Is the Higgs Boson responsible for the mass of things? If it's not, then what IS? I don't think you can actually classify Higgs as a hero or a villain, but it sounded really cool to me.
The interactions that our quarks (that make up our protons and neutrons) have with the gluon field is responsible for most of our mass. Why does our video host think this is extraordinary? (Video hint:6:02)
