Alex K Wrote:1. You can think of it as the Higgs field having a base excitation that is always there everywhere (which appears when electroweak symmetry breaking occurs) and gives mass, and when you have an excitation beyond this, it's a higgs boson.
Perhaps a more fruitful question would be what are the particles called when they're at their base excitation?
Which brings me to question 3.
3. Since the bosons or whatever in the higgs field are annihilated when they interact with quanta, how is it they never run out?
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
