo Chang According to Einstein's General Theory of Relativity nothing is at absolute rest or absolute motion.
An object is at rest relative to you the observer but not at rest relative to the universe.
Know that the earth is MOVING around the sun, the earth and the sun are moving around the milky way, and the whole universe is expanding continuously due to dark energy. So even though you are stationary you're still moving around the sun and milky way.
+GlennBen But if a particle could somehow be slowed to not moving relative to the field, then perhaps that could be the absolute zero?
+swampthing401 Wouldn't perhaps the energy join the Higgs field? A photon has energy but doesn't have rest mass.
+Leo Chang A particle still has rest mass, even at absolute zero, so it would still have mass. Absolute zero is also impossible. And, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to say a "particle" has temperature. Temperature is a function of more than one particles bound together, either by electromagnetic bonds or by gravity. . . . But that's not really relevant to your question. A single particle at absolute zero would still have mass.
Higgs field has been holding us back apparently
This video show how a particle gets mass and when/how a Higgsboson is created, but can anyone explain me, what the connection is between the particle getting mass and the creation of the Higgsboson? Now there isn't any relation given by them.
To my understanding, the Higgs boson is a ripple in the Higgs field, and the way we found to measure it is by smashing subatomic particles together in the large hadron collider. If the collision is strong enough, the energy resulting from it will create a ripple in the Higgs field, and that is the Higgs boson. If you want a connection between mass and the boson, we can use E=m.c² here, so the more energy is generated, more mass results from it, and since mass is the interaction with the higgs field, enough energy will create the ripple in the field.
Hyzalker Lucas So it is just an indicator of the field?
FranktheDachshund Yes and no. It's hard to explain because it has to do with quantum field theory, partially because I don't know how much you know about this subject, and partially because I myself know just the basics. But I'll give it a go:
Quantum field theory says that there are invisible "fields" os virtual particles that snap in and out of existence, and these fields are present everywhere in the universe. These virtual particles need to die very quickly so they don't break the law of conservation of energy, but you can actually bring those particles to existence by putting energy in the field. Usually these fields are represented as a straight line, and a ripple in the line is a point of energy, and represents an actual particle in our world. Each field has it's corresponding particle, like that electromagnetic field has the photon, which it's particle is also represented as a ripple in the EM field.
Now, the virtual particles of these fields act as mediators for any interaction, so when a subatomic particle is interacting with the Higgs field, it's interacting with virtual higgs particles.
But the Higgs boson the we created is an actual particle, brought into existence by exciting the Higgs field. I don't know if it stops interacting like it used to, but it's not the same as the virtual particles that compose the Higgs field.
Now, it was very important to create the Higgs boson because we couldn't prove the Higgs field actually existed without being able to produce it's respective particle.
And speaking of the higgs field, I used to think it gave all mass in our world, but it's actually just responsible for the mass of subatomic particles, which only make up for a little percentage of atom's mass. Most of the mass of the atoms is actually resultant from the energy responsible for keeping their subatomic particles together, again folowing the equation E=m.c².
And a little disclaimer, I'm not a physics professor, just someone who is interested in this stuff, and my knowledge of quantum field theory is just basic, so if you want more information on that I suggest you search for someone more knowledgeable.
The Higgs boson's significance is that it proved the existence of the Higgs field first, and now we are using that knowledge to study the Higgs mechanism for coupling to other fields (particles).
Electrons get their mass from the Higgs field.
In a new discovery, the top quark also has a Higgs interaction.
@@Hyzalker wow that's a great explanation. Your insights gave me a new understanding about mass of atoms as its just the energy needed to keep them together (ups and downs of quarks) by using m=e/c2. I feel like a cloud of doubt vanished haha thanks for clear explanation it was really really helpful
So, in other words, this is the same effect you experience with magnets. If you take a magnet and slide a rock past it, you don't feel anything. However, if you slide a magnet past another magnet, you feel something.
Its not that the magnet exists and the rock doesn't, its just that the rock doesn't care about the magnet and doesn't react to it.
I saw him at Fermilab!
The tax collector?
@@ADEehrh lol
無駄や。全く無駄や。ヒッグス粒子が見つかったとしても、わしらに必要なエネルギーは得られるんか？得られんのとちゃうんか！ほな全く意味がない。そんなもんに研究費使わんでくれ。金をどぶに捨てるようなもんや。
But Ed doesn't explain WHY that interaction increases the mass of the particle. It is simply because the speed of that particle is slowed down. Since e=m c2, if c is diminished, m necessarily increases. That is what Ed failed to explain..
I'm no expert, but I don't think it "increases" the mass of the particle so much as it gives mass to the particle. Without the Higgs field, all particles would be without mass and move at the speed of light. With the Higgs field, some particles gain rest mass and slow down, others don't (all particles have energy mass). I'm not entirely sure E=MC^2 is the best way to think about it because Quantum Mechanics can do strange things, like travel backwards in time, or, apparently pull extra energy out of thin air and then return it a billionth of a second later.
Also, because the Higgs field is everywhere, the mass is always there, from a practical point of view. The Higgs field doesn't come and go, only the Boson. Now, in a quantum sense, the mass might come and go with interactions with the Higgs Boson - I don't really know, but it would average out over time to be consistent. - if that makes any sense.
So, re-reading what you wrote, on the quantum level, it's possible that a particle's mass is converted from energy to rest mass by interaction with the Higgs Boson/Higgs field, but the net energy doesn't change only the form of the energy changes. If that makes no sense, let me know. I'm kinda trying to understand it myself.
YTEdy Since I'm not an expert eather I thought, every now and then, several days to understand the explanation given in the video. Look at it again, please The only reason why the tax collector could get his pint without any delay was that nobody diminished his speed, since noone cared about him. On the contrary, Higgs was continuously stopped by the scientists, but none of them gave him anything (a book, for instance) that would increase his mass. My obvious conclusion was that the key was the speed. .
No bossom ''gives'' any mass to the particles that interact with them. The only explanation I could figure out why some particles acquire mass by traveling throug the Higgs Field (which, I agree, is everywhere) is that 'e' turns into 'm'.
I didn't quite undestand your expression ''the net energy doesn't change only the form of the energy changes''. As far as I know, mass is a form of energy. A 'state' of it.
(English, as you may have noticed, is not my language. My expressions in foreign laguages are always the translation of my thoughts built up in Spanish and the results are frequently notoriously rough. Please be patient. It's a challenge that I face with pride and humor. I never use a computer translator, since I like to be understood. Lol). Many thanks for your answer.
I ment to write ''EITHER''.
Well, if the Higgs field gave "things" to particles, there mass would increase and we know that's not the case. A proton can fly through space but a proton can't travel at the speed of light because it has mass or "rest mass" if you prefer. A photon, with no rest mass, flies through empty space at the speed of light.
I think it's more correct to say that the Higgs field interacts with particles that have rest mass and it doesn't interact with particles that don't.
So, my saying it "gives mass" might have been confusing. the Higgs field interacts with mass.
I think I said it badly.
I ammend my prior thoughts:
The Higgs field does not "give" anything to the particles which interact with its bossoms. It merely decreases their speed.
Since e = m. c2, hence c2 = e. / .m
If 'c' decreases, 'm' must necessarily increase. That is why, in my opinion, some particles 'acquire' mass when entering into the Higgs field.
That's what Ed did not explain . And I 'm glad he didn't because he forced me to find out the answer by myself. It's always healthy to challenge one's old brains. You contributed to that exercise. Many thanks! Please let me know your opinion.
*so, it sounds like **_"PRE-HIGGS"_** exposed particles have some sort of **_"signature"_** output that determines how the field **_"treats"_** them. the predetermined particles that **_remain "mass-less",_** put out a signature that gets the particle **_denied_** mass from the field. the particles that **_receive mass_** tells the field how much **_"SPECIFIC"_** mass they'll need when they exit.*
So an elephant and an ant have the same mass until they collide with the Higgs field man quantum physics is weird
Not exactly. Higgs field gives mass only to electrons and quarks. Much more mass comes from strong force in protons and neutrons which is kinetic energy carried by gluons.
yes, and also the higgs field is everywhere, so that wouldn’t make sense. the analogy in the video of “being outside the room” is really theoretical, because thats how we would expect particles to behave without the higgs field but its not really doable to test that
As per the analogy, the field (drunk physicists) treats one particle (Peter Higgs) differently than the other (Tax collector). Why does the field do so? On what grounds does the field discriminate between particles?
Does this mean that the field chooses how much mass a particle should exhibit?
+Pravin Sonawane its not about the field choosing, as the mass is based on the interaction. the mass of the particle is dependent on how long (time) the particle interacts with the higgs field.
Sagarika Maitra thanks for your answer. But isn't time relative?
time is relative on a very large scale and these measurements/ theories are based on fractions of second.
you should probably consult a particle physics textbook to understand this better, as i don't know as much about it yet.
+Pravin Sonawane those drunken physicists were sort of racists lol
They'll never find what they're looking for, due to the simple fact it's magnetic, and what are they doing with the superconductors, flooding it with magnetism, the Bose field is just a magnetic field that you don't comprehend yet, think of light, and sound, and nuclear, as all a form of radiation, just like a magnetic field, could be looked at, like a form of radiation, what is radiating something?
We've found out that we can cloak things from interaction with light (photons) and kinetic forces (phonons) by bending the waves around things. It does make me wonder if we could do something similar with the Higgs field. Although I'm aware that at the atomic level that could be.. Somewhat problematic.
If we can control the higgs field mean we can control everything right ? There will be no old age, no sick, no nothing. Because higgs field create a mass and nothing could happen without a mass
@@doncarlo9345 well, that doesn't exactly follow. If you remove the Higgs field nothing works either. Mass is pretty important.
@@TalynStormcrow what if we found a way to disturb higgs Field, or we could create a anti higgs field shield.
@@TalynStormcrow so higgs field is basically a time ? Because light don't have mass so it not binding to law of time. I study an ancient book, there is other creature other than human that have society like human but able to travel as fast as wind, possessed human body. Walk pass through anything, and that creature is created by lights and fire. Fire don't have mass too right ?
Now take all those particle researchers in the room, and replace them with EVANGELISTS. Hmmm, now I get why they called it the "God Particle! " I think! :)
1: This Analogy
2: That one
3: meh
:'D
Not a physicist here so I might be super confused. Einstein said E = mc^2. Mass can be converted to energy and vice versa. Does that mean the Higgs Field is somehow providing energy to the massless particles to create mass?
Peter Higgs, all the bottles for you, rip 🔭🚀🛰️🪐
This explanation was so helpful, been trying to find a good analogy for a while now.
Okay, got it… but like why doesn’t say the Photon interact with the field but the Higgs Boson does? What’s causes the difference when they begin interacting with the field if they both are initially massless?
the particle is name after two big scientists peter higgs and satyendra nath bose,,, so why every time only one scientist name came up?????
There are lot of different kinds of bosons.
Yes, however, all the prejudices are of the same kind.
Katzen4u: Then THIS one is also among them.
I asked this question 100 times and finally settled: Like so-called (Higgs) field - Whom to give weight or to whom not. That makes Higgs field sucks (;-
satyendra nath bose is Indian scientist I think that's why..like Christopher Nolan avoid to mention Indian soldiers in world war in his dunkirk film..
If it was a lawyer, not tax collector, crossing the room, would the particles quickly move away (as opposed to ignoring)?
an absolutely great explanation! let's use this in the classrooms!!!!! great job. thanks for this.
this doesn't explain things because in the example of tax collector and peter higgs, they both have different properties. so, what is the property difference between a photon and an electron that allows one to interact and blocks the other from doing so.
No, you are wrong - it was explained properly for the purpose of the Higgs Field. It is supposed to be a simple explanation not a detailed one which is what you would want. The dude won 1st place for coming up with it. It's a fantastic explanation. What you are saying would be another video. Give the guy a break. One bite at a time, man.
Nice set of analogies, Don.
another example would be to put a celebrity walking among the crowd. if the celebrity is extremely famous it'll walk slow among them, if less famous it'll walk faster. because less people will try to stop him./her
No mention of sn bose? How poorly researched is this clip.
It's an explanation of the theory, not a historical perspective on those involved. Get over the ego parts....if you want to here Bose's name and history along with those with him...plenty of places to go...

@@blahblahshutup6024 exactly
From what I gathered, the age-old idea that particles are represented as little marbles is terribly misleading when you dig into it. A boson is actually a wave or a ripple, right ? And, why does the Higgs boson also have mass ? Self-interaction ? or is "mass" simply somehow the amount of compression the boson generates while traveling through the field ?
I'll be honest, science goes way above my head, however I find it utterly fascinating. Just a couple of questions if anyone can help. My concept of a 'field' in science is that of a 'vertical' barrier' so they pass through thisfield to gain mass, which I will happily concede is a dimensionally incorrect description of it. So if there is no beginning or end to the Higgs Field and I assume it surrounds everything much like gravity, then could the Universe could be viewed as the Higgs Field?
Apologies if it's a ridiculous notion or question, however I do praise myself as I moved away many years ago from the 'god did it' explanation.
A field is a mathematicsal representation of a 3d space just as a plane is a representation of a 2d space.
It's not ridiculous one it's a very good question
See from micro(bacteria) to macro (Galaxies) everything made of protons electrons and neutrons.( Billions of galaxies to your single strand of hair)
And those protons, electrons (quarks and leptons) are existed only because there's interaction with Higgs field. Hence it's fair to say it has no beginning and end and exists everywhere.
Hope it helps
Yeah that's the problem with analogies, kept reminding myself that we shouldn't despise photons.
Hahaha, I see what you did there!
It's actually a shame that the scientific community completely neglect the person who first came up with the idea of such particle. At first it was implemented by Satyendra Nath Bose.
West hates indians. Deal with it.
He wasn't completely neglected. In fact, "bosons" are named after Bose to commemorate his contributions.
Some scientist say that the stuff that makes up the stuff in the
universe, is mostly of space, or mass less and its the energy that holds
it and structure of it together. It is of quantum physics and how it
moves and keeps it self in place, the pattern is what makes it what it
is overall in the larger scale. from tiniest to the largest things in
the universe they all follow similar laws and of quantum physics too,
the forces that keep something going and staying together in form, in
which is essentially varying energies, or movements at work, it is most
neat and fantastic part, in which makes up everything. Also if higgs
field is real and how things gain mass, or loose mass, on how they
interact with the higgs field and how they say the higgs field is what
makes up matter is also neat, this could explain things in quantum
physic's and how things gain negative and positive dynamic's.

What is interact?
Do particle hit higgs boson or they just stay by shoulder by shoulder.
I do not mean to be more of a nerd than the video itself, or to dethrone the winner of the analogy, but I think they're complicating a simple thing. Reading the comments create more doubts than solutions. Allow me to apply Occam's Razor gently here: The Higgs Boson Field (yes, Boson with capital B, it's not just any damn boson) is just a place in the Universe, in this case, in this planet (or wherever intelligent entities inhabit and interact with matter) in which there is a field, electromagnetic, gravitational or Zero Point field, that allows atoms and/or particles to bond each other. You may call this the Matrix (Divine Matrix as stated by Gregg Braden, Zero Point Field, God, Holy Spirit, or your favorite term) in which there is the possibility and capability for molecules to bind each other and create matter. Whether there's a new particle with 125 and 127 GeV/c2 mass will not explain or solve the existence of this field. There's the Absolut, then there's the LOGOS... In order for matter to exist there's this force that allows molecules to create everything our eyes capture thanks to the Sun and slower vibrations that appear to create real things we can 'touch' and 'feel'. Massless particles that have mass are exactly particles that have mass, just like a single man that should be single is married and has a wife and kids. If there were no Higgs Boson Field, the Universe would be impossible to inhabit in terms of matter, because every particle would be dispersed towards gravitational, electromagnetical or other known/unknown fields that would make it impossible to create elements, solids, gases, liquids, plasmas, etc. Without the Higgs Boson Field, which is what Catholics call the Holy Spirit, there wouldn't be planets, stars, humans, trees, plants, computers, cars, dollar bills, or anything that is matter. The Higgs Boson Field allows us to live in matter and enjoy matter, is the manifestation of the Absolut, the Universal Consciousness, and it's crystallizing every thought... Use matter, expand your consciousness and you will escape the cycle of needing matter to succeed in eternity...

0:09 most exciting scientific observation of 2012 was the discovery of the higgs boson 0:36 in 1993,the British science minister...
The existence of the Higgs boson was theorized in the 1960s. It was first found in 2012.
What if after the big bang more and more higgs field formed? Would that mean that time and space gruadually lost "capability" (speed going from 14485893 seconds per second to 4747 seconds per second to 384 to 19 to 1)? If yes, then I suggest it could mean that the timespan from now to the big bang could be shorter than we generally think.
im fully convinced mathematicians turned themselves into idiots trying to think themselves to death
darn distractions!
logic only gets you so far until you realize there is nothing better to do but just go chill with the family and go explore!
Does this imply that all particles are mass-less and gain mass only after interaction with Higgs field?
Exactly which God do you attribute this Higg's field and boson to, careful now God is a proper name handed down through generations as well as a title for many deities. Which shipmate contributed the boson? That is not a joke. This field is said to be all encompassing. There are other sentient all encompassing fields you know, and I see great interference and troubles with our ultimate source and our repository of pan- Uni
God particle is just shorter term of God damn particle
Get I ever your self 😅😂
02:12 "...all particles are equal until they enter the room."
1. Is "particles are equal" equivalent to "particles have zero mass"?
2. Where are the particles until they enter the room (could the particles be somewhere other than the room at all)?
Ted talks are the best. I’m old and I just found we’ve been tying our shoe laces wrong from one of these. Lol
So the particle nature (whether it is going to be a quark or another particle ) is determined after its interaction with the field or does the particle just gain its mass after the interaction?
Maybe the opposite is true. Maybe the photon interacts more and thus moves more randomly. Whereas a massive particle doesn't interact and thus never changes direction and moves straight to the bar. Mass doesn't = drag. Massive particles slow down less than less massive particles. Less massive particles interact more while massive particles ignore you and keep moving through the crowd.
Thank you for a good explanation. The next step would be how to manipulate this field.
I’m excited just thinking about it haha
so , all particles are the same? ,and it's their interactions with the field that makes them different from one another ?
+Lucas z They're probably not all the same, but they may all come from the same stuff. Different states and combinations of the same building blocks . . . (er, I think).
But nobody is sure quite how small this particular set of Russian dolls goes.
Define field, don't describe it or say what it does just define it.

So why does mass increase as we approach light speed,
it doesnt it decreases
@@xcarnage8632 what decreases? Mass
yes mass
As the object at light speed will have infinte energy so the inertial mass of object becomes infinite you can search it on google
Higgs Boson is named after Peter Higgs and Satyendra Bose.
So the discovery of the Higgs boson, a bump in a statistical curve, was only needed to confirm we had a mass-giving field? Is that enough of a result to build the LHC and pay these pretty expensive guys and gals working there each month?
Brilliant explanation - Directly correlates with being human - Being a strong capable person who lives in the wild is great but Austin Powers... Now that's a book to take pages from lol real talk. Also reminds me of the lymphatic node for some reason?
Why would one particle interact with the Higgs Field more or less compared to another one if they have the same mass?
Chicken or the egg. Is mass first, or is the Higgs field first? Which one affects which? Let's take this example: One object has like 6 quarks (a Hydrogen atom). Another object has 12 quarks (a Helium atom). The Helium atom, in the presence of the Higgs field, will have more mass because it has more quarks, the elementary particles that (make up protons and neutrons) interact with the Higgs field. It's all about the total number of protons/neutrons, and a little of electrons (but electrons are super lightweight and do not contribute much). In this truth, the two atoms do NOT have the same mass. They may both be gases and you may contain them in the same sized balloon, but they are NOT the same mass, size or spacial displacement.
First, it's important to differentiate between mass and rest mass. Since E=MC^2, any particle with energy has mass, but not all particles have rest mass.
So to answer your question as rest mass, all particles with the same rest mass would interact with the Higgs field the same amount. Now, take 2 particles with equal energy but different rest mass - say, an Electron and a Photon. A Photon's energy depends on it's wavelength so it's possible for a Photon to have the same mass as an Electron (and remember, the speed of an Electron can add to it's mass as well). But, where they interact with the Higgs field differently is due to rest mass not total mass. In the video, they just call it "mass" but they mean rest mass.
An Electron can't travel at the speed of light. A photon can only travel at the speed of light. An Electron interacts with Higgs field to create it's rest mass. A photon passes through the higgs field un-slowed down, like the tax collector in the video.
did not we knew it already - Is not Gravity tells us this? I weigh different in Space and on Moon or on Earth?
I have now got a possible explanation for my obesity

Great analogy!
May I ask, you say that both the tax collector and Peter Higgs are both considered massless until they enter the room, my question is what are they when they are outside of the room? Also, where is 'outside of the room'? Are these questions ones that scientists can answer yet?
I have a question.....what create that higgsfield,is it higgs boson? or higgsboson is created by higgsfield?
The Higgs field sounds alot like "quantum gravity", for lack of a better term, which also just happens to be what theoretical physicists need to unify physics--for GRAVITY to demonstrate a measurable and very predictable affect at the quantum realm. A Grand Unified Theory. Perhaps, understanding the higgs field/Higgs boson further is key to that whole effort.
It’s QED quantum electrodynamics I believe, doesn’t have much to do with gravity
Explanation that Higgs field give masses to particles I understand.But how ? If Higgs bosons don't have any mass how can they give anything that they don't have? It complicates my mind.
They have mass, a huge mass in fact. And you've heard a nice explanation in video, what part of it did you not get?
@@ДмитроПрищепа-д3я Ok I now understand that higgs field have very large mass and it gives some part of it to particles likes lepton with interaction. Photons don't interact with Higgs field so they are massless. So how Higgs field gain very huge mass? What is the source?
@@poseidaon35 nope, it doesn't give its mass to particles, it just interacts with them and slows them down. Higgs particles interact with themselves too. That's how they gain their mass.
Well, the mass that the Higgs Field is giving the interacting particles is "inertial mass". How is this turning out to be the same mass that serves as a charge in the Gravitational Field?
Wow, what a great explanation. Even a non-Beta like myself can follow this.

So there is most likely a graviton then.
The best scientists in the world seem to believe so. It would tie general relativity and quantum mechanics together and both of those have been tested to death and appear to be very very accurate.
@@mastod0n1 I hope we figure out gravity soon. It's going to be incredible.
What are 'the particles' mentioned which are inside Higgs Field (physicists)?
It bothers me [intellectually] how scientists are constantly inventing concepts that are contradictory to older definitions - it would be so simple [and practical] to state that there is only one real function in reality, that being 'matter' (insert whatever other blanket term you prefer here) and that 'space' and 'time' are simply concepts with no real value (again, insert whatever other blanket terms you ideologically prefer here because the concept is the same), but scientists are now stating that 'space' and 'time' are matter and that 'matter' is massless when philosophically it is easy to accept that this simply isn't true. The purpose of stating this is that science can not reasonably advance in understanding the universe until it begins to consolidate the terms that it uses and accepts [and initially begins to seek] the fundamental basis for understanding the universe, being logic.
No physicist has said that space and time are matter.
Philosophical beliefs are subjective and have nothing to do with science.
It bothers me that you and others have such a complete misunderstanding of what science has revealed and yet believe that you understand it.
You should be very bothered by the connections that you have identified, you're right, that's all terrible.
But the problem is not with scientists - it's with your misunderstanding, creation of connections, and claims that science had nothing to do with.
I'm afraid this is a bit of a hand wave. They have different masses because... the mass-giving field gives them different masses.
So you sacrificed accuracy for clarity? If so, then I think I understand.
People are still flummoxed in the comment sections so they would have to sacrifice more...
The way the clump moves (like the Telephone Game) through the masses is so relative to an egregore. :) Love it #Gnosis
