    Can someone explain the significance of the Higgs boson?

    A clarification to my earlier post... My understanding is that the Higgs DOES NOT depend on mass-containing particles for its creation. The only precursor of the Higgs boson is mass-less energy. Are there other particles that get created without the involvement of some mass-containing...

    Can someone explain the significance of the Higgs boson?

    My 'dummy' understanding is that the Higgs is the mass that is produced when mass-less ENERGY is converted into mass. The Higgs is NOT built from other particles, it acquires its mass DIRECTLY from mass-less energy. The decay of the Higgs is what produces OTHER particles which then combine and...

    How Does the Universe Expand According to Physics?

    (Hello everyone, I am new to this forum...) Does the 'expansion' produce actual increased velocity of the mass that is affected? Does the 'theory of relativity' pertain to this increased 'expansion' velocity, mass, and energy needed to achieve increased velocity? Jay Kosta Endwell NY USA
