It's the Higgs field that gives particles mass. https://www.britannica.com/video/185531/explanation-field-Higgs-particles-mass https://www.britannica.com/video

  Oh, sure, sure. What is the field?
  • ajkjk 5y ago
    It is just one of the fields. The one whose interactions give particles mass. Modern physics has been working on finding and naming all of them.

      It gives some particles some mass. I had to look it up, because I'm no physicist, but e.g. most of a proton's mass comes from the strong force binding energy of its quarks.

        That's true. I should have specified, fundamental particles. Although we're not sure about neutrinos.
