No son, it is clear that you do not understand what it is that you're talking about. You have an incredibly basic grasp of the concept and extrapolate convoluted, flawed conclusions based on these. And just look at the way that you react - it is the behaviour of a pubescent warmonger. Control yourself, or risk a coronary before you hit adulthood...
It's considered a valid question. It's one of wanting to understand. Your response to it however conveys that you don't understand and you don't care to understand either. You just want to continue to believe whatever it is you were indoctrinated with even if it's wrong. That's the only explanation for attacking someone that brings up valid questions. Yet you'll be one of the first to proclaim "critical thinking." Well done for illustrating the idiot's guide to critical thinking.![]()
Oh. I thought you were trying to dismiss it because of the lack of question marks. Apologies then.

Basic intro. Then mosy over to Youtube and watch videos on the Higg's field.
That which comes into existence will eventually break apart and pass away
Your question implies that there is a single Higgs Boson for each particle. Particles attain their mass by interacting with the Higgs field. The field! This is the fundamental principle of the issue. The fact of the matter here is that your question is based on a complete misunderstanding of this fundamental principle, and you naively came to conclusions based on this. This sort of cognitive arrogance on your part exemplifies why you misunderstand so much of what goes on around us, and then proclaim to "know the truth" about subjects that I'm quite sure you probably couldn't even pronounce, let alone have an intelligent conversation about.
More than just that, when these fundamental principles are explained to you, you reject them in favour of your delusional conclusions...
No, it's completely different. Actually your analogy just confuses things more. The fish (particles) are alive (mass) because the water (higgs) keeps them alive. Remove the water and they die (become massless).
I don't appreciate being mocked in an attempt to try and understand something. But hey that actually conveys a lot about the people that mock.
I don't know where you grabbed that from except your arse. Nowhere did I say anything that can be construed as even implying a 1:1 ratio of Higgs and particles. I know about the field bud! What is unclear is how the field can exist if Higgs particles decay. You get that? They are no longer there so using the fish analogy mass should disappear. I'll see if I can gather something from the videos Geriatrix provided.
You are the one jumping to conclusions because of someone questioning your preconceived notions of reality. THAT is cognitive arrogance.
The decay in your argument is what implies a direct ratio between the two. FFS, this isn't a higher grade concept to grasp. There is simply no way to dumb that down any further. You believe that we still haven't identified what gives particles their mass because the Higgs decays. That would imply a single Higgs for each particle. The Higgs is a boson. It is a force carrier. It decays. But in the process, creates what is called the Higgs field. The interaction of this field with particles creates their mass.
I'm not sure where your confusion is coming from...
