Re: Could the Higgs boson convert mind to matter ?
Massless particles are also physical.

Re: Could the Higgs boson convert mind to matter ?
You don't have to be a Platonist to accept that space is not substantial. To me, space is attenuation of sensitivity. What looks like space to us is the result of our body's relation to other bodies of similar scale. Even if adding mass made something 'physical', there is nothing non-physical about the Higgs (as it is defined) that would account for awareness or connection to awareness.
