B How does vibration affect the Higgs field interaction?

[robindymer]

I have been thinking about the Higgs field and how things interacts with it. I thought about why photons for example does not interact with it while quarks does. It could be because of the size and if when a particle is a certain size it will interact with the Higgs bosons and then slow down and also gain mass. But I also think that vibration should affect the interaction aswell, because if a particle vibrates more it should interact more with the Higgs bosons and therefore gain more mass. So my question is if this is true, that vibration affects the friction. And I might as well squeeze in another question. Things get heavier the faster they travel. Is this an effect of the Higgs field because that the faster you drag two objects against each other, the more force you need and therefore it gets heavier, so it seems to be logical.

Unfortunately size has nothing to do with it. Subatomic particles can't even be assigned a size in the classical sense. All are modeled as point-like particles of zero size. What that means is that we can always localize any subatomic particle down to a region of space of any size, no matter how small. We never find that, upon checking a smaller region, a particle went from being localized inside our larger region to being localized within two smaller regions at the same time.

But I also think that vibration should affect the interaction aswell, because if a particle vibrates more it should interact more with the Higgs bosons and therefore gain more mass.

Vibration also has nothing to do with it. A single particle located in free space is not even vibrating.

Things get heavier the faster they travel.

They do not. The mass of a single object does not change with speed. What does happen, is that the mass of a collection of objects (known as a system of objects) increases if you increase their relative speeds. It's a bit counterintuitive.

Is this an effect of the Higgs field because that the faster you drag two objects against each other, the more force you need and therefore it gets heavier, so it seems to be logical.

The idea of an object's motion being resisted by the higgs mechanism is nothing but a way to help the average person visualize the extremely abstract workings of the higgs mechanism. The higgs mechanism is not related to friction in any way whatsoever.
