    Re: "God particle" discovered?

    I just got back from a great 4th of July and now I'm dead.

        Right. Particles with no mass do not interact with the Higgs field.

            What makes this discovery so cool is that it basically confirms that current theory is on the right track. It would have been interesting, too, if they hadn't found anything. It'd be akin to the Michelson-Morley experiment that ruled out the luminiferous aether and gave rise to a totally new realm of physics.

                Well, close, but backwards. To elaborate, photons, which are basically light, are unaffected by the Higgs field and, therefore, have no mass. In short, the Higgs field is supposed to be what gives particles mass, so light, being unaffected by this field, has no mass.

                Then i remembered i found the package last night while drunk and put it on in excitement, then immediately passed out.

                    I always figured photons were *almost* massless, which is why they were still noticeably affected by extremely large masses (read: black holes), hence why their trajectory could be curved, creating the impression of a black hole.. But if they're completely massless, being unaffected by the Higgs field, how come they're affected by gravity?

                        its because photons have momentum, try reading about general relativity a bit and it will probably explain it a lot better than i can lol
