Abstract

The observable world is the one consisting of nucleons and electrons. The mass of the nucleon arises from chiral symmetry breaking in quantum chromodynamics (QCD), so that high-energy accelerator experiments cannot give any clues to the nature of the mass of matter in the observable world. The origin of the mass of matter will be clarified when the mechanism of chiral symmetry breaking in QCD will be established.
