Thanks
Never mind, I see a lot of sharp minds here but I stumbled onto the wrong campus. I'll take my discussions elsewhere.

Thanks for catching that mistake on the first note about the higgs having no mass, i was thinking of way outside the box.
Pleas don't snipe, like others I'm just here to learn. We have only begun to get close enough to photons to learn their behavior much less what their composition is. I'm...
I finally came here after getting interested in particle physics and the required math beyond my formal math and physics courses. I'm mostly here to share ideas and learn what I can from others. I respect all critique but will avoid sniping matches as that wastes all of our time. I expect to be...
I would have to stick close to phinds answer. A higgs being a force carrier would not have mass but it's signature has the effect of giving mass. This is one of those areas that seem to be mostly theory at this point making it hard to nail down an answer. For now I look at higgs field(s) the...
Photons are but one of the force carriers, IMO, I don't see why matter would decay to wandering photons.
How far would the universe have to expand to allow all particles to just spread out even to decay just to helium or sub particles.
As long as an attractive force is in place particles will...
Wow, I still have a lot to catch up on. I saw a few shows from the original in the 70s then heard people talking about it this year and decided to get the DVDs. Cable is the only place we get it in lower Alabama and it's on a tier I don't have. I've been pulling in a backlog of DVDs including...
