Jul 15, 2014 at 8:33 comment added Davidmh @MoziburUllah the liquid state is due to the nature of interactions of the outhermost electrons, that move so fast that you need to introduce relativistic corrections to explain that behaviour.
Jul 14, 2014 at 17:32 comment added Mozibur Ullah @Davidmh: in what way is the liquid state of Mercury relativistic?
May 8, 2014 at 14:46 comment added Davidmh And relativity does not only deal with high speeds. An atomic bomb (matter converted into energy) or the liquid state of mercury (Hg) are relativistic effects.
May 7, 2014 at 19:14 comment added Dave -1 several errors in describing physics.
May 7, 2014 at 16:17 comment added Neil Slater First four paragraphs going well. But "if it exists, is the particle that carries the force of gravity" is not correct. The theoretical particle for gravity would be the graviton. The Higgs particle and its relationship to mass suffers from being a bit fiddly to explain, and gets mixed up a lot with another holy grail of physics: Unification of fundamental forces.
