In particle language, the constant Higgs field is a superfluid of charged particles, and a charged superfluid is a superconductor. Inside a superconductor, the gauge electric and magnetic fields both become short-ranged, or massive.
This means that all of space is filled with the background Higgs field, the so-called Higgs condensate.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higgs_mechanismThe Higgs mechanism can be considered as the superconductivity in the vacuum. It occurs when all of space is filled with a sea of particles which are charged, or in field language, when a charged field has a nonzero vacuum expectation value. Interaction with the quantum fluid filling the space prevents certain forces from propagating over long distances.
Since the proposed Higgs field is a quantum fluid filling all of space, what is it's relationship to gravity?
Is gravity the result of pressure created by the Higgs Quantum Fluid?
