> By suggesting that the Higgs field creates mass by exerting drag, they violate both Newton’s first and second laws of motion. Personally, I've wondered why theoretical physicists don't dive into Newton's laws more. Ever since I was a kid and first learned about the Voyager probes continuing to move through space forever, my question was why?? All matter is energy, and energy is vibrations in quantum fields, and that vibration never stops (you can never reach absolute zero). From the smallest gluon bouncing between quarks to galaxies to the expansion of the universe itself, matter never stops moving. Where does this infinite source of energy come from? I understand that physics simply describes how reality works, not why, but I think it'd be valuable to know the reason fields continue to vibrate forever. |
