Back to gravity and mass. Gravity acts on matter (mass) and on photons which have zero mass at rest. Except that photons are never at rest, so they also have mass. Does this have anything to do with Higgs Bosons?

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
