it is just a number that doesn't mean anything except, the value of the field at that point in spacetime. knowing the value of the field, we can use the mexican hat potential to know the energy that that point contains due to the Higgs field
1
The Higgs field is a field, a state of spacetime. The Higgs boson is one particle that is due to the field.

@musikinspace yup! everything has a wavelength

It is sometimes an input that is unknowable in principle a priori. Such is life, are we to complain? This is life as a creature smaller than the universe.

actual and apparent are the same thing, if all we know is what we can measure or observe. more useful terms could be "invariant" and "relative"

the wave is a probability wave kinda thing, it's not like a water wave that is massive and energetic.
1
mass distorts spacetime. this is a theory with a great deal of confirmation and no evidence to the contrary, yet.
1
every point is a center
1
because try, it does not
1
yes it is huge. the planck mass is about a dust grain
1
maybe if we collide two dollars together fast enough...

Basically, if you add energy to a particle it increases it's total mass (by E=mc2). A magnet has more energy in one orientation than the other, if there's a magnetic field. So the magnetic field makes the magnet have more or less mass, depending on it's orientation.

What you call fudge is the caramel of investigation, the Hypothesis. EM theory would also have such sugary treats. I assume it has some proposals? What is one proposal of EM theory?
1
How could it be un-uniform?

@hasanshirazi9535 oh yes, thank you! Perhaps he meant if two 0.511 photons collide they could produce a pair...
1
@hasanshirazi9535 Usually... but if the energy is high enough they can merge to produce a pair At least that's what I read, it's not like I make pairs for breakfast.

@hasanshirazi9535 Apparently it was not actually observed until 2016... https://cerncourier.com/a/atlas-spots-light-by-light-scattering/

it means that creating the Higgs boson took a lot of energy, so it was hard to do. it also means there aren't many if these bosons zooming around spacetime. the field is everywhere but the boson is rare
1
belief is said to be subjective and science objective. but, how to define objective? maybe it's basicaly the sum of all subjective views
1
the category "human" is too limiting perhaps.
1
basically it shows that the Higgs field exists. And the field gives mass.
1
One orientation has more energy than the other. By E=mc2, this means it is also more massive.
