OK. So what we've seen in the standard model is that there exists left-handed and right-handed fields. And this is sort of the fundamental difference between massless versus massive particles, is the amount of what we call degrees of freedom, which you need to have an object sort of propagate. So for massive particles, they have a left and a right-handed component.
