The Higgs field interacts with gravity by giving particles mass, which in turn affects how they respond to gravity. This interaction helps explain why some particles have more mass than others and how gravity influences their behavior in the universe.

Does the Photon interact with the Higgs Field?

The Higgs field is a hypothetical field which explains mass. It is believed to be interaction with this field which gives particles mass. The photon is a massless particle, so it must not interact with the Higgs field.


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.


What is the relationship between the Higgs field and the concept of ether in modern physics?

In modern physics, the Higgs field is a fundamental field that gives particles their mass. The concept of ether, which was once believed to be a medium that filled space, has been largely abandoned in favor of the Higgs field as the explanation for mass in the universe. The Higgs field is a more accepted and scientifically supported concept in contemporary physics.


How does the Higgs field affect quantum entanglement?

The Higgs Field has nothing to do with quantum entanglement. Quantum Entanglement is the phenomena that, when a particle decays into two particles, they travel in separate directions. When one particle is observed to be spinning in one direction, then we will immediately know that the other particle is spinning in the opposite direction. However, neither particle is spinning until it is observed, yet the other particle suddenly "decides" which way it is spinning as soon as the first is observed. Particles interacting with the Higgs Field (all of the particles that exist interact with the Higgs Field) simply take on mass, which depends on the strength of the interaction with the field. If a particle decays, then it will decay into a particle-antiparticle pair. Since all particles and their antiparticle counterparts have the same mass, there is no entanglement.


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.

What is a summary explanation of the Higgs Field?

A summary explanation of the Higgs Field is that it is an energy field that is accompanied by the Higgs Boson.


Could dark matter and the higgs field be the same thing the both don't interact whit matter but do affect it indirectly?

The Higgs field and Dark Matter are the same thing.... I'll take my Noble Prize now.

The "Higgs Field".


Where is the higgs field?

The Higgs Field is present throughout the universe; it has a nonzero value everywhere.


What were the forces in the god particle?

The God Particle, referred to by scientists as the Higgs Boson, is responsible for a particle having mass. Most particles in the universe have mass. However, if symmetry is to be preserved, all particles must be massless. This is a problematic result of the universe simply existing. In order to have symmetry preserved, there must be some field that is being interacted with. Higgs Particles (in order for the Higgs Mechanism to work there must be more than one) essentially generate a field. Heavier particles interact more with the field and lighter particles interact less. It can be thought of as wading through a pool: you have a harder time moving if you apply more force with your legs but it is easier to move if you use less force. The Higgs Particles are expected to have a spin of 2 and to be electrically neutral. They are not expected to interact with any forces except for gravity and the Weak Force (responsible for particle decay).


Why does gravity happens?

According to current understanding, gravity happens because of the Higgs' field which permeates the whole universe. In simple terms, the field gives each object a force which attracts all other objects.


Why was the Higgs boson named after Peter Higgs?

Peter Higgs is credited with first proposing the existence of the Higgs Field, an idea that resulted in a unification of the electro-magnetic force with the weak interaction. Peter did not name the field after himself, that came later.

Mass depends on what?

Presumably the Higgs field.


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.
