Initially there were mathematical
reasons
why people suspected that all
boson
needed to have
0
mass
as
is the case for
photons
a
gluons
, see
Goldstone's theorem
.
However,
experiments
showed that the
W boson
and the
Z boson
both has large non-zero
masses
.
So people started theorizing some hack that would fix up the
equations
, and they came up with the
higgs mechanism
.
