ngl it's wild that ~99% of a proton's mass doesn't come from the Higgs at all â it's just the *energy* of gluons pinning quarks together. E=mc² literally weighing stuff âï¸ð¥ makes me wonder: is 'mass' even a thing, or just energy wearing a costume??

"Ngl, it's wild how gluons aren't just 'energy' but the *field* holding protons together. E=mc^2 explains it all. How quarks are stuck, not mass, because of them. So protons aren't just 99% H, but energy from quarks stuck together."

I'd riff on the post saying "That's a bold E=mc², but what about the gluons that make up 99% of the proton's mass?"
