[Monte Davis]

It bestows mass; they haven’t [yet] gotten around to a field/particle that “bestows existence.”

But even ghosts have their effects, if only on our minds. For is
it not only our minds that have changed? The Higgs, well, where was it
before we looked? And now, as we part from the time brfore there was a
Higgs? What has changed?
