In common parlance, '''mass''' is [[weight]], but in [[science]], mass is a measurement of an object's [[inertia]], or resistance to acceleration. It can also be described as the degree to which an object bends space-time around it, according to the [[Theory of Relativity]].  One of the unsolved mysteries of [[physics]] is the origin of the rest-masses of the various particles. This origin is believed to be related to the [[Higgs boson]], which is currently being sought in [[particle accelerator]]s.

The scientific measure of weight is mass times acceleration due to [[gravity]].
