Is there any way to approach to some kind of explanation for inertia,from higgs field?
mfb said:How much quantum field theory do you know?
mfb said:Then I fear there is no good description. There are various analogies around but I don't think any of them accurately describes what is going on.
Because of the constituent quarks’ confinement energy?mitchell porter said:Even if there was no Higgs field, proton and neutron would still have mass.
Sure (with the usual caveats for what "static" means). Electrons for example have mass.Islam Hassan said:Can a static particle have mass in the Higgs scenario then?
The Higgs field is a theoretical concept in particle physics that is thought to give particles their mass. It is believed to be a field that permeates all of space and interacts with particles as they move through it.
The Higgs field is thought to give particles their mass, which is a fundamental property of matter that determines how much resistance a particle will have to changes in its motion, also known as inertia. Therefore, the Higgs field is closely linked to the concept of inertia.
The existence of the Higgs field was predicted by the Standard Model of particle physics, and was finally confirmed in 2012 by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. The discovery was made through the detection of a particle known as the Higgs boson, which is a manifestation of the Higgs field.
The Higgs field is important because it helps to explain the origin of mass in the universe. Without the Higgs field, particles would not have mass and the universe as we know it would not exist. It also plays a crucial role in understanding the structure and behavior of particles at the most fundamental level.
The effects of the Higgs field are not directly noticeable in our daily lives, as it primarily affects subatomic particles. However, without the Higgs field, the universe would not have the structure and complexity that allows for the existence of atoms, molecules, and ultimately, life. Therefore, the Higgs field has a profound impact on the world around us.
