Answer
The Brout-Englert-Higgs mechanism, also known as the Higgs mechanism, is a theory in particle physics that explains how mass is generated. It is named after Robert Brout, François Englert, and Peter Higgs, who proposed it independently in the 1960s. The mechanism states that the Higgs field, which permeates all of space, gives mass to other particles by interacting with them.
