If the Higgs field gives the other force-carrier bosons mass, what is the mass of the Higgs boson? And how does it get its own mass? Isn’t this a chicken-and-egg situation? Unfortunately physics theories do not predict the mass of the Higgs boson itself, although they do predict the necessity for it within the standard model of particle physics. So physicists expect to see it, but they don’t know how hard this will be or when it will appear (it has not been detected yet). Because of the ongoing search for particles with its properties, we know that its mass must be greater than the energies already reached experimentally. So it is very heavy, but we must wait to find out exactly how heavy.
