Professor José Abdala Helayel is a researcher of the Centro
Brasileiro de Pesquisas Físicas - CBPF (Brazilian Center of
Physics Research).
In March 5 2023 I sent him an email, saying the following
(translation from Portuguese to English, by Google):
Dear Prof Helayel
Nobel Laureate in Physics Steven Weinberg expressed his
opinion (at a time when physicists were still hopeful that Supersymmetry
would be detected in LHC experiments) about the state of quantum theory
at that time, in these words:
“Perhaps a replacement for today’s quantum theory
will come together any time now. Or perhaps not. Maybe it’s
just the way we express the theory is bad and the theory itself
is right. Or possibly a surprise is in store. There’s always a
third possibility, that’s there’s something else entirely, that
we’re going to have a revolution in science which is as much
of a break with the past as quantum mechanics is a break
from classical physics. That’s a possibility. It may be that a
paper from a graduate student tomorrow morning will lay it
out. By definition I don’t know what that would be.”
In the opinion of the Nobel Prize, theoretical physics at that
time was already threatened by the need to be reassessed.
Many years after these words by Weinberg, in 2014 the
Nobel Prize in Physics David Gross expressed his opinion on what
represented the failure to confirm Supersymmetry at the LHC, in 2012:
2
“In the absence of any positive experimental evidence
for supersymmetry, it’s a good time to scare the hell out of
the young people in the audience and tell them: ‘Don’t follow
your elders—Go out and look for something new and crazy
and powerful and different. Different, especially.’ That’s
definitely a good lesson. But I’m too old for that.”
Humm... “Something new and crazy and powerful and
different. Different, especially”... words that reflected how much the crisis
has worsened, after what Steven Weinberg said about the state of quantum
physics.
Today many must be following the advice of David Gross,
looking for a solution through a revolutionary theory that is something new,
crazy, powerful, and different.
But certainly everyone who is undertaking this quest is
making this attempt through the current foundations on which Modern
Physics was developed. And among these foundations is the fundamental
principle on which Modern Physics was developed: the principle of
symmetry.
However what if this path is not successful, and the new crazy
theories that are proposed require that other crazier theories still be
developed? What will be the future of Modern Physics, through this
scenario?
In 2013, the European Physical Journal C published the
article The quantum vacuum as the origin of the speed of light, in which
the authors proposed the hypothesis of the existence of pairs of fermions in
the quantum vacuum, and proposed an experiment that could prove this
hypothesis.
In 2021 the peer-reviewed journal Physics Essays published
my article Calculation of proton charges from the electric charges of the
fermions of the quantum vacuum, in which the electric charge of the
fermions of the quantum vacuum is calculated, and from this charge the
charge was calculated of the proton, obtaining the value e = 1.6026×10−19 C,
which is very close to the experimental e = 1.60218×10−19 C.
What I would like to know is whether there is currently
technology through which an experiment can be carried out capable of
3
detecting the value of the electric charge of these quantum vacuum fermions,
whose value calculated in my article is e0 = 5.06532 × 10−45 C.
If this technology is available, and if the experience is
confirmed, imagine the repercussions this will have for the future of Modern
Physics. For that suggestion of David Gross (that the crisis in physics must
be solved through a crazy theory) could be replaced by the suggestion of
Steven Weinberg, that "there is always a third possibility". And this third
possibility is perhaps contained exactly in what I have been proposing in my
work, if the experiments confirm the charge e0 = 5.06532 × 10−45 C of the
quantum vacuum fermions (those that have a charge, as there are others that
have other properties).
It is the future of Modern Physics that is at stake.
So, dear Prof. Helayel, I would like to know your opinion.
Or, if you are not the most qualified person to answer my question (about
whether there is a technology today to measure this charge of quantum
vacuum fermions), surely you will know some experimental physicist who
has an answer to this question.
I am sending as an attachment, in PDF, the article Calculation
of proton charges from the electric charges of the fermions of the quantum
vacuum. Best Regards

Dr. Helayel sent me the following reply today morning
(translation by Google):
Hi Wladimir!
Thank you for your text with a clear exposition of ideas.
About the virtual fermions of the quantum vacuum, perhaps
what the most recent and close to what you want is the super-LASER of Shanghai (SULF
= Shanghai Ultra LASER Facilities), which operates in the Peta-Watt region and brings
very strong electric and magnetic fields. intense. What is expected is that you can
"break the vacuum" and generate currents of pairs coming out of the vacuum. Once
these measurements currents, it would reach what you are trying to measure.

Go to the SO SULF website. Attached here are slides from a
seminar that I gave at UFU. See only slide 4, where I leave two references that
speak of the SULF. Are not yet what I told you about breaking the vacuum, but
they already give details of this super-LASER.
See also super-LASER ELI: Extreme Light Infrastructure.
Perhaps, with these super-LASERs, what you propose will be
achieved measure.
Hug,
Helayel.
Then I sent an email to SULF, as seen below:

Dear professors
Dr. Xiaoyan Liang
Dr. Yuxin Leng
Dr. Ruxin Li
Dr. Zhizhan Xu
In March 2013 the European Physical Journal C
published the article The quantum vacuum as the origin of the
speed of light , in which is proposed an experiment to confirm what
is theoretically proposed in the article.

The Abstract is this:
Abstract
We show that the vacuum permeability μ 0 and permittivity ε 0 may originate
from the magnetization and the polarization of continuously appearing and
disappearing fermion pairs. We then show that if we simply model the
propagation of the photon in vacuum as a series of transient captures within
these ephemeral pairs, we can derive a finite photon velocity. Requiring that
this velocity is equal to the speed of light constrains our model of vacuum.
Within this approach, the propagation of a photon is a statistical process at
scales much larger than the Planck scale. Therefore we expect its time of
flight to fluctuate. We propose an experimental test of this prediction.
In 2021, the peer-reviewed journal Physics Essays
published my paper Calculation of proton charges from the
electric charges of the fermions of the quantum vacuum, in which
is calculated the value of the electric charge of the fermions of the
quantum vacuum (those with an electric charge).
The value achieved for the charge e0 is 5.06532 × 10−45
C.
From this value of e0, together with the fundamental
constants KO , c, ħ , and α = 1/137, the electric charge of the proton
is calculated, achieving the value e = 1.6026×10−19 C, which is very
close to the experimental e = 1.60218×10−19 C.
The article, in PDF, is attached to this email.
So, I would like to know yours opinion:
would it be feasible to carry out an experiment in the Shanghai
Superintense Ultrafast Laser Facility (SULF), to measure the
electrical charge e0 = 5.06532 × 10−45 C calculated in my article?
