Journey to discover the nature of mass (the Higgs Field)

Question: would it be theoretically possible to cancel out this Higgs field around an object (maybe with a different field), thus giving zero mass to that object and allowing travel at the speed of light? I don't know any of the maths, but I think this is a pretty interesting "what if?" question that brings up many other questions of its own.

This video was created by a MIND - one person or more, it doesn't matter. Easily one of the best blends of imagination and technique I've ever seen. Thanks!

You are not going to believe it but...

I am not looking for answers (in these videos), I am looking for questions!

[davidp6812]

Yes, and a good question is why does the universe need some of its its particles to have mass? Furthermore, why do those that possess mass have those particular values. Would atoms have formed after the big bang if they did not have mass?

where do they come up with these hypotheses? is there a mathematical or some other basis or are they just completely imagined?

The Higgs mechanism was theorized back in 1964, it was applied to electroweak theory in 1973 which predicted a neutral particle, the mass not far from the W/Z boson which was discovered in 1979. Basically, there's evidence that there is a mechanism in place that would explain the difference between the massless photon and the relatively massive W and Z bosons (as well as the difference between bosons and fermions), it just hasn't (as yet) been detected directly.

i understand the theory (basically), i was actually asking a more general question of where these theories come from. are they first imagined and then calculated to verify? how much are the mathematics in mind when they are imagining the possibilities? i think only the person who came up w/ it can answer the question...

Then you'll probably be interested in the videos uploaded with Peter Higgs talking about the Higgs mechanism. Simply type 'peter higgs' in search.

thanx, i will. great videos on ur channel btw.

Awesome. Great visualization of the concepts! Thank you.

[maurieer]

Awesome!!!

I hope they do find the "Higgs Field" or at least a better path to understanding it for future research.

What is the probability of a direct collision?

Great visualization of the particles for explanation. More, please! :)

Amazing...will be interesting if they don`t find it!
