The approach to describing forces in
terms of bosons works only if the bosons are massless, like the
photon and gluons. So to do the same for the weak force, which
has bosons with mass up to 90 times the mass of the proton,
theorists invented the “Higgs field,” which lurks in the vacuum
and interacts with actually massless particles such as the
electron, neutrino and quarks, to give them the small masses
they have, and to provide a large mass for the actually massless
bosons of the weak force. The particle manifestation of this
field, the Higgs, has finally been found. Since the Higgs does
exist, then all mass is a result of interactions, and
there is no genuine mc2 term anywhere in the full
energy of any object. The pointlike, dimensionless particles of
nature very likely have no actual mass... which perhaps ought
not to come as any surprise.
