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 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.
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.
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.
How does the Higgs field interact with gravity?
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.
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.
What gives Higgs boson its mass?
The "Higgs Field".
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.
Where is the higgs field?
The Higgs Field is present throughout the universe; it has a nonzero value everywhere.
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.
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.

Mass depends on what?
Presumably the Higgs field.
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.
What is quark and higgs boson?
Quarks are point-like particles found mainly in baryons, mesons etc. The Higgs boson is a primary particle produced when the higgs field is excited
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.
A fermion can have positive or negative chirality but what interactions determine or can change this?
Chirality of a fermion is determined by the interaction with the Higgs field. In the Standard Model, the Higgs mechanism is responsible for giving mass to fermions and changing their chirality. Flavor-changing interactions, such as weak interactions, can also potentially change the chirality of fermions.
What generates the negative charge for the electron and positive charge for the proton?
Electrical charges of particles, like their mass, is thought to be the result of the Higgs field. Hulk789: can you explain the above statement? I still do not understand it
