well, 90%+ of the mass of a proton comes from moving stuff, rather than rest mass of the quarks. so the real world impact is, having anything at all

- amelius 2mo agoAnd this mass is again an emergent property of Einstein's relativity ...
- prox 2mo agoI think I recently learned that the Higgs is actually not that much part of imparting mass for atomic particles. I thought it imparted all mass.
- ChrisClark 2mo agojust enough to keep electrons from staying at light speed like photons
- mr_toad 2mo ago> I thought it imparted all mass. It’s all relative; in the quarks frame of reference it does get all its mass from the interaction with the Higgs field.
- prox 2mo agoI really want to read more about this. It’s fascinating but also very difficult to wrap your head around. I did enjoy the Feynman talks.
