Quarks and gluons fizzing away
May 10, 2012, 09:39
We all seem to be tuned in on different wavelengths with the exception of a 'chosen' few who see or detect something nobody else does.


“...Dürr's calculation shows that QCD describes quark-based particles accurately, and tells us that most of our mass comes from virtual quarks and gluons fizzing away in the quantum vacuum. The Higgs field is also thought to make a small contribution, giving mass to individual quarks as well as to electrons and some other particles. The Higgs field creates mass out of the quantum vacuum too, in the form of virtual Higgs bosons. So if the LHC confirms that the Higgs exists, it will mean all reality is virtual.” (New Scientist).

All reality is virtual - I like it ;-)
