Is it possible that boson fields "absorb" matter the same way electrons "absorb" photons, thus explaining why we cannot detect them?
Yes, boson fields have the ability to interact with and absorb matter through various interactions such as the Higgs mechanism.
Boson fields interact with matter through various forces, such as the electromagnetic force, strong nuclear force, and weak nuclear force. These interactions are mediated by different types of bosons.
Boson fields are an essential part of the Standard Model, which describes the fundamental particles and forces in the universe. They are responsible for mediating interactions between particles and giving them mass through the Higgs mechanism.
No, boson fields can only interact with certain types of matter that are defined by their quantum properties. For example, boson fields can interact with particles that have integer spin, while particles with half-integer spin do not interact with boson fields.
Yes, experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN have observed the Higgs boson, which is a manifestation of the Higgs boson field, interacting with and giving mass to other particles. This is a direct observation of boson fields interacting with matter.
