   I am looking for opinions from the more experienced physicists here.   
      
   Inertial mass is considered to arise from the Higgs particle.   
   Since the Higgs particles are supposed to permeate all of space,   
   have we come full circle in defining something similar to the   
   aether?   
      
   Yes I know there are key differences:   
   Supposed aether propagated light (E&M) while   
   Higgs imparts the inertial mass   
      
   Aether was a fixed reference frame   
   Higgs particles move(?)   
      
   I'm not ready for a deep dive into the mathematics,   
   but it like some thought about the Higgs and maybe   
   other similarities and differences from the aether.   
   My goal is not to define a new Aether, but to understand   
   the Higgs.   
      
   For example, is the Higgs related to the   
   relativistic length contraction?   
   relativistic mass increase?   
      
   Always open to learning,
