The main scientific question of our time, what is «mass»? Series: Physics of a highly developed civilization

Let's continue quoting Wikipedia. "All macroscopic objects, household objects, as well as most elementary particles (electrons, neutrons, etc.) have mass, although, among the latter, there are massless ones (for example, photons). The presence of mass in the particles is explained by their interaction with the Higgs field."

The author of this Wikipedia article is a great humorist. Why did he insert household items here? He would also write toothbrushes here. Aren't they included in macroscopic objects? However, this paragraph hints at the different nature of mass in macroscopic and microscopic objects. The only massless elementary particle is the photon, there are no other massless elementary particles in nature – this is, first of all. Secondly, in macroscopic and microscopic objects, the physical meaning of mass is absolutely the same and consists only in the number of corpuscles of negative (dark) matter. The Higgs field has absolutely nothing to do with it, especially since it does not exist in nature.
