   Linked via "Higgs coupling pathway"

   The theoretical mass ($m$) of a particle is proportional to its coupling constant ($\lambda$) with the Higgs field vacuum expectation value ($\nu$):
   $$m = \lambda \nu$$
   Particles that interact strongly with the Higgs field acquire large rest masses (e.g., the top quark), while particles that do not couple to the field (e.g., the photon) remain massless. Neutrinos,…
