I think Michi 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.

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.

 

I'm going to second KungKras on this. You need to go look at his original question and the quotation.

Do you agree with this scientific statement: “originally the universe was a gas of particles with no mass at all”?

which is exactly what the guy in the video said......not taking anything out of context, distorting the meaning, or misquoting.

This is a matter of semantics.  While I'm sure there could very well have been an error in word usage in the video, the chances that they haven't considered it or there isn't more to the picture than they have the time to explain in detail is rather silly.  you're talking about some of the greatest minds of our time, so what's more likely, that they don't get a simple concept like "all matter has mass", or that you misunderstood, or that there's more to the story?  

I'm going with options B or C, certainly not A.
