@jay, Higgs bosom = God boobs? @Chuck, it's really simple. Everything in an atom is made from light. Some particle, in theory, makes the light in to solid matter. They want to know why we, and everything in our reality is solid with mass. I for one think it is simply a matter of perspective. Maybe they will find it. If they don't, maybe the tree doesn't make a sound if no one is there to hear it.

Ah. Isn't solid a relative term? Theorically if we ran face first into each other a billion billion times, eventually we would pass right through each other a few times, right?

@ax, not quite. Particles are what they are, but some have mass due to interacting with the Higgs field.
