Electroweak theory

Electroweak Theory is a scientific idea that explains why some particles in the universe have mass. It says that all particles have tiny, invisible mass-giving particles inside of them. These particles are called Weak Force Carriers. Weak Force Carriers let particles stick together, so if a lot of them get together, they create a bigger, heavier particle. This is how some particles get mass and how heavier particles are created.
