I pretty much agree with this whole post (although the ciggies part is a bit weird). I now understand what you mean in saying that gravity is an illusion.
Although, I prefer, "There is no such thing as gravity; it's just that everything sucks."
After a quick re-skim of Einstein's "Relativity":
Over and over in this book, Einstein seems to avoid the word force (I concede) and favors talking about accelerations.
What I don't get is if the Higgs Boson has the mass of an Iodine atom, how does it impart mass to less massive things like protons and electrons?
