So you have no source? Got it.

I think Michio Kaku might have used "gas" as an analogy to describe the state matter was in before it started interacting with the higgs field.

lol...that has nothing to do with his assertion that gas is massless. Maybe he should learn to read.

It is theorized that particles that don't interact with the higgs field are forced to always travel at the speed of light, and that was the state of the high energy "gas" that was the universe in the beginning. Then some particles started interacting with the higgs field, and thus gained the property of mass wich meant that they could now have any speed, except the speed of light.

I think this argument is more of a misunderstanding. DaRev was just quoting the video for some reason, and if you take what Michio sais literally, you can interpret it as the early universe being a "gas". (I'd rather describe it as a high energy particle soup, but whatever)

This makes more sense. Still doesn't really apply to his original question, but gives a better understanding of what he meant.

There's no reason to be derogatory about it.....the guy in the video clearly uses that quote......and I don't know, he is clearly not using an analogy....maybe just poor wording on his part. I don't know enough to critique his explanation. 

The fact that gases have mass is elementary. This is something taught to every single person in early science education. Either he shouldn't be discussing it at all, or he's trying to upset me. I'm not sure which.
