Interesting -- does that have any macroscopic/real world impact?
replywell, 90%+ of the mass of a proton comes from moving stuff, rather than rest mass of the quarks.
replyso the real world impact is, having anything at all
And this mass is again an emergent property of Einstein's relativity ...
replyI 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.
replyjust enough to keep electrons from staying at light speed like photons
