thomma Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Sorry if this sounds stupid, does the supposed Higgs field exist now, or could it have been present just after the big bang and imparted mass to those particles at that time? Also how does the Higgs particle get this mass just by interacting, what happens(or happened) to this field, what powers(?) this field? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomma Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 I'm not sure why there aren't any replies to this. Is it just to difficult or stupid? I thought I would pose this to a forum that usually has lots of viewpoints and generally answers as well, must have been mistaken! Even someone pointing me in the direction to answer would be helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathematic Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higgs_mechanism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higgs_field Start with the above. My (limited) understanding is that the Higgs field has been around from the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
