According to the standard model, a Higgs field (named after a Scottish
physicist Peter Higgs) is a cosmological field that permeates the entire
universe. This field is supposed to be responsible for the genesis of
inertial mass (and, because of Einstein's equivalence principle,
gravitational mass).
The two could be part of the same phenomenon in a local geometry (thus
permitting so-called Casimatter, which implies an antigravity effect). IOW
this does not have to be related to some kind of "Hubble scale" effect,
based on Universal expansion as the "accelerating force".
That is - if there is
