I've aimed to answer the OPs final sentence:'would it stand to reason that Energy gives matter to mass', and I did this by starting with what mass and energy means in relativistic physics; perhaps you can explain how I'm just putting out a bunch of random facts & not answering the question? | |
| May 12, 2014 at 16:50 | comment | added | Dave | -1 mainly since this answer seems to just throw out a bunch of facts without really answering the question. | |
| May 8, 2014 at 14:28 | comment | added | senderle | A useful quote from the wikipedia article on hadrons: "Note that the mass of a hadron has very little to do with the mass of its valence quarks; rather, due to mass–energy equivalence, most of the mass comes from the large amount of energy associated with the strong interaction." Apparently leptons and quarks do interact with the Higgs field, but I don't know anything about that how. In any case, the above makes it clear that the Higgs field has nothing to do with some (very important!) kinds of mass. | |

| May 8, 2014 at 13:58 | comment | added | Mozibur Ullah | @Senderle: bad journalism I think; I've read in a few places where the Higgs field has been described as the field that gives mass. Its only when I checked that I realised its only for the weak force boson. I've added a ref to wikipedia so people can check for themselves. | |
| May 8, 2014 at 0:46 | comment | added | senderle | I don't understand why this has been voted down so aggressively. Limited though my understanding is, I've read numerous things that concur with your statement that the Higgs boson has nothing directly to do with most kinds of mass. I would encourage people to comment on this -- not least to inform me of whatever error this contains, since that error must also be my own! | |
