well, 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.
reply> I thought it imparted all mass.
replyIt’s all relative; in the quarks frame of reference it does get all its mass from the interaction with the Higgs field.
just enough to keep electrons from staying at light speed like photons
