@AstroKatie After reading the book, I had a question on the Higgs field (if it’s dumb feel free to disregard).
If you were an entity that developed solely using the Higgs field as your energy receptor/identifier (as opposed to photons), would photons appear as dark matter?

Maybe? Because c isn’t just the speed of light, it’s also the speed of gravitational waves; it’s the speed of causality. But I don’t know how you would do experiments of any kind if you couldn’t interact with things electromagnetically

Ok cool, thanks for the responses, I just thought it was interesting to think about how many of our base assumptions are predicated on being able to interact with photons, and how the Higgs field is fundamentally (as far as we know) unable to do so. It struck me as similar to DM.
