Einstein’s Explanation of the Unexplainable

Mass\u00a0is both a\u00a0property\u00a0of a\u00a0physical body\u00a0and a\u00a0measure\u00a0of its\u00a0resistance\u00a0to\u00a0acceleration\u00a0(a change in its state of\u00a0motion) when a\u00a0net force\u00a0is applied.<\/p>\n

The Higgs boson, discovered at the CERN particle physics laboratory near Geneva, Switzerland, in 2012, is according to the Standard Model of particle physics what gives all other fundamental particles mass. However, despite the work of thousands of researchers around the world, nobody has been able to figure out exactly how it does that or why some particles are more massive than others.<\/a><\/p>\n

However, there is another way to understand mass and its resistance\u00a0to\u00a0acceleration based solely on the field concepts of Einstein’s theories.<\/p>\n

For example, Einstein defined the physicality of mass in terms of the energy density associated with a\u00a0displacement in space-time which he quantified by the equation E=mc^2. This means he also defined the reason some particles are heavier than others is because they have a greater displacement and therefore a greater energy content than other masses. Pitting it another way the equation E=mc^2 not only defines physicality of mass\u00a0but also quantifies why some particles are heavier that others in terms of in terms of the field properties of space-time<\/p>\n

However, his equations and the observations of particles in particle accelerators have confirmed the relativistic mass of a body increases over its finite rest mass as it is accelerated with respect to an observer and that energy must must be added to it to do so.\u00a0 Additionally, Einstein also tells us the rate at which energy can added to a mass is limited by the speed of light. This means according to relativity, the reason why mass resists acceleration is because the speed at which energy can be added to it is limited by the speed of light.\u00a0 Putting it another way according to it, the reason mass resists acceleration MAY not be related to the field properties of a Higgs boson but to a physical property of space-time that limits the rate at which energy can be added to it.<\/p>\n

In other words, one does not need the Higgs boson to explain a particles mass and why it resists a change in motion because one can use the OBSERVABLE properties of our environment and of Einstein’s theories to do so.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
