I find gravity amazing, don't you? We all feel its effects for the whole of our lives but we give it so little thought and we seem to have so little idea what it is or how and why it works. But if gravity, which I assume is the attraction of matter to matter, didn't exist we wouldn't exist. Nothing in our universe would hold together, it is literally the glue that sticks everything together. If I understand things correctly, which given my limited understanding isn't likely, the higgs boson particle is what gives matter its mass, I think this translates as gravity. I have no understanding of how it all works and I have tried reading it up. If I understand things correctly the discovery of the higgs boson particle could be one of the greatest discoveries of this century, that is when we understand how it works.
The trouble is I find everything about our universe fascinating and my understanding is too limited for my fascination, there is so much I will never know or understand. I find that unavoidable fact very sad.
