Where does mass actually come from? #Physics #Science

[00:00:00]I come to you for these frontier conversations that the Higgs mass that a particle would have is only for free particles.

[00:00:11]If a particle is >> Yes.

[00:00:12]>> in an atom >> But I have I have told you this in the past, though. I absolutely have. But but but you're absolutely right. Absolutely right. So so if I'm I'm I'm a fat proton in a in a nucleus, >> I'm not getting my mass from the Higgs field.

[00:00:28]>> No, and that's why it's a really misleading notion that many people have.

[00:00:32]They think that all mass comes from the Higgs field. It is just the fundamental particles. And here's the thing, if you were to go up into your particle data book, which I know you have a few copies lying around in your If you look up the masses of the quarks, the up quark and the down quark that make up a proton, up up and a down, add up their masses, >> He said that quickly. up up and a down The the the nucleons have three quarks >> Right.

[00:00:58]>> in them all bound together making up the proton and the neutron. But they're different combinations of three quarks.

[00:01:04]To This is This is good. Tell them
