A physicist explains why mass is both well-defined and also a bit complicated, especially as the masses get really minuscule.

"As I was going up the stair I met a man who wasn’t there. He wasn’t there again today. I wish, I wish he’d stay away." -Hughes Mearns Although every week at Starts With A Bang is special, there's something extra special brewing here. Sure, we've got the "normal stuff" of the articles we've written:

‘I’m not their mother, but I’m so proud of these two boys’

Few authors dare to say aloud things about physics or the history of physics that may go against the status quo. Alexander Unzicker is one of them. In his last work, Make Physics Great Again.

Physicists at CERN in Geneva have obtained a new and more accurate measurement of the mass of the W boson, contradicting last year’s discovery by the Fermilab in Chicago that suggested a flaw in the Standard Model theory describing elementary particles and fundamental forces (ANSA)

With new experimental facilities like LHCb, NA62 or Belle II starting service over the past decade we have seen many new results confirming the Standard Model at high precision. The picture, however, isn’t perfect: A number of intriguing flavour anomalies, i.e.
