SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the relationship between the Higgs Mechanism and the phenomenon of water climbing up walls in a rotating boil. The original poster questions whether the Higgs Mechanism is responsible for this behavior, while another participant clarifies that the concept is unrelated and suggests researching Mach's Principle instead. The conclusion drawn is that Mach's Principle is the relevant concept to explore, rather than the Higgs Mechanism.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the Higgs Mechanism
  • Familiarity with Mach's Principle
  • Basic knowledge of fluid dynamics
  • Concept of rotational motion in physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research Mach's Principle and its implications in physics
  • Explore the Higgs Mechanism and its role in particle physics
  • Study fluid dynamics, focusing on capillary action and surface tension
  • Investigate the effects of rotation on fluid behavior
USEFUL FOR

Physics students, researchers in theoretical physics, and anyone interested in the interplay between fundamental physics concepts and fluid dynamics.

The subject must have been mentioned before but I didnt find any thing so I thougt I better make a new thread.
The question is simple but I will also explain how I think so you guys can correct me where I wrong.
Does the space consists of any thing?
Yes I know that the speed of light is relative, but I don't mean in that way that its a medium for electromagnetism. My thoughts goes around a rotating boil of water, why does the water climb up the walls?
I know about the Higgsmechanism but is this reallt the answer to this question? If there wasn´t any Higgsmechanism would the water stay down from the walls?
The water should be able to claim that the universe is rotating.

Ps. sry for my english.

What you are talking about is Mach's principle. It has strictly nothing to do with the Higgs mechanism. Google on Mach's principle, and you'll find a start on that discussion.
