Hello. I am an amateur. Is a Higgs boson to the Higgs field the same as an Electron(oops boson)to the electric field?
Thx

The Higgs Boson is a subatomic particle that is believed to give other particles their mass. It was first proposed by Peter Higgs in the 1960s and was discovered in 2012 by the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.
The Higgs Field is a theoretical field that permeates the entire universe. It is believed to interact with particles and give them mass. The existence of the Higgs Field is necessary for the Higgs Boson to exist.
The Higgs Boson is a manifestation or excitation of the Higgs Field. It is essentially a tiny ripple in the field that gives mass to other particles as they interact with it.
The discovery of the Higgs Boson confirmed the existence of the Higgs Field and provided evidence for the Standard Model of particle physics. It also helps to explain how particles acquire mass, which is a fundamental property of matter.
The Higgs Boson plays a role in the theory of cosmic inflation, which explains how the universe expanded rapidly in the first fraction of a second after the Big Bang. It is also believed to have been present in the very early universe and played a role in the formation of matter and galaxies.
