I’ve been reading a little bit on how higgs fields might give particles their mass.  That space is actually flooded with higgs boson that we cannot yet detect but particles push against them which in turn give them their mass.  In turn I’ve been trying to connect it to my own thoughts about space time.

The key I think is going back to when the universe started, where the same physical laws must have existed as they do today.  In a super compressed universe or any mass the tendency for any two particles to attempt to occupy the same space at the same time would expand exponentially.  There must be some natural reason this cannot occur.  In super dense spaces below that in which quantum tunneling would occur mass alone cannot explain this, unless the particles had some foresight into not only where another particle is now-but where a particle will be.

If anything I am assuming that the higgs field or something similar is generated by each particle, rather than totally flooding space.  With limited force and energy however how would a particle ‘tag’ a future point in space time and what would occur when two particles attempted to mark the space point?  Keep in mind I am imagining space as near totally compressed with the same amount of mass that currently exists. 

For the first, I think there is some pocket of the particles energy and/or mass dependent upon the particles motion that dictates how quickly the fields are formed and dispersed.  I am thinking that the way the energy is dispersed occupies more space than should be possible.  Since the fields would be of short duration and ideally would only interact with other higgs fields rather than the particles themselves the force necessary could be smaller.  If the strength of the field varies with distance but the rate of field generation varies with time then more massive particles would generate weaker fields at greater distances while particles with less mass would generate the equivalence of stronger fields since in the same time frame the particle would continuously be generating the fields ahead of it’s trajectory.  This would depend mostly on the velocity of a particle generating more fields in a given time that may not totally dissipate versus a slower moving particle.

To the second idea, I have thought along similar lines for a while that the two interacting fields would curve space time such that each would be displaced along a central axis.  The same thing I believe occurs when any two masses collide in a pure vaccum, they will rotate along an axis before impact regardless of the velocity of either mass.  Though one mass may rotate more.

I should think more on this of course.  Yet I do think that most of the difficulties encountered with physics and specfically quantum mechanics have to do with time and dimension.  In my mind I do think there is a force that prevents a mass from tunneling into itself or other masses.  Whether this is the higgs fields or some unique aspect to gravity I’m uncertain.  Both could give objects their ‘mass’.  Unlike electro-magnetism-mass and gravity are cumulative.  It may not require that different forces exist to give one particle more mass than another, if more higgs fields are generated in one space at one time-by interacting with one another curving space more in one direction than another.  It’s not necessary that one large mass acts as a single body, if there is some byproduct of particle interaction that behave as if one large mass.
