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.

- ericbarrett 5y agoIt 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.
