Reminder for new users here:
The Higgs field (see below) gives mass to fundamental particles, like the electron and the quarks in protons and neutrons. But most of the mass of protons and neutrons is due to the binding energy of the strong interaction. That thus applies to your body too.

Reminder for new users here:
It is not the Higgs boson that gives mass to fundamental particles but rather the interaction with the Higgs field. The Higgs boson is an excitation of the Higgs field, and through its observation the existence of the Higgs field was confirmed.

Fascinating: People who describe themselves as conservative now have a lower opinion of Dick Cheney -- really, that Dick Cheney -- than do liberals.

It's arXiv day! Ever since I started studying black hole perturbation theory, I've been mystified and fascinated by its duality invariance between even and odd polarizations. I put together some of my thoughts here: arxiv.org/abs/2310.04502
