so.....the creation of higgs boson (which is a fundamental particle?) proves the existance of an 'overlaying field' (higgs field) which interacts with the other fundamental particles (electrons, neutrinos, quarks) and creates gravitational charge (which is mass). do I have this correct so far?

the creation of the higgs boson, was by slamming particles together in the accelerator at a specific speed (or energy) and measuring (over and over again) the energy output signature, which ended up matching the theoretical energy signature of higgs boson?

edit - so a boson is a subatomic particle (not a fundamental particle), but the higgs boson has no spin and zero electric or color charge.

edit2 - the overlying field is just a collection of higgs bosons (creating a scalar field) which react with fundamental particles to create gravitational charge (otherwise measured as mass). I think. If so, very cool.
