Hi,
As I understand, please correct me if I'm wrong, when a subatomic particle interacts with the Higgs field it generates mass due to the higgs mechanism. Does this have anything to do with with e = mc2? (I'm not too privy to particle physics or relativity.)
Suppose an electron and a positron pair interacts with the Higgs field. Does 1MeV of energy from the Higgs field 'congeal' into the mass of the two particles?
Thanks,
