Witaj!
No i właśnie tu mam niewielko zagwozdkie, bo w ogóle temat poruszyłem tutaj po lekturze tego wpisu, a w szczególności:
Cytat:7. The Higgs mechanism makes the universe interesting.
Cytat: If it weren’t for the Higgs field (or something else that would do the same trick), the elementary particles of nature like electrons and quarks would all be massless. The laws of physics tell us that the size of an atom depends on the mass of the electrons that are attached to it — the lighter the electrons are, the bigger the atom would be. Massless electrons imply atoms as big as the universe — in other words, not atoms at all, really. So without the Higgs, there wouldn’t be atoms, there wouldn’t be chemistry, there wouldn’t be life as we know it. It’s a pretty big deal.Ale uwaga:
Cytat:8. Your own mass doesn’t come from the Higgs.
Cytat: We were careful in the previous point to attribute the mass of “elementary” particles to the Higgs mechanism. But most of the mass in your body comes from protons and neutrons, which are not elementary particles at all. They are collections of quarks held together by gluons. Most of their mass comes from the interaction energies of those quarks and gluons, and would be essentially unchanged if the Higgs weren’t there at all. So without the Higgs, we could still have massive protons and neutrons, although their properties would be very different.No i w sumie stąd moje dociekania.
