i thank through my research that a higgs field would seemingly allow alterations to get a net 0 mass but since time would also be locally effected you would need to travel at a speed to counteract the resulting "speed increase" of time thus allowing FTL travel without any net time dilation... the only problem is that you would need to manipulate materials on the quantum level in real time to avoid any crew from ageing before you get into orbit... :P please correct me if i'm wrong anywhere
i need a second opinion :)

Has the Higgs boson been found yet?
We are not sure if the theorized Higgs boson is real or not. If it is, it would be provide some support to ideas about what mass (and, therefore, gravity, which is associated mass) really is. We're still looking for experimental support that the Higgs boson is real, and now that the Large Hadron Collider is up and running, all (interested) eyes are on CERN and awaiting results.
What can the higgs boson do?
If it is found it is expected to explain the various masses of the known particles, if it is not found it might be too massive for the LHC to make. If it is proven not to exist we may have to wait for the Supersymmetry theory to explain particle masses.
What is the Higgs boson accelerator?
It isn't. The Large Hadron Collider is a proton-accelerator & collider designed to investigate the most fundamental sub-atomic particles and forces, and to try to prove or disprove the existence & properties of the hypothesised Higgs Boson, though to be responsible for mass.
When was god's particle found?
The Higgs Boson was discovered in July of 2012. The media calls it "The God Particle", but this is a misnomer; there is nothing godlike about this particle. It's the particle counterpart to the field that gives particles their mass.
Who discovered higgs boson particle?
The Higgs boson has not yet been discovered. It has been predicted by numerous physicists (the best known is probably Peter Higgs, since the particle was named after him, but more people worked on it) and many think that it is required to explain certain features of the Standard Model, which is the model which describes particle interactions at a small scale. Recently FermiLab has published results which show they may have found the Higgs boson in their collider experiments, but the uncertainties are still too great to be able to claim with confidence that the particle has been found. If it exists, it will be found by the LHC-experiment at CERN.
What gives Higgs boson its mass?
The "Higgs Field".
What is boson particle?
The boson particle is usually associated with the Higgs field. It is an energy field that transmits the mass to the things that travel through it.
What subatomic particle causes mass?
*IF* the Higgs Field gives an explanation for why some particles have mass and others don't, and *IF* the Higgs Boson is a part of this field; then the discovery of the Higgs Boson would be a major breakthrough in supporting the Higgs Field, and thus the continued use of "The Standard Model." If it is NOT found, then scientists are almsot back to the drawing board. Because of these facts, the Higgs Boson is called, completely erroneously, the particle that creates mass or (worse) the "God Particle." Even the person who first used that term to describe the Higgs Boson hates the use of it. As of this week, scientists at CERN predict that the existence of the Higgs Boson will be known within a year.
What is Bosons?
The boson particle is usually associated with the Higgs field. It is an energy field that transmits the mass to the things that travel through it.
What percentage of an atom's mass is caused by the Higgs boson?
About 2% of an atom's mass is caused by the Higgs boson. The rest is due to the effect of the Strong Nuclear Force.
How the higgs boson got its name?
It is a boson, a type of particle, that is a part of the Higgs mechanism, a theory of how particles can have mass if they are just energy
What is a higgs bosson?
A Higgs Boson is a particle that is hypothesised to give other particles their mass. All fields have gauge particles, or bosons, for example, the electromagnetic field's boson is the photon. Peter Higgs' theory was that all particles that have mass are interacting with a sea of Higgs particles, and it was this interaction that gave these particles their mass. The Large Hadron Collider at CERN recently discovered a Higgs-like particle at a mass of around 125 Gigaelectronvolts.

Why defined the mass of electron?
by a particle called higgs boson
Can dark matter also be the higgs field?
No. The Higgs Field (and it's particle, the Higgs Boson) are simply part of the explanation for why things have mass. While examine these may help us explain what dark matter is, they are certainly different things.
Is God Particle the same as Dark Matter?
The Higgs Boson (nicknamed the "God Particle", in one of history's WORST choices for a popular name) is a particle predicted by the existence of the Higgs Field, a hypothesis created to explain why some particles have mass and some don't. If it turned out that the Higgs Boson did NOT exist, then a lot of science over the last forty years would have to be thrown out. However, that boson was found, fairly close to the mass predicted -- meaning the Higgs Field can continue to be used, and the Standard Model remains the basic idea of particle physics. However, the Higgs Field, and its accompanying boson, have nothing to do with dark matter. That latter stuff (whatever it happens to turn out to be) interact with baryonic matter (ie, the stuff we understand) through gravity, and not much else. Dark matter is out there, as we can clearly see its effects -- we just don't know what it IS. But it can't be the Higgs Field, or its boson, as the field has no mass and the boson is so unstable as to disappear in less than a billionth of a trillionth of a second. Dark matter, in contrast, has been unchanged over billions of years.
What is a negative Higgs field?
A Higgs boson field is simply a medium of Higgs bosons with which other particles pass through and interact. The Higgs boson field is believed to be what gives some particles their mass, though the existence of Higgs bosons has yet to be proven.
