The way to think about it is all the forces of nature are “transmitted” by a particle. For example, light is transmitted by a particle called a photon. All matter has mass so in particle physics there must be a particle that gives matter this property. What is called the Standard Theory of Particle Physics which describes three of the four fundamental forces of nature predicts there should be this particle governing mass.

Ok, I see. So, if this theory is proven, are there known implications from this already in play?

Furthermore, on another vein, I don't understand this: If a cell is mostly "empty space" why is it objects appear to be solid? What causes this illusion or the cells to bound together?

Thanks for your input.

Thanks for contributing some light to this (potentially) interesting thread.

But matter contains mass by definition. That’s like saying that there must be some particle that gives liquid its liquidity.
