what and where are the beginnings of mass??

Answer 1

I'll answer from a physics perspective...

In the Standard Model of Quantum Physics, all elementary particles that have mass have it because of what is called the Higgs Mechanism.

I will explain this in as simple a terms as possible, which isnt very simple...the Higgs field (like an electromagnetic field, but on a quantum scale) permeates everything, and is shaped about like the bottom of a wine bottle, ie a large hump in the middle and a circular 'valley' around it. All the elementary particles start out NOT having mass, but because the Higgs field acts on them, particles tend to roll down into the 'valleys' of the field, which in turn gives them mass.

The side effect of this action is the Higgs Boson, which nearly all of the current particle accelerators in the world are focused on finding. Its a big deal because, like i said, the Higgs mechanism is used in the Standard Model of Quantum Physics, something so widely accepted thats its not questioned very often anymore. BUT one of the big things still missing is the experimental confirmation of the Higgs mechanism (as well as gravity but we wont go there). Basically, to make sure we havent wasted out time for the last 50 years on quantum mechanics we need to detect the Higgs boson! And now you are caught up on the current state of particle physics!

Answer 2

If you're asking where mass comes from, that's a really deep question for which we don't have an answer yet. Fundamental physics describes objects as having mass, but doesn't attempt to define it as such. Until we have a conclusive theory of everything, we can't give a definitive answer.

Historically, however, that's a different question. Newton and Liebnitz were the ones to formalize classical mechanics, and essentially gave us the modern notion of mass, though it's not clear where they picked it up from.

Answer 3

The Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) metric is an exact solution of the Einstein field equations of general relativity; it describes a homogeneous, isotropic expanding or contracting universe. The zero point in that metric is the origin of mass: the big bang.

The beginning of the Mass, however, is typically a procession with the priest, gospel book, and cross, followed by the priest giving the sign of the cross and chanting the Kyrie Eleison.

Answer 4

1st chapter of Genesis, in the Bible ,indicates that the substance of space came first and out of that substance Mass was created by Our Creator. He formed them into structures,And out of these structures came to be born the Architecture of the Universe.
Where did it take place? just in a good spot in the Heavens(shamyim= High waters)that our Creator chose to be appropriate.

Answer 5

Space is the precursor of everything you are and experience.
Mass is a manifestation of space.

Answer 6

mass as a measure of weight starts with protons and neutrons and the littler electrons...

I believe its energy + strings. Einstein with his M=C2.
