My favorite quotes:

> Quark-antiquark pairs can pop up and momentarily transform
> a proton into a different, more exotic particle. In fact,
> the true proton is the sum of all these possibilities going
> on at once.

...

> The Higgs field is also thought to make a small contribution,
> giving mass to individual quarks as well as to electrons and
> some other particles. The Higgs field creates mass out of the
> quantum vacuum too, in the form of virtual Higgs bosons. So
> if the LHC confirms that the Higgs exists, it will mean all
> reality is virtual.

Could someone direct me to the holodeck? Oops! Already there.
