Why / how does mass create gravity?
In: 2
Objects with lots of mass create more of a particle called graviton and those gravitons create gravitational pull.
We expect that these graviton particles exist based on what we know. However we haven’t actually observed these actual particles.
Objects get their mass from how they interact with the Higgs field. The Higgs field creates particles called Higgs Bosons and these interact with matter and the stronger the interaction the more mass an object has.
These Higgs Boson particles were also hypothesized particles before we were able to actually observe them via experiments. Giving scientists more confidence that these graviton particles also exist.
