Higgs Boson vs GR's Spacetime: Is Mass Effect Obsolete?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the claim that the discovery of the Higgs boson could render the concept of mass effect, specifically spacetime pressure and curvature as described by General Relativity (GR), obsolete. Participants express skepticism about this assertion, emphasizing the importance of established theories in Special Relativity (SR) and GR. The referenced article is dismissed as "crackpot nonsense," indicating a consensus that the relationship between mass and spacetime remains valid despite new discoveries in particle physics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Special Relativity (SR)
  • Knowledge of General Relativity (GR)
  • Familiarity with the Higgs boson and its implications in particle physics
  • Critical analysis of scientific literature and claims
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of the Higgs boson on mass and gravity
  • Study the fundamentals of General Relativity and its predictions
  • Examine peer-reviewed articles on the relationship between particle physics and spacetime
  • Explore critiques of non-mainstream scientific theories
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, students of theoretical physics, and anyone interested in the interplay between particle physics and cosmological theories.

i was just reading a article that said that if the higgs boson is proven for fact, then the concept of the mass effect (spacetime pressure and curvature) would be obsolete. Is this true? i spent so much time teaching my self about SR and GR.

Can you cite the article? The claim seems wrong, but without seeing the actual article it is hard to say.
 
the article is actually really long (It more of like a paper) <crackpot link removed> the part about this matter is towards the part appendix "A" about Newtonian laws.

That paper is crackpot nonsense, and we don't discuss crackpottery here.
