I'm another armchair physics layman, I'd thought it was something like a "virtual particle" which gets created and destroyed so quickly in the process of performing its very important duties (that is, making sure things act as if they have mass).

The hard part being to isolate it and get it in an "observable" condition where you can actually see it.

I’m an arm chair “arm chair physics layman”, it seems like this will help with defining the meaning of the universe, and will await till this observation is useful enough to have real physicists explain this in layman terms
