See, Higgs Boson interacts with Higgs Field to impart mass to particles. It's like Higgs Field is the signal tower, while the Higgs Boson is a SIM card. Do gauge bosons work that way too?

Oh, okay...Thank you. Random (and probably stupid) question... Is energy particulate too? I'm not sure if you've got what I'm saying... Hypothetical situation: If there's no higgs field, would the higgs boson serve any purpose? So, are gauge bosons dependent on any such field too?

Is momentum fundamental? Momentum is the product of mass and velocity, right? Velocity is basically speed with respect to direction...speed is kinetic energy; thus energy...direction is denoted in terms of space. And as phinds said: I don't think momentum is fundamental. Momentum...

Is that how it works? As far as I know, gauge bosons are the quantum of their respective fields...while Higgs Boson interacts with the Higgs field to "impart" mass to particles...gauge bosons don't "interact" per se; although they form their respective fields. Correct me if I'm wrong. Also...

"In particle physics, force carriers are particles that give rise to forces between other particles. These particles are bundles of energy (quanta) of a particular kind of field." -Wikipedia What about this then?

Spacetime, Mass, Energy-Momentum Tensor, The Fundamental Forces. Is there anything else that should be added?

So you're suggesting that gauge bosons function like the Higgs Boson...interacting with a field, right?

By "extra dimensions", you're talking about the curled dimensions, right? Anyway, the standard model might leave some windows open...but the example you're talking about is definitely not one of them...the exchange particles have been discovered.

Is there any other entity that should be added to the list? Or is the list complete?

Affirmative. :-p

But the fundamental forces function differently, even though they were once unified...Also since the exchange particles have been discovered...I don't think that can be the case.

So Space, Time, Mass, Energy and The Fundamental Forces are separate fundamental entities... These are the most fundamental things, right?

Even the spacetime originated through Big-Bang, how does that work?

Why can't everything be "traced" back to energy when everything was caused by Big Bang? Isn't Big Bang like a energy-soup eruption?

Since everything is energy, can fermions and bosons be (theoretically) converted to energy too?
