    ?Please help? If the Higgs field can give Mass to lets say a electron, wouldn't that surely mean it would be incapable of reaching the Speed of Light?

    Yes and the Higgs Boson was the last piece of the standard model to be discovered. There are still more pieces yet, but the Higgs was the last one.

    Like magnetic field, moving charged particles will exert a force, so is that the same as Higgs field, moving or vibrating particle across the field will create "mass" and the mass itself is the result of higgs bosons of smaller mass surrounding the particles? So what if we cool down a particle to absolute zero K, will it be massless too since it don't react with Higgs field, much like putting an zero velocity electron in the magnetic field?

    Hmm... your comment was just unusual. I don't care about money and "God" (as defined by humans) isn't.

    Still, I like Science and stuff related to it, so I'd like to hear more of your Scientific revolution. :-)
