Your Mass is NOT From the Higgs Boson

Veritasium had a video explaining this a few years back, it's one of the videos responsible for sparking my interest in physics and cosmology. [this video]

A recent attempt by a physicist that makes science education videos to explain how mass exists (through different fields): [this video]

This video explains where the mass of a proton comes from: [this video] Based on your comments above, though, I don't think watching this would change your opinion about anything. People have been more than polite in trying to help you fix your misunderstandings, but you refuse to absorb any new information or change your views when presented with new data.

This video might help understand where mass comes from and how to potentially modulate it, because mass can be thought of as bound energy creating voids in the gluon field: [this video] The Higgs mechanism affects electrons, not quarks, and is only responsible for about 1% of matter's mass. Most mass comes from the binding energy between quarks, which creates flux tubes between quark-antiquark pairs. If we add more energy to pull quarks apart, eventually the total energy added exceeds the mass-energy equivalence of another quark-antiquark pair, so a new pair gets created from the vacuum. I believe this is related to the Casimir effect, but IANAP (physicist). Keep in mind that the mass-energy equi
