neeneko oh but they do. To an extent. For instance, for almost anything you could possibly do in your every-day life, Newton's Gravity, which is fairly simple, is a sufficient and perfectly fine description. As far as I know, outside of usage only _really_ useful to do more science, as of right now only GPS needs corrections from General Relativity to work appropriately. All else can be done with Newton just fine. Of course I'm not saying that all this extra knowledge is worthless: One never knows when these things will have real impact on the general public. (GPS actually is a great example of that: Initially engineers simply didn't think GR would be necessary and they left the correction off. Within _minutes_ the tracked positions were way off but as soon as they turned the corrections on it was fine. Yay for science!) My point simply is that simple descriptions can go a long way. Furthermore, as far as I know, people are actually moving towards more and more general theories which, in some sense, are also simpler and simpler. More specialized theories are "more special" by assuming more stuff. That makes them more useful for solving a particular subset of problems which take nice forms in those special theories. But it can also introduce complications which makes situations on the fringes of these special cases awkward and ones beyond those cases sheer impossible to describe. In some sense (namely in the sense that you need fewer assumptions), those more general theories actually are simpler. (Though we are so used to working _with_ those specialized assumptions, that not relying on them can seem mind-breaking at times)

Question: We know the Higgs field has a baseline energy value at all points in the universe, and we know that it gives intrinsic mass to certain particles by interacting with those other particle fields through the weak hyper charge (based on the particles chirality). But does the Higgs field lose energy to the particle that "gains" intrinsic mass from it in that point in space and as the particle moves through space? What about relativity? Is it the Higgs field imparting more intrinsic mass to particles moving close to light speed?
@a1kjlarson

Simply put, mass is the sum of the fields interacting. However, this is relative to energy. The higher the energy within any field or all of the fields, the lower the mass. The lower the energy in the fields and the higher the mass. What is actually happening is stability. The atoms retain energy very well, and it can last for trillions of years. However, as mass interacts with each other they begin to calm down. This calming effect has an added bonus feature called gravity which in turn slowly accelerates the loss of energy and the gradual increase in mass and gravity. This causes the atoms to join with each other into molecules and larger structures. When enough matter is gathered, the concentration of atoms forces the atoms to collapse upon themselves and each other producing a black hole. However, black holes release subatomic particles through jets forged in the polar regions which shoot these subatomic particles out at beyond light speed at first, but then as the particles slows in space from impacts and gravity, the subatomic particles reunite into proto atoms and then finally proper atoms. This process is substantive and takes a little bit of time, but that is why the jets escaping from black holes and quasars are so very large. There are several constants in this universe. 1. This universe is a binary universe. Everything is physically based on the concept of polar opposites. 2. This universe is one giant recycling machine, re-inventing itself as much as it destroys itself. This also means our understanding of the age of the universe is way off. These two constants are the only ones I know of. Everything else fluctuates in some degree this way or that. I hope this helps.

Another great vid. I knew that the higgs mechanism worked by being a scalar field which slowed down particles so we say they have mass, but I did not see the obvious that it then has to couple with all those particles. I don't know why I never got that, but I didn't. Thanks to this vid, I do, so now I have a lot to think about. So thanks for that. Questions: what is the coupling constant for the Higgs Field? I would guess it varies per particle, hence why some particles are more massive than other, and if so do each have a separate coupling constant with the Higgs? Knowing about some of the issues with EQD and couplings, do Higgs couplings also require charge or mass renormalization? Lastly, does the Higgs field itself explain the need for mass renormalization for every other particle?

+evilcam 1.) It does vary per particle. (Specifically the massless particles that make up massive ones. The electron is a combination of two massless particles for example.) Do you know what a Yukawa interaction is? 2.) Yes, the renormalization is what gives us the masses we get. 3.) No.

Thanks Gareth. I did not know what a Yukawa potential was when I wrote that, but I found it by looking at the wikipedia page for the weak hypercharge. I sort of understand it...but certainly not well. 2. There is a problem with saying that renormalization gives us the mass. The mass number requires renormalizaition, else you get infinities when you calculate its amplitude average. I thought that the Higgs field coupling with various particles would explain why that mass has to be renormalized, but looking into it I have yet to find why that is, or more accurately how that works. I was also looking for the specific values per coupling constant per particle per higgs field interaction. Everyone knows the QED coupling constant with photons and the electron, 137.03599....(though to be honest I don't know in what units that value is using) but I could not find anything about the values for other couplings. As for your third answer, since it is tied to the second question; do you know why then we have to renormalize the mass number? I read that Dirac thought renormalization was foolish and that we should just accept the infinities, but I really did not understand his reasoning. I read that Bethe developed renormalization just in order to do the calculations, but I don't know if anyone has ever explained where those infinities come from (aside from the obvious answer that they are the solutions to the equations sans infinity). Thanks again for answering and helping not only me, but dozens of other people along. I see you on a bunch of different vids on a bunch of different channels just being awesome, and I wanted to say that I appreciate you immensely for that.

+evilcam " I would guess it varies per particle, hence why some particles are more massive than other, and if so do each have a separate coupling constant with the Higgs?" Yes. Each Yukawa coupling is proportional to the mass of the particle in question. A Yukawa coupling is just the coupling constant in an interaction between a fermion and a scalar like the Higgs. Nothing fancy. "do Higgs couplings also require charge or mass renormalization?" Yes, but a nonzero mass renormalization is incompatible with the symmetries of the theory. You do however get charge renormalization. "Lastly, does the Higgs field itself explain the need for mass renormalization for every other particle?" Well really the only particle that gets mass renomalization is the Higgs itself since it is the only particle for which an explicit mass term is allowed. The mass renormalizations of other particles can be interpreted as a charge renormalization on the couplings with the Higgs.
@mage1over137

+evilcam So the fact that it slows downs particles means that obviously has to couples to those particles, because the only way slow down particle is through interactions, which means there has to be a coupling constant. The constants for each field/particle is proportional to mass of that particle(actually you can think of the mass as the coupling constant), for fermions the mass comes through Yukawa coupling. For itself and W and Z bosons when the symmetry breaks, the mass is proportional to the value of the higgs field. Mass and charge renormalization is actually is needed because coupling constants are not actually constant, but rather functions of energy.

Nice way of explaining Higgs field and the associated Boson in a limited timeframe, thank you there! Still two fundamental questions- 1. How to ensure the anomaly in the debris results of LHC (the energy blip) is attributable to only the Boson from Higgs field and not to a yet another particle from another not yet discovered field? 2. Conversely, as the disintegration is studied, what exact properties or attributes found in the study make the unknown particle the expected H.Boson more likely than any other particle?

+Martin Ravn quarks and electrons are fundamental particles. They get their mass from the Higgs field and Higgs interaction. However it is true that protons and neutrons, which are make up of quarks bound to each other, have an effective mass resulting from the binding energy that is much greater than the intrinsic mass of the constituent quarks.

+SectorCodec If I remember that video correctly, they made several different points about how to think of mass. Mass is a property of energy. Matter is basically energy bound together and mass helps describe how strongly matter interacts with gravitational fields. In the video, I think they also said that one way to think of mass is as the total kinetic, potential, and thermal energy contained in an object divided by the speed of light squared.

Only things that doesn't have mass can accelerate to the speed of light, such as photons. however electrons doesn't mathematically have a mass either, so they should move at the speed of light too, but still doesn't and when weighed, it has mass? higgs mechanics proposes a field, just like electromagnetism and gravity, that interacts with the electrons and gives them a spin, spin equals energy, and mass is a property of energy. This spin is also what gives the electrons the property of magnetism in magnetic atoms, atoms gets the property of magnetism by having an unpaired electron, and by having an unpaired electron its quantum effect gained by the spin is not canceled out by another electron and thereby achieves magnetism. Now this higgs field was just a theory until proved real by the higgs boson in 2012. The higgs boson doesn't actually have anything to do with mass, but a boson is also known as a fundamental particle. so this higgs boson proves that the higgs field exist because its a fundamental particle of it, just like quarks is a fundamental particle for neutrons and protons. That is how I understand it

Energy is a relatively abstract concept. The simple answer is that energy is everything. From our current understanding, the fundemental particles are energy ripples in their respective fields. ie. Light is an energy ripple in the electro-magnetic field. Nothing is really a "particle." According to Einstein's full equation, "Particles" can have momentum without having mass (Equation below). And since everything that has momentum has a wavelength, light can *act* like a wave or a "particle". We have demonstrated with Young's double-slit experiment and Einstein's photo-electric effect. E^2=(P^2)(c^2)+(m^2)(c^4 ) E-energy P-momentum m-mass c-speed of light in a vacuum This is to my current understanding. Feel free to do more research on this. Quantum mechanics is both very interesting and strange. P.S. I know this question is old, but this for anyone that stumbles on this.
@hans3331000

E=mc^2 basically says that mass is energy and energy is mass, just different manifestations of each other. A photon has no mass but it has energy still, because it has momentum. we know momentum is mass X velocity, so technically if mass = 0 , then 0 X velocity =0 right?..not exactly, because now we know that energy is mass, we can assume a photon DOES have momentum, and my theory is that's the reason light can interact with strong gravitational fields like black holes, even with no mass. In nuclear physics we learn something called mass defect and binding energy, interesting topic, but essentially, if you try to add up all the electrons, protons, and neutrons from a single atom, it will weigh more than the original atom itself because the atoms used a little bit of it's mass and turns it into energy (Binding energy) and when it's broken apart it will return to it's constituents. The actual notion of what energy is? i don't know. all i know is it's always conserved, can't be created or destroyed and hopefully someone else can explain it.

Higgs boson infinite source of hypercharge? Infinite is not physical. From results obtained from studying Bose-Einstein condensates you can define psi (psi squared is the density of particles n) as the order parameter of the boson condensate and is conjugated variable to the phase. The uncertainty principle applies and there is uncertainty in the density n. You can use a coherent state, a state that is a superposition of particle states and obtain an uncertainty in the field as sqrt of n. The Higgs boson field is a condensed quantum field with quantum fluctuations in density. However, since n is very large and sqrt of n is also very large, then for all practicle purposes you can say that quantum fluctuations of the condensed field of bosons are infinite.

I have a couple of difficult question: 1st) since apparently there is only the higgs boson and no gravity boson or graviton (or at least so far and at the scales of energies we can reach) does this mean gravity and mass are not connected? Or are they but not on a quantum level? 2nd) since matter and antimatter were not perfectly balanced resulting in our "full of matter" universe, and since gravity works only one way (attraction with mass and not repulsion, like i.e. the EM force): does this mean that inflation is caused by antimatter's laying outside our universe?

Question: if space time has tension and is pulled in/condensed by mass/energy, how does this analogy play with other physics like hooks law? Does space time pull in the space around it leaving a space that is less dense than ambient space where the mass has pulled space time away from areas with no mass? Would this have an effect on the QFT fields or gravity? I'm extrapolating in my mind how that could explain dark energy and where space time is less dense, invert the effects of gravity producing a push instead of pull Force. This pushing any mass/energy down the hill towards other areas leading to our filamentous universe. Also how space in those areas would continuously be expanding while local space time remains spatially stabilized.. it's a fun thought experiment. Like floating BBs on a container filled with a fluid and covered by a rubber sheet. Push down in one spot, and the rest of the sheet floats up above the neutral position.. a really wrongheaded explanation of dark energy.. but fun to think about :)
