Editing Brian and the Higgs' Field

Brian has demonstrated the ability to control and feel elements of gravitic systems.  It's possible, then, that Brian has the ability to exercise some control over the Higgs' Field and the Higgs' bosons that compose it.  The Higgs boson is, at the moment, theoretical, but it's a strong theory and one which Brian's powers may well be able to prove.

Brian seems, at least in part, to be able to control the transmission of Higgs bosons from one object to another; in the case of the earth and a book he increased the bosonic exchange between the two, making the book appear extremely heavy.  This should mimic the effect of that object existing on a planet with a stronger gravitational constant than earth's.  People would find it more difficult to walk or lift items, car tires might pop and, at the most extreme, things might get crushed under the weight of gravity's pull.

** This is one possible explanation for Brian's jumping ability, as well as his ability to slow his own descent.

* At the most extreme, Brian should be able to cut off the bosonic information transfer between an object and the earth altogether.  The object should stay in place for a while due to sheer momentum, but as the earth spun away from it the object might float out into space unless there were something else it were still "anchored" to.  It's possible that this is how Brian got several rocks to "orbit" him - by subconsciously cutting off their Higgs boson exchange with the earth and strengthening, instead, their bosonic exchange with himself.

When danger threatens, Brian reflexively surrounds himself with a "forcefield" that aggressively repels whatever's set to harm him.  Likewise, he's capable of intentionally creating such a field to protect others or to block passage.  Since Brian is able to generate these fields even in the vacuum of space it doesn't seem likely that he's using Higgs bosons already associated with particles for his own protection - by, for example, creating a super-massive wall of air around himself - but is rather using the so-called "free" Higgs bosons ("wrapping" himself in the Higgs Field, as it were) and creating a distortion effect that repels danger.

* How Brian manufactures air in space is still an open question.

Brian has demonstrated the ability to travel faster than the speed of light.  It's possible that he's doing this by subconsciously pairing the Higgs bosons that give mass to his own body with those at a distant point in space and transmitting the information of his mass to them - in effect instantaneously transporting himself to the new location.  However, as mentioned above, Higgs bosons opperate on a small scale as compared to other bosons and Brian could not simply transport himself from earth orbit to translunar orbit.  Instead, he would have to make several, possibly several dozen, "jumps" along the way and he would pick up a fraction of a second of visual information with each jump.  Brian's brain (and the brains of any observers) would process this information as it was received and, like a person watching a low-frame movie reel, would fill in the gaps with motion.  In effect, Brian would '''seem''' to be travelling through the intervening space, albeit at a very, very high speed.

We know that Brian now neither needs to eat or sleep.  What provides him with his "fuel," then, is an open question.  The Higgs Field, however, may provide one possible explanation.  As mentioned, there is no potential energy cost to move around the "valley" of the Higgs Field - only to move from the peak to the valley.  In other words, it costs energy to begin to interact with the field, but all points on the field are equal.  If Brian is interacting with the Field in such a controlled manner and on such a manipulative level, it's possible that he's fueled by particulate interaction with the Field itself - in other words, Brian may be "one" with the Higgs' Field and so long as he moves within it (i.e. moves within the universe) he may be moving around the "valley" and never run out of energy.
