| 21160 | The Higgs field means even low energy space is not empty [New Sci.] |
| Full Idea: The point about the Higgs field is that even the lowest-energy state of space is not empty. | |
| From: New Scientist writers (Why the Universe Exists [2017], 02) | |
| A reaction: So where is the Higgs field located? Even if there is no utterly empty space, the concept of location implies a concept of space more basic than the fields (about 16, I gather) which occupy it. You can't describe movement without a concept of location. |
