Higgs Boson and Entanglement.

[swestrup]

According to this article, someone has proposed that the mechanism by which the Higgs particle (as yet undiscovered) causes other particles to have mass is by being part of a universal field of entagled particles. This field interacts with force-mediating particles in a sluggish way, causing the perceived effects of mass.

The possible use of a completely entagled field of particles that fills the universe is left as an exercise to the reader. (Hint: anyone wanna build a stargate?)

Bad joke time!

Time for one of my favourite terrible jokes:

How is the Pope like a Higgs boson?

They both give mass.
