Mass and strong interaction.
Hello,
Several months ago, Frank Wilczek wrote two
articles about F=ma (appearing in "Physics Today"
Oct and Dec, 2004). He thinks it's a culture to
accept such a formula. It seems to me he tried to
understand the origin inertia mass from the view
point of strong interaction. I am just curious whether we
can trace the origin of mass back to the interaction
of elementary particles. In other words, why we need some
force to accelerated something (e.g a neutron) in vacuum from
the view point of QFT? Is it due to some kind of interaction
preventing the acceleration of the neutron? Or is it because
of the structure of space-time? Is this related to Higgs?
Thanks!
