The need for a mechanism to give particles mass from "summary" of The God Particle by Leon M. Lederman,Dick Teresi
Particles have been known to possess mass, but the mechanism by which they acquire this property has long been a mystery to physicists. To explain this phenomenon, scientists proposed the existence of a field that permeates all of space, known as the Higgs field. According to this theory, particles interact with the Higgs field and gain mass in the process. The need for a mechanism to give particles mass arises from the fact that mass is a fundamental property of matter. Without mass, particles would be unable to form the building blocks of the universe as we know it. The Higgs field provides a way for particles to acquire mass without violating the pri...
