Theorists predict that there's also a second, even thicker molasses that only affects quarks--the constituents of protons and neutrons--and gives them much more of their mass than the Higgs field does. What's intriguing about the top quark is that it has a mass close to that associated with the Higgs field and with the mechanism by which the field couples to fundamental particles. In this case, the phase transition involves a hypothetical force field known as the Higgs field, which gives spacetime a particular orientation. |
