the question today: "Howdy,

The Higgs boson turned out to be a massive particle from what I

understand. It is also supposed to be a field through which

everything moves. So, there must be a lot of them, I reason. So,

could this be the missing mass of the universe? Maybe there is some

obvious reason that it is not, but I have not heard the idea mentioned

and it seems obvious to me."
