Please answer this. So it sounds like the Higgs field is like an invisible 3-D fishing net that is cast throughout the universe waiting to interact with mass that is "caught" within the net. Large things like fish (mass) interact with the net more while small things like krill (electrons) or bacteria (photons) have almost no interaction with the net. And the higgs boson particle is one link in that fishing net. Am I close?

Yeah this makes me wonder as well. Hank states that photons are massless, which they are considering their speed. Yet, they do interact with the Higgs Field with a different type of matter (black hole matter if you will) and it's able to attract photons. Using your analogy, a really dense net to where nothing can escape. For light "doesn't interact with the Higgs Field" but it does interact to a black hole. Which doesn't make sense but that's the way it is I assume
@GuitarGuruGaming

Tate H light actually doesn’t interact with gravity as such, the light is not curving towards the gravity because it is being pulled in, the space-time around the black hole is curved, the light travels a straight line through this curved space, when you straighten out this curved space or rather view it from an outside perspective the line it travels appears quite obviously curved. Any object which has mass would require an effectively infinite amount of energy to move at the speed of light and would also become denser the faster it moved, since photons aren’t essentially infinitely powerful black holes rocketing around at the speed of light it’s pretty safe to say they have no mass and will not interact with the Higgs field regardless of its density Tl;dr gravity doesn’t effect light because photons are massless, but light traveling through curved space time will appear to “curve” without having ever turned(from their perspective) hence why black holes “attract” light

You get mass (ie: reason you don't fall apart :P) from the Higgs FIELD. This is because everything is "moving" all the time, or oscillating. This oscillation and it's interaction with the Higgs Field is why you're more or less massive. :) The more a particle is oscillating, the stronger it interacts and the more massive it is. The photon is oscillating very little, hence the speed. Mass is "sluggishness" you could say. x)

Its not the higgs boson that gives mass, its the field itself. The boson was only important because its evidence of the field. Also the majority of the mass of an atom isn't from the higgs field, only about 1%. Most comes from the binding energy of the strong force inside the nucleus. (E=mc2).

Shivani Mishra Imagine this "Probability field" of "virtual particles" as a... rippling water surface. You have a dynamic pattern of moving spikes and pits. And that is all good. Now imagine a layer of fabric streached several millimeter above this rippling water. And look from above the fabric. If you have enough energy in this ripples, at some point you might get a spike big enought to actually reach the fabric and put a water drop there. You will see this place from above, even if you don't see the ripples. And it changes the propertiea of fabric in the place of contact. That is obout what happens with particles presenting themselves. So the "Field" if your water, and Energy is the intensity of ripples you have you have under the fabric. Spikes not reaching the fabric are virtual particles, and wet spots on the fabric are real particles... Hope that helps your imagination.

I'm not sure if you read these but I would like to point out that the value of the field at a point cannot be directly interpreted as a number density in the way you propose. An easy way to see that this is true is to note that you can add any constant to the field and still get a theory that you can work with, if a little abstruse. If you want the number density, calculate the expectation value of the number operator. That is a semi complicated expression involving the field and its momentum density. In particular, it is emphatically *not* true that the ground state of the electroweak theory has a constant density of Higgs bosons constantly flying around. Higgs particles (the leftovers from electroweak symmetry breaking that we saw at the LHC) are real (not complex) scalars, which means that their number is not a conserved quantity. The Higgs vacuum is a true vacuum: act on it with an annihilation operator and you get zero. Act on it with a creation operator and you'll create a Higgs boson. . The fact that the field has a nonzero value cannot readily be interpreted as long as one still clings to the notion that fields are just convenient ways of describing particles: fields *are* really the degrees of freedom in nature; quantum mechanics *does* allow for continuousness. Further, it imposes it. Another point which is more of a curiosity since it's incidental to this video: it is not, in fact, electromagnetism that keeps you from falling through your chair. It was shown by Freeman Dyson that the stability of matter is mostly due to Pauli's exclusion principle. It's less important that your electrons are electrically charged than it is that they are fermions which cannot occupy the same quantum state.

I have a question, why is it called electroweak? Is it because of the fact that a W boson can have a positive or negative charge?
@isodoublet
9 жыл бұрын
electrocat1 It's because this model "unifies" electromagnetism and the weak force. That the W bosons are charged is a consequence of this unification. The "true" symmetries of the theory don't predict photons or W and Z bosons. The forces are carried by particles called the B, W^+, W^-, and W^0, all massless. The B is like a photon, while the Ws are like gluons. Then the Higgs mechanism kicks in and the symmetries of this theory break. As a result, the bosons acquire mass and the W^0 "mixes" with the B. There are two possible ways to do this mixing. One of them results in the photon, which turns out massless, and the other results in the Z^0, which is slightly heavier than the Ws. That's a very rough snapshot. The model itself is complicated and full of moving parts that are hard to keep track of. Surprisingly enough though, all the math you need to have a basic understanding is at the high school level.

No they didn't. First: It would be no surprise that a law could be broken, they just explain something we can measure. But owaht is happening is that when a particle like that come to existence, a particle of negative mass also comes. That's waht we call black mattter.

TomdeArgentina I think 'black matter particles' and Higgs-Boson particles are the same thing, they just couldn't figure out how to figure it out before.

I'm not a physicist, but I'm always interested in learning about this stuff whether it's from Hank or another reliable source. And I think it's fair to say that when you get to this level of physics words and basic language can't really do it justice. On this this level, the concept of "existence" has a much more complex meaning. Metaphors can also be misleading because they can still make sense without data to back them up. I still really appreciate videos like this. Keep it up Hank!!

Your particle physics is a bit off, which is understandable, but as someone associated with Fermilab (the US's main particle physics lab) I can assure you that fields DO exist, and in fact all particles are in fact a property of fields. This is why photons behave like particles, because all particles are really waves on fields. So every field has an associated particle (or several) and every particle has an associated field. That is why force carrier particles exist and seem to pop in and out of existence randomly, because they are just a property of the field which is being disturbed there. I hope that clears things up all though I understand that sounds completely insane to normal people, which is why physicists prefer to explain it to mere mortals in terms of particles.

jwi-jma because you just have an explanation and not the actual theory. ever been to school? try to understand economics. everyone knows that supply and demand are correlated and that demand is higher when prices are lower but how exactly it works is a fucking tedious science that I m studying right now and wouldnt recommend you doing :)

Yimin Lu The Higgs DOES have mass. 135 times as much as a Proton or Neutron, to be exact. And they didn't detect it by its interactions with other particles, they detected it by smashing protons together at almost the speed of light and actually creating it (momentarily), then observing that it was there by the debris it left behind. The then did that a million times (or some other huge number) until they knew without a shadow of a doubt that there was in fact a 135 AMU particle in existence and it wasn't just random noise.

DroidFreak36 Maybe you can explain this to me then - he says in the video that he would have the same mass anywhere in the Universe. My understanding is that i.e. on planets with a lower gravity than Earth, he'd weigh less and, on planets with a greater gravity he'd be heavier. Am I right, or is he?
