In 1966 Peter Higgs (University of Edinburgh) proposed that the
universe was full of a field called a HIGGS FIELD. Disturbances
in this field as particles move through it cause objects to have
mass. The field consists of countless Higgs Bosons that act like
a kind of cosmic fluid and Higgs particles that 'cling’ to the
