I have been researching online, but there are many things I am still unsure of because its hard to find the answers to specific questions. 1.) I know how scientists observe dark matter. They can view its gravitational effects. I want to know exactly how it is distributed throughout the...

Thank you for your responses. Obviously I have no idea what I'm talking about, but this is how you learn.

So does this mean that at different points in spacetime, the Higgs field can be different? I guess what I'm trying to figure out is this, say that the higgs field is effected by gravity. If it were effected by gravity, then it would be stretched by the massive gravity of a black hole. If...

1.) If the particle they believe to be the Higgs particle has a mass of 125 GeV, then how is it that the Higgs field itself does not have mass or react with gravity? If it is in fact the field creating the mechanism that gives everything its mass, and its particle form also has mass, why is it...

I don't have much understanding of physics myself yet and I don't claim to. I'm only a sophomore in high school, so please do not criticize me heavily if I say something you do not agree with. Rather than elaborate on all of your opinions I just have a few questions though. The first guy who...

Alright thankyou for answering my questions. I have one last question though. Is there a way I can change the title of this thread?

Thankyou. So I have another question for anyone who wants to answer. When we create collisions in particle accelerators we very rarely see Top, bottom, strange, and charm quarks because they decay into up and down quarks then connect to each other with gluons. Is it possible that in another...

I know that things moving closer to the speed of light will decay at slower rates, but does this include the decay of third generation quarks into second and then first generation quarks? If a third generation quark is created and in an area of the universe where things are moving extremely...
