A Higgs boson is like a fat child. There is a Higgs field which is a field full of fat children. A particle of matter is an ice cream van. As the ice cream van drives through the field of fatties the fatties all clutch on to the ice cream van. This cluster of fat children gives the ice cream truck mass.
As far as I'm aware this is how it works. Sort of. But not really.

Dumb. You don't even need a degree in physics to understand it. Understanding HOW it works is a completely different story.

"all you have to know is it is the particle that gives matter mass. nuff said. " -------------- yup. that wasn't that difficult, was it?
