so the Higgs Idea this whole business has to do with the origin of mass so first. What is mass, it's something We're all quite familiar with you know when you push on any object be it a rock a mack truck Whatever the resistance you feel when you push on the object is the mass of the object now where does the mass of the object come from well clearly it's got to come from the Constituents the particles that make [up] the object But then the next question is where does their mass come from especially when we're talking about fundamental particles like electrons And quarks where does their heft where does their mass come from here is the idea according to this Higgs approach Imagine imagine that space itself is filled with a kind of invisible su...
