Understanding the Connection between the Higgs Field and Gravity

[felipenavarro]

Hi can someone explain to me how the higgs field creates gravity, or how is it related to it? I mean, if the higgs field is responsible for mass, then it should be somewhat responsible for gravity. Right?

The Higgs is not related to gravity.
It gives many particles a mass. However, look at composite particles like the proton: most of its mass comes from the kinetic energy of its parts.

Gravity acts on all energy, and mass is a type of energy. The Higgs is not "responsible" for gravity, it just changes the mass (and therefore the interaction strength) of some particles.

I am not responsible for capitalism if I give you 1€.

oh! its clear now, thanks!
