- 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.
