At rest mass disappears
What is rest mass? Who is at rest? Certainly not the electron moving crazily around protons or in space . Are protons? Neutrons? Taking into account they are not fundamental, but made of quarks also zooming at incredibly speed.
No one is at rest. And I think that when they are, they convert in virtual particles. Particles with no visible mass. And why they should lose their mass while virtual? Because they do not have enough speed to bump a Higgs, destroy it, and create the gravitational effect that we measure as mass.
But these particles, at a higher speed do not have the same ability to destroy Higgs. Call it size, properties... That ratio is the rest mass, yet in real rest, they lose their mass, they "disappear", they become virtual.
So what is the secret to ramp them up? That would be bosons. Bosons I argue have also mass, included the photon. It is very very small compared with others, yet appreciated in big astronomical gravity.
Energy is gravity, and photons are good at being minuscule and cracking Higgs on their way. Not too many but they do. They have energy. They go in a line cracking Higgs (relatively little number compared to massive particles) and hardly letting Higgs affect their path. But when intensive Higgs gradients like the sun, even photons succumb change their path because of the strong river of Higgs towards the Higgs eating sun.
Photons at rest do not hit Higgs, so we say they do not have energy. They become virtual, but may still be there, waiting to be kicked and appear from quantum "vacuum". Maybe when virtual they still combine into virtual Higgs or others. All virtual because they do not have kinetic energy to be visible by destroying virtual Higgs (gravity-energy). Photons mass-ratio is very orders tiny, so they accelerate faster to c speed, their limit speed, and almost immediately out of virtual state. We need a sun to see it being affected by gravity!
Now, pick an electron. They have higher mass-ratio. Orders higher. Electrons need to be moving for us to see them. Need also to crack Higgs along the way. But crack many many more than a tiny photons.
Now. Stop an electron. What happens? It disappears. It becomes virtual. Why? Because it does not have enough energy to crack Higgs on its way. Once there, maybe decays in virtual photons because hit, or drifts...
What about a proton? At movement is same electron case but more resistance. And at rest? The proton may be at rest, but in reality its quarks are not at rest. Are having a nice interplay with Higgs by destroying Higgs while crazily zooming up and down and up. Who knows. Maybe creating Higgs also with gluons smashing, and destroying Higgs again to create back gluons, with different types and colors. Maybe some virtual photons too to account for the charge.
The point is, that a quark at real rest, also may disappear, and become virtual. And from a destroyed Higgs, you may get a quark again if in the system is the stable form.
Yes, the quark has an specific mass-ratio, but they need to be at high speeds to appreciate its mass. They are not at rest.
And gluons? They are like photons incredibly tiny mass. Arguably they really look like massless totally. But when we may see the gluon mass? If gluons are virtual, when we see its radiation? If gluons have color charge, does that mean they are affected by other gluons? Do they posses some intrinsic mass whose Higgs can affect? What happen if they accelerate like photons? Is this mass is what prevents them to out the confinement? What relation they have with bosons like W+- or Z? . How is that virtual photons interact attraction, repulsion of electric force and attraction and repulsion of magnetic force? All the same virtual photon? Could not the same bosons W+-,Z manage also this quark colors distintions in virtual form, as gluons? Are W+-, Z gluon radiation out of quarks confinement?
Extrangelly only quarks do not have a net electric charge individually, but a fraction. Also only quarks have color charge. Could it be that quarks when destroying Higgs do it a fraction of them (2/3,1/2) in virtual photons pairs, accounting for the electric charge, and the remaining (1/3,1/2), in gluons?
And gluons can only destroy Higgs creating pairs gluons, and virtual photons creating pairs of v.photons?
The fact that Higgs decays or forms from 2 gluons or 2 photons or a quark and anti quark, shows that inside the protons, the constant foam of quark antiquark or pairs or gluons appearing or dissapearing may well come from destroying Higgs. From the same gluons. That may explain why gluons tend to grow in number till occupy space inside proton or neutron.The more gluon killing Higgs you have inside, the more gradient preassure from Higgs outside pushing to come inside. Strong force.
Density of gluons must be the same, simply if you separate a quark, space grows, gluons grow from smashed comming Higgs till ocuppy same gluon density. Now your volumed grows, you eat more Higgs, Higgs outside push stronger. Now quarks are force to unite again. Extra gluons scape recombining latter in Higgs till equilibrated. Confinement.
Separate the quark too much with external force and this one scapes, another from the constant foam of quark anti quark takes the place. Antiquark scapes. But why a quark does not last alone? The moment it bumps the first Higgs, Higgs may decompose in quark antiquark. So they join inmediatelly.
A quark needs to disturb a Higgs For us to measure it (gravity, mass), but the moment it crushes one or a handful, it already recombines with the new found quarks to be more stable. Confinement.
It looks like there is a mass-ratio property, akin to rest mass. But rest mass, particles at rest, may lose its measurable mass. They may very well disappear and become virtual. Even more. Some virtual and not virtual manifestations could be indeed the same particle at different speeds.
