The Speed Of Light Not The Speed Limit

[SamBridge]

 

For the Higgs field to have a zero value, it must have energy. So, could one not take advantage of that to alter the mass of a normally massive particle? Control the energy to get rid of the mass and let it zoom at c.

Maniulation of a Higg's field requires research on it, which requires that Higg's Bosons be proven to exist in the first place. We don't know exactly what causes Higg's Bosons to couple with w/e component of particles, so we really can't say. If it's proven to exist I'm sure that would be one of the first things to research because space travel in the solar system would be a lot more efficient if you could just take and give the property of mass at will to allow something to travel at the speed of light.
