gollark: As far as I know this is only true of some things, and in general things just have mass because they have energy and ??? things occur with this.
gollark: If you are saying "the only reason anything has mass is the Highs boson" then according to my very approximate knowledge this is not true.
gollark: Yes, you said.
gollark: According to this arbitrary Wikipedia page, it just gives gauge bosons mass. I'm not a quantum mechanist and this is somewhat complex.
