Higgs Field

  As far as my current understanding goes, the majority of mass derives from the binding energy between particles, and only a small amount is due to the higgs interaction.

    Weight not mass

      I was assuming that the image was confusing the term “weight” with “mass” (as both are equal on earth — give or take the variance in Earth’s gravitational field)). If weight was intended to be a separate term, then it’s just incorrect. Weight is the term given to the force that objects in a gravitational field impart on others when they are not accelerating (I mean not accelerating to mean the object is still with reference to the surface of the Earth) [1.1]. In SI, weight is measured in Newton’s [1.2] and mass is measured in kilograms [2].

  Why don’t they go to the right side?
