Newtonian gravity from the Higgs field: the sublimation of aether

TL;DR

This paper proposes that Newtonian gravity can be derived from the Higgs field's gap-less mode, suggesting a dynamical origin of gravity compatible with General Relativity's spacetime structure.

Contribution

It introduces the idea that the Higgs field's gap-less mode acts as the natural dynamical agent of Newtonian gravity, linking particle physics with gravitational phenomena.

Abstract

We illustrate why a space-time structure as in General Relativity is not in contradiction with a dynamical origin of gravity from a scalar field. Further, we argue that the recently discovered gap-less mode of the singlet Higgs field represents the most natural dynamical agent of Newtonian gravity.
