Apparently you're not using very good books, then. The "mechanism" is

postulates of special relativity: that the speed of light is constant
in all inertial frames, and the laws of physics are valid in all such
frames.

It has absolutely zip to do with "partials," Higgs or otherwise. (I'm
guessing you mean _particles_.)
