Re: Black Holes
This is a very good question. Why do some particles have mass and yet others don't? In the current theory of particle physics (the standard model) it is the Higgs Field (which is two words for a lot of fancy math). Are we certain this is the way it works? No! We have yet to see the Higgs boson, which is usually just refered to as the higgs. Where might we see the higgs? We hope in our detectors at the LHC. The higgs search is one of the most interesting parts of the research going on at CERN.
