The Higgs Field and Mass Explained

This chapter explores the essential role of the Higgs field in imparting mass to particles and discusses the distinction between observable particles and abstract fields. Using analogies, it illustrates how energy oscillations in fields can create mass, while also pondering broader philosophical implications of these phenomena. The discussion emphasizes that while the Higgs field contributes to mass, much of the mass in protons arises from strong force interactions within quarks.
