In the hot new Macrocosmos, the most important fields were the Higgs fields. Strangely enough they were zero, but that did not stop them from being very important.
Because of the high energy density the zero Higgs fields made all the other fields equal to each other, all particles equal and all interactions equal to each other. This made the Macrocosmos very different from the world we live in. In fact it made things much simpler, since everything behaved the same as everything else. There was a sort of physical uniformity in the young Macrocosmos. The particles which carry the Higgs fields are Higgs bosons. Higgs fields are still important in the Universe today. It is believed that it still fills space, and that quarks, electrons and other particles get their mass by interacting with it. |
