Dr Brian Cox explained that the Higgs particle maybe responsible for Mass. The theory was that different fundamental particles, as they moved through the...
Third time lucky !! Your reasoning seems sound to me Ed, BUT The only factor I think you need to consider is that gravity is many many billions of times weaker...
Ah - but if we exclude the electromagnetic force (which I think we can) then the force that could constrain the Higgs particle would be either the weak or...
Now I'm no expert but, having read around a bit, here's my tuppence worth. You have to distinguish between the Higgs field and Higgs particles. It is the field...
I'm not sure we can ignore the electromagnetic field ,(although the Higgs process works on charged and neutral particles) as its only averagely neutral...
I have done a bit more reading and would like to add to my previous post on the Higgs Field (and also to see if I get success in the posting this time). My...
