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!! :) :)
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.)
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, 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.*
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
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.
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
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.
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 ?
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.
from what i understand (by watching minutephysics) is that the boson is a part of the standard model and physicists needed to see if it actually existed to know if they are right about the standard model so that they can continue to use it :)
The biggest part of mass from an object comes from quarks (build up protons and neutrons) and their gluon field, these gluon fields are interections between quarks which reguire energy, and according to E=MC^2 more energy = more 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
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
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.
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.
By looking at relatvily theory and kinetic energy formula, the mass comes from the resistance against space time, but the structure of space time must be elastic so, when we pushes an object, we are in fact pushing space time. Space time in my point of view, squeezes an object equally in all directions, so the object doesn't move until we apply a force, but because it has been proven that nothing go faster then light, it takes some time to the the wave generated in front of the object from the direction we applied the force to pass through and squeeze the object to the other side, this creates a perpetual motion, the expansion of space time around the object is the Kinect energy. I think gravity works the same way, 2 objects close to one another has more open space of space time in between them, because space time is elastic, they are always connect, as I mentioned above, if one object disappears, it takes some time to the other object responds. If we understand better the elasticity of space time which may have some variation, we could change the E=mc2 formula to precisely understand better the forces in a small scale.
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 (;-
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
You are correct -- I was lazy with my wording. To be clear: the Higgs Boson is the discovery that confirms our belief in the Higgs field. The Higgs field is actually only what generates the intrinsic mass of the particles (which is very tiny). Quark confinement is what grants us the majority of our inertial properties on a macroscopic scale. So the point stands that it is definitely nothing like a person moving through a crowded room.
the higgs field does not react to a pencil, it reacts to the particles in it. The pencil is made out of atoms, which are made out of protons neutrons and electrons. the protons and neutrons exist out of quark. These are the elementery particles which do interact with the higgs field. Remember: only elementery particles can or can't interact with the field (photons, electrons, quarks, neutrino's ...)
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
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
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.
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...
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?
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...
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.
sometimes one feels like the world is a bad place, and people don't care, but sometimes one comes along things like TED, and you start to belive in humanity ones again
There isn't "the property" that identifies one particle from another, there is many many properties that distinguish particles from one another, there's spin, charge, mass, colour charge, generation, baryon number, lepton number, to name a few. No, the Higgs boson is not merely an origin for all particles.
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 think I have the key to unify the forces: it is called vibration of the Higgs field (theory of the bell) ... a possible vibration of the Higgs field (perhaps as a direct result of the big bang), could explain the need for extremely powerful cohesione forces in perfect balance to the atom first (inter-action weak and strong) and another that stabilize and provide them union: electromagnetism. From there these vibrations (which may account even the speed of light) find a curve according to the mass resistance in the matter, explaining precisely the gravity even in mass black holes is increased .... why the first response or movement that makes the matter at that level after "joining" is vibrated and compacted precisely: the molecular vibration ... who likes to play with math and give numbers to the theory of the bell?
It’s not about how the particles move through the highs field. It’s about how the particles interact with the Higgs field through time. It’s not about space but rather about time
Particles have mass even if they aren’t moving, and the Higgs field is distributed throughout spacetime evenly. It’s not about how particles move through the field it’s about how they interact with the field through time
Except that energy can become mass. E=mc^2. The more energy it has, either the faster it can go, or the more massive it becomes. So in the analogy, the guy either has more energy to talk to people, or can walk faster.
I’m a layman, but it seems the most obvious & logical explanation for particles acting like polarizable axial or circular, helical waves as they travel is that they’re orbiting something (a dark (or anti) matter particle perhaps). It's not unlike Earth being pulled into a wobble by the moon, or a distant star's wobble evidencing planet orbits making our trajectories as we fly thru space have an apparent axial or circular helical wave (like a packet) as well, depending on the orientation of the orbit. And since we think we know undetectable dark matter exists and should be 5 times as common as matter but don't yet know where it's distributed, it seems a logical possibility that we are in a sea of dark matter, even in otherwise empty space, and every particle (photons, electrons, etc) is paired (entangled) in orbit with one. I think gravitational waves could be dark matter waves and that gravity might be caused by the density of dark matter. This could explain the double slit experiment results, including with a detector with some interaction between the dark matter and the detector (and perhaps dark matter entanglement), it could explain the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, as well as explain the deflection of the axis of the particle's wave motion (orbit orientation) moving thru polarizing filters rotated less than 45 degrees apart, etc. Perhaps the only reason for photons' max speed limit is caused by the dark matter they're paired in orbit with interacting with other dark matter. This could also explain why the universe is expanding from the central singularity point of the big bang outward in all directions faster than the speed of light into previously completely empty universe space, given that there is no dark matter there yet.
when a massless object interacts with the field it has to have certain properties to attract the mass to itself (Much like a magnet) Not all massless objects have these features, hence they aren't becoming more massive. Just like some elements aren't magnetic.
All I could get from that analogy was that particles interact with the field, and that slows them down somehow, and that gives rise to gravitation and inertia somehow. Are you quite sure this is the best explanation you have?
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.
I meant to restate the same thing in several different ways so at least one might be clear, so if you think you understood the way I put it the first time, you probably get what I meant ;-)
actually that is true, due to particle is so small, so we calculate the mass of a particle by its energy divided by speed of light. in other word if that particle movement isequal to the speed of light so that particle is massless

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.

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
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 real question is what about E=mc2
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.)

*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.*
This explanation was so helpful, been trying to find a good analogy for a while now.
This explanation deserves all the champagne in the world.
ahhh can always count on TED to explain these things really well
Nice set of analogies, Don.
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.
Nice video. :) I just now feel bad for Mr. Higgs who just wanted a pint. :S
Higgs field has been holding us back apparently
Raise you hand if you watching this video after watched the whole 2 series of Netflix Dark.
Chin yun huang haha yes
Lmaooo yess
HAHA
Im watching it after watching Warrior Nun on netflix 😂
@@dilynnwarneke9007 Same. I also have Dark in my list so I wonder what the Higgs field has to do with both of these series
This explanation deserves a nobel price
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
We know why the scientists are not interacting with the tax collector. But why are photons not interacting with the Higgs field ?!?
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.

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
Wait, why does everyone have to say "wait" before asking a question. I can't *wait* until that gets old.
Wait, you just said wait.
OH MY TAU I JUST SAID WAIT
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
@@elemu3653 snell's law discribes lights interaction with its surroundings.
an absolutely great explanation! let's use this in the classrooms!!!!! great job. thanks for this.
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
TED-Ed somehow always manages to make me click on their video and then understand all this knowledge stuff
good job TED
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 ?
Out of all the ''higgs-'' videos I've watched, this by far, explains the best.
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.
from what i understand (by watching minutephysics) is that the boson is a part of the standard model and physicists needed to see if it actually existed to know if they are right about the standard model so that they can continue to use it :)
So Higgs Boson is just a rumor?
Sebastian Lukito not really. but higgs boson+field could solve many problems regarding mass-energy duality!
Floreen Tan I don't think you got the joke...
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
The biggest part of mass from an object comes from quarks (build up protons and neutrons) and their gluon field, these gluon fields are interections between quarks which reguire energy, and according to E=MC^2 more energy = more 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.
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
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
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
Higgs Boson particle's name is not only from Physicist Peter Higgs' name but also named after Indian Physicist Satyendranath Bose
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.
Poor tax collector nobody wanted to talk to him 😢
By looking at relatvily theory and kinetic energy formula, the mass comes from the resistance against space time, but the structure of space time must be elastic so, when we pushes an object, we are in fact pushing space time. Space time in my point of view, squeezes an object equally in all directions, so the object doesn't move until we apply a force, but because it has been proven that nothing go faster then light, it takes some time to the the wave generated in front of the object from the direction we applied the force to pass through and squeeze the object to the other side, this creates a perpetual motion, the expansion of space time around the object is the Kinect energy. I think gravity works the same way, 2 objects close to one another has more open space of space time in between them, because space time is elastic, they are always connect, as I mentioned above, if one object disappears, it takes some time to the other object responds. If we understand better the elasticity of space time which may have some variation, we could change the E=mc2 formula to precisely understand better the forces in a small scale.
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..
Peter Higgs, all the bottles for you, rip 🔭🚀🛰️🪐
No videos on the Higgs field talk about the klein Gordon equation. The whole reason why we predicted the Higgs boson in the first place
Does anyone else lose audio at 1:59? No, JUST YOU, Donna!
Sometimes with problems like that, you just need to refresh the page.
In extreme cases it might be a problem with the computer you on ^^
We've had that problem on 20 or more vids...🐥the last 5 days.
This channel is the definition of school teaches us nothing exempt for how to write an essay the hour its due
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
You are correct -- I was lazy with my wording. To be clear: the Higgs Boson is the discovery that confirms our belief in the Higgs field. The Higgs field is actually only what generates the intrinsic mass of the particles (which is very tiny). Quark confinement is what grants us the majority of our inertial properties on a macroscopic scale. So the point stands that it is definitely nothing like a person moving through a crowded room.
Perhaps 'The Grid' which psychonauts report seeing in the sky, is Higgs field and us humans are bosons.
the higgs field does not react to a pencil, it reacts to the particles in it. The pencil is made out of atoms, which are made out of protons neutrons and electrons. the protons and neutrons exist out of quark. These are the elementery particles which do interact with the higgs field. Remember: only elementery particles can or can't interact with the field (photons, electrons, quarks, neutrino's ...)
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
I love your channel Fermilab Dr. Don!
1: This Analogy
2: That one
3: meh
:'D
Thanks for this! Really helped put a better grasp on the whole higgs-boson idea!
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
Ted end should do many more videos like this!
sucks that this isn't accurate any longer
+Robeon Mew how so?
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
No idea ATM
Well done. Good explanation. Simple
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.
Thank you for a good explanation. The next step would be how to manipulate this field.
I’m excited just thinking about it haha
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...
Is literally every Indian on UA-cam a moron?
@@arnavanand8037 Aren't you an Indian?
@@blahblahshutup6024 exactly
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?
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...
Daniel Burke why he is moron again?
He truly deserves that bottle of champagne.
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.
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.
I think that's right. The boson (as far as I know) doesn't happen unless the people at the LHC trigger it in order to detect the field.
sometimes one feels like the world is a bad place, and people don't care,
but sometimes one comes along things like TED, and you start to belive in humanity ones again
I have no idea what I'm watching, but I guess I could use this and finish my homework.
I think this analogy won because it included the researchers in the analogy.
There isn't "the property" that identifies one particle from another, there is many many properties that distinguish particles from one another, there's spin, charge, mass, colour charge, generation, baryon number, lepton number, to name a few. No, the Higgs boson is not merely an origin for all particles.
THANK YOU... DR. DON LINCOLN...!!!
Thanks for explaining it with great detail !!
Hey I know Don Lincoln.
He is featured in the videos at Fermilab. He talks about particle physics and stiff related to that.
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.
Best explaination after about 20 minutes of searching.
I think I have the key to unify the forces: it is called vibration of the Higgs field (theory of the bell) ... a possible vibration of the Higgs field (perhaps as a direct result of the big bang), could explain the need for extremely powerful cohesione forces in perfect balance to the atom first (inter-action weak and strong) and another that stabilize and provide them union: electromagnetism. From there these vibrations (which may account even the speed of light) find a curve according to the mass resistance in the matter, explaining precisely the gravity even in mass black holes is increased .... why the first response or movement that makes the matter at that level after "joining" is vibrated and compacted precisely: the molecular vibration ... who likes to play with math and give numbers to the theory of the bell?
What? You're not a physicist, are you?
not, if i were, aready have the numbers
numbers are for squares, i prefer letters myself
Higgs Boson is named after Peter Higgs and Satyendra Bose.
It’s not about how the particles move through the highs field. It’s about how the particles interact with the Higgs field through time. It’s not about space but rather about time
Particles have mass even if they aren’t moving, and the Higgs field is distributed throughout spacetime evenly. It’s not about how particles move through the field it’s about how they interact with the field through time
THANK YOU. i have been looking for a lamons view on this for sometime.
Interaction, Communication, Excitation, Disturbing, etc,.
Except that energy can become mass. E=mc^2. The more energy it has, either the faster it can go, or the more massive it becomes. So in the analogy, the guy either has more energy to talk to people, or can walk faster.
That was proper quality there.
I’m a layman, but it seems the most obvious & logical explanation for particles acting like polarizable axial or circular, helical waves as they travel is that they’re orbiting something (a dark (or anti) matter particle perhaps).
It's not unlike Earth being pulled into a wobble by the moon, or a distant star's wobble evidencing planet orbits making our trajectories as we fly thru space have an apparent axial or circular helical wave (like a packet) as well, depending on the orientation of the orbit.
And since we think we know undetectable dark matter exists and should be 5 times as common as matter but don't yet know where it's distributed, it seems a logical possibility that we are in a sea of dark matter, even in otherwise empty space, and every particle (photons, electrons, etc) is paired (entangled) in orbit with one. I think gravitational waves could be dark matter waves and that gravity might be caused by the density of dark matter.
This could explain the double slit experiment results, including with a detector with some interaction between the dark matter and the detector (and perhaps dark matter entanglement), it could explain the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, as well as explain the deflection of the axis of the particle's wave motion (orbit orientation) moving thru polarizing filters rotated less than 45 degrees apart, etc.
Perhaps the only reason for photons' max speed limit is caused by the dark matter they're paired in orbit with interacting with other dark matter.
This could also explain why the universe is expanding from the central singularity point of the big bang outward in all directions faster than the speed of light into previously completely empty universe space, given that there is no dark matter there yet.
Good presentation
when a massless object interacts with the field it has to have certain properties to attract the mass to itself (Much like a magnet) Not all massless objects have these features, hence they aren't becoming more massive. Just like some elements aren't magnetic.
If it was a lawyer, not tax collector, crossing the room, would the particles quickly move away (as opposed to ignoring)?
All I could get from that analogy was that particles interact with the field, and that slows them down somehow, and that gives rise to gravitation and inertia somehow. Are you quite sure this is the best explanation you have?
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.
I meant to restate the same thing in several different ways so at least one might be clear, so if you think you understood the way I put it the first time, you probably get what I meant ;-)
actually that is true, due to particle is so small, so we calculate the mass of a particle by its energy divided by speed of light. in other word if that particle movement isequal to the speed of light so that particle is massless
