Boson Fields

[Ghetalion]

Is it possible that boson fields "absorb" matter the same way electrons "absorb" photons, thus explaining why we cannot detect them?

We ceratinly can detect boson fields infact by looking at your screen you are detecting one (the electromagnetic field). I think you mean the Higgs boson field.

Whats a Higgs boson field?

The Higgs field is the field proposed as the mechanism that gives particles mass, it's a bosonic field.
