Can someone explain the Higgs-Boson particle?
Every object we see around us has the property we refer to as mass. We think of mass as the amount of matter in an object,and we recognise and describe its presence through observations of an object’s inertia , and the force required to accelerate it etc.We know that this mass comes from the mass of all the fundamental particles that such objects are made of and that the masses of these fundamental particles , vary enormously . But there is no obvious reason as to what mass actually is or why the fundamental particles have such a wide range of it. The Higgs particle / field is believed to be the answer . The theory is that the universe is actually filled with Higgs particles /field and it is the varying degrees of the interaction of fundamental particles with the Higgs particles /field that gives rise to the property we call mass.
