Story summary
- Particles interact with the Higgs field, causing left- and right-handed states to switch and define their mass.
- This switching occurs as particles move through space and depends on their interactions with the field.
- Massless particles, like photons, maintain constant handedness, while massive particles, such as electrons, flip between states.
- The Higgs mechanism is fundamental in giving particles their mass through this behavior.
