The Higgs Field is a fundamental field in particle physics that gives mass to elementary particles. It is associated with the Higgs Boson, a particle discovered in 2012, which confirms the existence of this field. Without the Higgs Field, particles would remain massless and unable to form the matter we see in the universe.
When particles interact with the Higgs Field, they acquire mass through a process known as the Higgs Mechanism. This interaction is crucial for the formation of atoms and, consequently, all matter. The discovery of the Higgs Boson was a significant milestone in understanding the universe's fundamental structure.
