Until this channel I never realized just how specialized the sciences are in the case of astronomy, physics, planetary science, and particle physics. I always thought that all physicists [had] to learn particle physics but it turns out that many physicists don't really understand the nature of particles in an extraordinarily detailed way. And particle physicists may not understand astronomy with the same level that astronomers do. To think an astronomer could say, "I don't know that much about those particles, you'd have to ask a particle physicist for a more in depth understanding." I swear I always sort of thought that they all knew each other's fields by heart lol

I'm probably wrong, but this is how I understand it: The universe is not "empty". It's permeated with the Higgs field, and all particles either do or don't interact with it. Most particles do, but some, like photons, don't. This interaction impedes the particle's movement, giving it mass. Photons do not interact, and therefore are massless and travel at the speed of light. Particles that do interact with it cannot move that fast, and therefore have inertia, ie. mass.

What bothers me about the professor's explanation is this: if you assume the Higgs is the "popular" particle in the room, attracting others, it seems to make sense that its motion would be inhibited by all the "crowding". But that means we are assuming those crowding particles have inertia (resistance to motion). So we're effectively using the property of inertia in an analogy to explain itself. A bit circular. The same thing happens with the old "curved space" analogy for gravity.

Mass is quite easy to explain once you have a reasonable understanding of frequency and amplitude resonances in quantization - modulation of modulation is what you see in holography, so the Einsteinian m=C²/E is a state-ment about the Equivalence of mass-energy-momentum compounds of Reciproction-recirculation modulation interference positioning resonance at different levels of vibration. A model that might help is the Vortex Cannon and the Toroidal spiral of spirals in the vortices all composed of AM-FM time-timing sync-duration recirculation resonance. The concept of Electro Motive Force in such a vortex field and symmetrical back EMF superimposed to make Reciproction-recirculation mass-energy-momentum at a particular location of phase-locked coherence-cohesion sync-duration resonances is comprehensible, well for a Projection Drawing Student who spends enough effort on the pure-math spin-field components..

Quantum physics for you! A vacuum isn't empty, far from it. There are particles popping in and out of existence every second and you don't know what it, this isn't hypothetically, it can be imaged. 500 words is a tiny amount to write everything about, but it has to do with the uncertainty of a particle's mass/energy at the atomic level, no laws are broken, it is essentially just nature.

While blackhole is just where the speed of the expanding space is greater then the speed of light. if so one would expect to see a deceleration of a unpowered mass unexpected by curent models as a mass leaves a gravity well. One would also expect to see a redshift in most sources of light.

Why would people ask "What causes mass?". I really don't understand that question. I think the most natural way is to assume that mass is simply intrinsic to things that are massive. Why does an electron have mass? Well, that's just part of being an electron! Of course, it turns out that there is an explanation (i.e. Higg's boson), but why stop there? Why is that the last turtle? Why are the properties of Higg's boson intrinsic?
@Cosmalano

An intrinsic property would be electric charge. Mass is not. Mass can change due to an increase in velocity. As you can see when doing relativity, mass is just a form of energy. In fact, when you do particle physics, energy and mass have the same units, "electron volts."
@IamGrimalkin
8 жыл бұрын
The reason why is that electrons have certain properties which are associated with zero-mass particles, but observation shows them to have mass, so the solution is to have something else give it mass, i.e. the higgs field. The Higgs boson does not have this problem, since it does not have these properties.

Nobody under the age of 60 does, and if you try to order a “demi-livre” of anything from someone under 30, they will just stare blankly at you. And even back when “livre” was still in common (colloquial) use, it meant 500 g, not 489.5 g as the old French pound or 453 g as the Imperial or customary pound, because it was redefined under Napoleon to facilitate the transition to the metric system.

My theory explains why things have inertial mass and also crosses over to answer some questions regarding gravity. it explains why things want to stay in a straight line and more. But I'm not PhD or some well known scholar. So nobody cares to listen lol. Oh well... that's what you get for growing up in the wrong country (and the wrong part) 8 years old (back in early 80's), before I ever heard the name Einstein I put yet another cricket ball through our farm window. When i realized something fundamental. i then took some of the larger pieces of broken window and laid them on the ground. Placing the cricket ball on top nothing happens. letting it drop and pick up speed (from the roof) it had the same effect as when i first broke the window. So gravity (which was a word I haven't heard) had the same effect. But what really boggled my mind is that when I placed ball on top and (whilst wearing shoes - we were always bare foot) If I put my foot on top of the ball and slowly started to put my weight on it, eventually it also broke the glass..... i concluded that, the faster an object moves, the more (energy - i didn't call it that though) had.... but gravity and mass had the same effect... they are all related. Well, needless to say all my friends and parents thought I was rambling silly kids game stuff.... All my experiments and inventions were just gimmicks to everyone. If school was any different maybe that would have turned things around... but growing up in rural farming South-Africa .... science and physics was not even in the dictionary. Bummer... would've loved to work in the field.

I don't think should implement new units for things when numbers get too big, like the sun being in solar masses. We should just increase the amount of prefixes to account for that. Let's say we introduced a prefix for 10^33 and called it "solar". Then the sun would have the mass of about 2 solargrams. It makes way more sense. It's not hard to imagine that a cluster with 50 solargrams would weigh 25 times the mass of the sun, you can do math that simple in your head. It accomplishes example what you said solar units do without introducing a new unit system. Also, a side note: why the hell is kilograms the base unit for the SI system and not grams? It makes no sense and it needlessly confusing. A newton, for example, is defined as 1 kg m/s/s. Why not 1 g m/s/s? If kilograms are the base unit, would a thousand kilograms be a kilokilogram or a megagram? It makes no sense. There's no reason the unit system needs to be confusing at all.

Because 1 g m/s/s is too small for most macroscopic purposes. In the past, they did have the gram as the base unit of mass... but because of this, the base unit of length was the centimetre to match. Force would then be in dynes and energy in ergs. If it makes you feel better, call the kilogram the "grave", that's what it was used to be called. 1000 kilograms is a tonne, 1000 tonnes is a kilotonne, etc.
