Your mass does not depend on the Higgs boson [Voice Vert Dider]


The Higgs boson is simply beautiful, but most of your mass does not depend on it. The Higgs mechanism explains the presence of mass in all things, is not it? Actually, no, it is applicable only for elementary particles: electrons get their whole mass due to the Higgs interaction, but protons and neutrons consisting of quarks are not.

In fact, the quark mass is so small that it is only one percent of the mass of a proton and a neutron. The rest of the mass is due to the energy of the gluon field. Gluons have no mass, but there is so much energy in their field that, due to the fact that E = ms2, there is a significant amount of mass in this field. That is what explains the mass you have and in fact everything around you.
