How the Higgs Field is Responsible for Mass

05/09/2023 11:47 PM

Never seen this explained quite this way...thought I would share it...fwiw

Now if we knew why photons don't interact with the Higgs field, we might be able to invent a way to bypass gravity...anybody?

Arvin Ash is a master explainer. The Higgs field gives particles a small amount of mass which gets magnified by energy.

It's simple to see how curved spacetime can cause objects to follow curved trajectories. It's not at all obvious how mass curves spacetime (gravity).

Could the Higgs field have anything to do with it?

It seems to me that the Higgs field only interacts with certain frequency waves, and curved space has to do with the magnetic field of the planets, the wrinkles follow the magnetic lines and form a lens effect that reflects the light...I wonder if anyone has compared different planets magnetic fields from planets that have similar mass but vastly different magnetic fields to see if the lensing effect is the same or different...

Gravity seems to be different from other forces, which are particular in which "particles" are affected. Gravity treats everything the same, so it seems that "bent spacetime" is a better fit.

Here is an Arvin Ash video on the subject:

Thanks. Enlightening video. I had never heard that the Higgs field had mass of it's own. Science has learned a lot in the last few years. The James Webb telescope discoveries are giving them a lot more to mull over. I laughed when Stephen hawking said we almost had a theory of everything. We still seem to be a long way from that. I wonder what will be the next thing to probe our ignorance.

The old hippies said there was no gravity. The world sucks.

Modern science has abandoned the art of un-directed play. All play today is strictly directed....into a controlled experiment. Ampere and Faraday was un-directed play. Because they were exploring. Ampere gave us angle relativity. Faraday gave us induction. And Weber verified angular relativity and velocity relativity long before Einstein.

A controlled experiment LIMITS the results. We base our understanding on those limits.....automatically.

Modern science proclaims that they have nailed down light. And 99% nailed down gravity, except for some far away dynamics.

There is still a question of mass and matter. And now, many believe that mass and matter came form am EM flux. Some even believe that EM flux can create matter.

I believe this to be insanity. We have only seen that light comes from matter. We have never seen matter come from light. And we know the gravity only comes from matter. We have never seen gravity without matter.

So light and gravity do come from matter......NOT the other way around. It's all bass-ackwards.

We still have no idea how light and gravity are emitted from mass. We can stimulate mass to emit, but have no idea of the mechanism. And all of this delay of understanding comes from the insistence that light is a wave. A shower of sparks is much closer to the dynamic of light than a water or sound wave. If they use intermittence, instead of a continuous wave......space-time theory is completely UN-necessary.

It's simple mechanics. It's just relative velocity, which sets interaction time. Mechanics has no magic or mystery.

Well light is the energy that creates life, so it is at least a contributing factor...

"photons don't interact with the Higgs field", i thought black holes affect the photons and bend the light....

I don't believe our science will understand energy and mass in the next one hundred years. The basic premise of energy and mass is incorrect.

Energy and mass are NOT physical entities......they are properties of an entity. The higgs particle is not a particle....it's just a charge fragment. Fragments are useless and meaningless. And quickly dissolve into space. CERN destroys the properties of mass and energy. You are watching those properties dissolve. That's all you are watching. And some are trying to make some sort of sense of it.

Energy is just the quantity of charge motion. Mass is the property of how much that motion is confined. This is done with the same constant amount of E field. The compactness or confinement of that motion is done by adjusting the density of that constant amount of E field. That rotating density IS inertia. There is a perpendicular spinning density of M field with it. These two rotations are expressed as inertia. The higher that density....the more the charge resists acceleration. That's the big mystery of mass.....and inertia.

The ONLY physical entities in this cosmos is charge, and the fields they emit. That's it. All force and properties come from charge except one. Gravity. Gravity only appears when charge bonds. For some reason the gigantic asymmetry of that bond causes a week attractive force between bonded structures. This leaves 6-7 paths for study of this attraction. The dipole bond has these characteristics. A huge difference in the energy and mass(inertia) of the bonded particles. A huge amount of difference between the motion and displacement of the bonded particles. A huge difference in the densities....of the bond. AND a huge difference in the volume of space, that the bonded particles occupy. A huge difference in the RPM of the spins of the bond. And a constantly moving reference for the property of bonded inertia. The inertia reference for a charge is stationary.

When a charge bonds.......the inertia is set to a vibration.....and a wobble. Inertia flux. When's the last time you saw a jerky inertia? Gravity might come from this.

All charge properties come from acceleration and confinement. Weak gravity might come from symmetry. Or lack of. An isolated charge has perfect, ring symmetry. A bond has a super non-symmetry.

No one can understand or describe physicality with math. To understand physicality one needs a physical model. And until they use one, we remain blind.

Put a constant charge on a balloon. Now expand and deflate balloon and watch the electroscope.

Build an air gap cap with round disks. Spin the disks. In opposition. At different RPMs. Measure the cap.

Many basics to learn. About an E field.
