I 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.

It’s all relative; in the quarks frame of reference it does get all its mass from the interaction with the Higgs field.


I really want to read more about this. It’s fascinating but also very difficult to wrap your head around. I did enjoy the Feynman talks.


just enough to keep electrons from staying at light speed like photons
