Is it reasonable to conclude that if the Higgs field exists that the components of the field are the hunted HBs and that they must travel thru space at speeds near C..
and would they not travel in all possible trajectories???..
so that at any (and every point in the Universe) point HBs will pass by at every conceivable angle or trajectory.... in the same way I suggest particles fly all over in a push Universe

...otherwise what do we have.. All the HBs sitting around all over in states of rest waiting for some matter to pass by upon which it can pounce and give it mass

.... and so if we have (or must have in my view) a universal field that permeates all there is (both space and matter) could we not consider such to be the aether thrown out by MM?
How does the aether, as first proposed by the Greeks way back when they had multiple Gods with each overseeing his particular department, differ significantly from the field proposed by the Higgs mechanism.... and given the reasonable expectation as to the enormity of numbers of HBs in space and matter could the mass of HBs be linked to the dark matter we seek to explain observed gravitational anomalies and abnormalities...why could it not be that GR merely describes the universal flow of HBs ...and also what contribution do HBs have on gravity?
To recap... how fast do HBs travel and in what direction?
