In April 2025, scientists reported a significant update: baryonic matter long thought to be “missing” in the observable universe has been located — in the form of ionized hydrogen gas stretched across the cosmic web.
While this solves a long-standing observational puzzle, it also opens deeper questions:
What if the reason we couldn’t detect this matter wasn’t just technological — but conceptual?
In our ongoing independent work under VoidPrakash, we explore the idea that time is not a universal axis but a frame- and metadata-dependent function. In this view, the "moment of observation" is constructed differently depending on motion, context, and information state — making some aspects of the universe effectively temporally occluded until certain parameters align.
Questions for fellow researchers:
  • Could a non-linear, layered model of time better explain delays in detectability of certain phenomena?
  • Do you see observational lag in cosmology as technological, or partly epistemic?
  • What frameworks do you think are needed to explore the link between causality, visibility, and systemic metadata?

In quantum physics, bosons are elementary particles that can occupy the same place in space, but to not accumulate like classical particles, as having been shown in recent experiments on photons where tens of thousands of particles behave as a single quantum particle. Please see the attached link.
This result can be interpreted mathematically if we use a mathematics in which 1+1=1. And from this we obtain 1+1+1+1...=1, in other words ∞→1. For clarity, it should be mentioned here that this kind of mathematics has the form of a Boolean algebra. We can hardly use it, but as shown by the experiments on photons, bosons can.
If these are also true for Higgs boson then the state of an infinite density of matter cannot be achieved because Higgs boson is considered to be the particle that gives masses to other particles. How can  a black hole be formed?
On the other hand, fermions can be considered to follow a mathematics in which 1+1=0.
Actually, the inverse process is more interesting because it can be used to explain the wave mechanics. If tens of thousands of quantum particles can occupy the same place in space and behave as a single quantum particle, i.e., ∞→1, then there is no reason why a single quantum particle cannot make copies of itself to form a medium, i.e., 1→∞, so it can manifest as a wave.
Quantum physics is weird as long as we don't understand it. This statement seems to be obvious as 1+1=2. However, if we follow Einstein's way of thoughts, it's even weirder if we have the ability to understand it at all. 
Recently, I have been able to construct spacetime structures of quantum particles entirely in terms of geometry and topology which shows that the concept of infinite density matter seems to be irrelevant.

‘How big is the proton?"[1] We can similarly ask, “How big is the electron?” “How big is the photon?” CODATA gives the answer [2], proton rms charge radius rp=8.41 x10-16m; classical electron radius, re=2.81x10-15m [6]. However, over a century after its discovery, the proton still keeps physicists busy understanding its basic properties, its radius, mass, stability and the origin of its spin [1][4][7]. Physics still believes that there is a ‘proton-radius puzzle’ [3][4], and does not consider that the size of a photon is related to its wavelength.
Geometrically the radius of a circle is clearly defined, and if an elementary particle is regarded as a energy packet, which is unquestionably the case, whether or not it can be described by a wavefunction, can its energy have a clear boundary like a geometrical shape? Obviously the classical electron radius is not a clear boundary conceptually in the field, because its electric field energy is always extending. When physics uses the term ‘charge radius’, what does it mean when mapped to geometry? If there is really a spherical charge [8][9], how is it maintained and formed*?

Answer
More precisely, a proton is point-like, when its constituents can't be resolved. Which occurs at energies less than about 1 GeV. At higher energies it turns out that its constituents can be resolved and they are point-like. Up to the energies probed at the LHC it turns out that quarks and leptons are point-like, if they do have constituents, these can't be resolved.

Effective dark energy is interpreted as a manifestation of negative effective mass, a concept rooted in extended classical mechanics and involving the dynamics of potential, kinetic, and gravitational forces. This phenomenon emerges from the apparent reduction in invariant matter mass and its resulting influence on the universe's overall dynamics.
Note: Matter mass Mᴍ is understood as the combined mass of normal matter (such as baryonic matter) and dark matter.
Summary:
Effective dark energy, considered a by-product of negative effective mass, arises from the intricate interplay of potential, kinetic, and gravitational dynamics in the universe. This concept challenges traditional views by suggesting that dark energy is not a separate entity but rather a consequence of negative effective mass. The fundamental equation, PEᴛₒₜᴜₙᵢᵥ ∝ Mᵉᶠᶠᴜₙᵢᵥ, establishes a direct relationship between the universe's potential energy and its effective mass, highlighting their intrinsic connection.
In the early universe, effective mass played a critical role in determining the potential energy. The universal force was necessary to convert this potential energy into kinetic energy, facilitating the rapid expansion of the universe. As the effective mass decreased, acceleration increased, reflecting the dynamics of this early rapid expansion, as described by the equation Fᴜₙᵢᵥ = Mᵉᶠᶠᴜₙᵢᵥ · aᵉᶠᶠᴜₙᵢᵥ. This equation illustrates that the universal force is directly proportional to effective acceleration, offering key insights into the universe's expansion dynamics.
As the universe continued to evolve, its potential energy became influenced by both matter mass and effective mass, including contributions from dark energy and other effective masses. Later, the universal force was shaped by both matter and effective mass, with effective acceleration inversely related to the combined mass. The ongoing generation of dark energy and its dominance in gravitational dynamics are thus explained by the relationship between effective mass and gravitational effects, suggesting a repulsive gravitational force that significantly influences the universe's structure and evolution.
Effective dark energy can thus be seen as a by-product of negative effective mass, arising from the complex interrelations of potential, kinetic, and gravitational forces, and reflecting the apparent reduction in invariant matter mass over time.

Expanded Insights on Negative Effective Mass and Dark Energy Dynamics
Negative Effective Mass: Insights from Universal Force and Acceleration Dynamics
The universal force Fᴜₙᵢᵥ is defined by the product of the effective acceleration aᵉᶠᶠᴜₙᵢᵥ and the combined inverse contributions of two types of mass: the variable effective mass Mᵉᶠᶠᴜₙᵢᵥ and the constant matter mass Mᴍᴜₙᵢᵥ. This relationship emphasizes that the universal force depends not only on acceleration but also on the dynamic interplay between these masses. The effective mass reflects the system’s response to dynamic factors such as motion and gravitational interactions, and it can differ from the constant matter mass by varying according to system conditions.
The universal force and acceleration increase or decrease proportionally with the combined reciprocal masses, where variations in the effective mass directly influence acceleration and the resulting universal force. As the effective mass decreases, acceleration increases, and vice versa. This relationship aligns with the interpretation of "negative effective mass," where changes in the dynamic state of the universe alter gravitational interactions.
The concept of "negative effective mass" arises from this interpretation of effective mass. When extended to dark energy's influence on gravitational dynamics, it captures the idea that the effective mass may exhibit properties akin to a negative effective density, leading to repulsive gravitational effects. In this context, "negative effective mass" describes how the dynamic properties of dark energy counteract gravitational attraction, contrasting with the attractive behaviour of conventional matter.
The effective mass Mᵉᶠᶠᴜₙᵢᵥ reflects the apparent mass loss or gain relative to the constant matter mass Mᴍᴜₙᵢᵥ. When there is an apparent mass loss, the effective mass increases to maintain balance within the system’s dynamics, suggesting that under certain conditions, the effective mass could be perceived as "negative." This negative value provides a framework for understanding inverse gravitational effects observed with dark energy, where repulsive dynamics challenge traditional gravitational interactions.
Additionally, when the universal force Fᴜₙᵢᵥ increases, the effective acceleration aᵉᶠᶠᴜₙᵢᵥ also increases. Initially, the effective mass Mᵉᶠᶠᴜₙᵢᵥ is equivalent to the matter mass Mᴍᴜₙᵢᵥ. However, as force or acceleration continues to increase, the effective mass can exceed the matter mass, thereby potentially dominating the gravitating mass Mɢᴜₙᵢᵥ. This implies that the effective mass plays a crucial role in determining the overall gravitational behaviour, supporting the idea of "negative effective mass" in scenarios where dark energy exerts a repulsive force.
By incorporating the concept of "negative effective mass" into the extended framework of classical mechanics, we develop a more comprehensive understanding of the gravitational dynamics, allowing us to account for the repulsive effects of dark energy on the universe's expansion. This refined interpretation bridges the abstract notion of dynamic mass variations with observable cosmological phenomena, providing insight into the complex interplay between mass, force, and acceleration in the universe.
Dark energy's influence on the universe's expansion can be understood in terms of the effective mass (Mᵉᶠᶠᴜₙᵢᵥ) exhibiting properties that suggest a negative effective density. When the effective mass exceeds the matter mass (Mᴍᴜₙᵢᵥ), it contributes to gravitational dynamics that may resemble those associated with a negative gravitating mass (Mɢᴜₙᵢᵥ), leading to the repulsive effects observed in the universe.
Mathematical Framework:
The mathematical framework establishes a relationship between potential energy, effective mass, and universal force, providing insight into the universe's expansion and the concept of "negative effective mass." The potential energy of the universe (PEᴛₒₜᴜₙᵢᵥ) is directly proportional to the effective mass (Mᵉᶠᶠᴜₙᵢᵥ), indicating that the effective mass plays a crucial role in defining the universe's dynamics.
The equation Fᴜₙᵢᵥ = Mᵉᶠᶠᴜₙᵢᵥ · aᵉᶠᶠᴜₙᵢᵥ describes the universal force as directly proportional to effective acceleration (aᵉᶠᶠᴜₙᵢᵥ) and inversely proportional to effective mass (Mᵉᶠᶠᴜₙᵢᵥ). An increase in acceleration leads to an increase in the universal force and a corresponding decrease in effective mass, which can lead to the formation of matter. Over time, potential energy becomes dependent on both the matter mass (Mᴍᴜₙᵢᵥ) and the present effective mass, shaping the gravitational dynamics.
By linking these parameters, this framework explains how variations in effective mass, particularly when perceived as negative, contribute to the repulsive effects associated with dark energy, providing a comprehensive view of the complex interplay between mass, force, and acceleration in the universe.
The Equations:
PEᴛₒₜᴜₙᵢᵥ ∝ Mᵉᶠᶠᴜₙᵢᵥ,
This expression, establishes a direct relationship between the universe's potential energy and its effective mass. In the early universe, effective mass played a critical role in determining the potential energy. The universal force was necessary to convert this potential energy into kinetic energy, facilitating the rapid expansion of the universe. As the effective mass decreased, acceleration increased, reflecting the dynamics of this early rapid expansion.
The equation Fᴜₙᵢᵥ = Mᵉᶠᶠᴜₙᵢᵥ · aᵉᶠᶠᴜₙᵢᵥ
describes that the universal force is directly proportional to effective acceleration, and effective acceleration is inversely proportional to effective mass. This relationship suggests that in the early universe, the universal force was the product of the effective mass and the effective acceleration.
Since acceleration is inversely proportional to mass, an increase in effective acceleration leads to a corresponding increase in the universal force, which, in turn, causes a decrease in the effective mass as the acceleration increases, and so corresponding increase in matter mass through formation. As acceleration increase, the effective mass decrease, forming matter mass.
Later, the potential energy became dependent on both the matter mass (Mᴍᴜₙᵢᵥ) and the present effective mass.
The force is influenced by the interaction between the matter mass and the effective mass, where the effective acceleration (aᵉᶠᶠᴜₙᵢᵥ) is inversely related to the total mass, comprising both matter and effective mass, represented by the equation:
Fᴜₙᵢᵥ = (Mᴍᴜₙᵢᵥ+Mᵉᶠᶠᴘᵣₑₛₑₙₜ) · aᵉᶠᶠᴜₙᵢᵥ
As the effective acceleration increases, the apparent matter mass decreases, corresponding increase in present effective mass, which is negative, within this combined mass. Thus, the emergence of dark energy from negative effective mass and its dominant role in gravitational dynamics can be explained by the relationship between effective mass and gravitational effects. As acceleration increased, the apparent matter mass decreased, generating effective mass.
Dark energy's influence on the universe's expansion can be understood in terms of the effective mass (Mᵉᶠᶠᴜₙᵢᵥ) exhibiting properties that suggest a negative effective density. When the effective mass exceeds the matter mass (Mᴍᴜₙᵢᵥ), it contributes to gravitational dynamics that may resemble those associated with a negative gravitating mass (Mɢᴜₙᵢᵥ), leading to the repulsive effects observed in the universe.

Paradox 1 - The Laws of Physics Invalidate Themselves, When They Enter the Singularity Controlled by Themselves.
Paradox 2 - The Collapse of Matter Caused by the Law of Gravity Will Eventually Destroy the Law of Gravity.
The laws of physics dominate the structure and behavior of matter. Different levels of material structure correspond to different laws of physics. According to reductionism, when we require the structure of matter to be reduced, the corresponding laws of physics are also reduced. Different levels of physical laws correspond to different physical equations, many of which have singularities. Higher level equations may enter singularities when forced by strong external conditions, pressure, temperature, etc., resulting in phase transitions such as lattice and magnetic properties being destroyed. Essentially the higher level physics equations have failed and entered the lower level physics equations. Obviously there should exist a lowest level physics equation which cannot be reduced further, it would be the last line of defense after all the higher level equations have failed and it is not allowed to enter the singularity. This equation is the ultimate equation. The equation corresponding to the Hawking-Penrose spacetime singularity [1] should be such an equation.
We can think of the physical equations as a description of a dynamical system because they are all direct or indirect expressions of energy-momentum quantities, and we have no evidence that it is possible to completely detach any physical parameter, macroscopic or microscopic, from the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian.
Gravitational collapse causes black holes, which have singularities [2]. What characterizes a singularity? Any finite parameter before entering a spacetime singularity becomes infinite after entering the singularity. Information becomes infinite, energy-momentum becomes infinite, but all material properties disappears completely. A dynamical equation, transitioning from finite to infinite, is impossible because there is no infinite source of dynamics, and also the Uncertainty Principle would prevent this singularity from being achieved*. Therefore, while there must be a singularity according to the Singularity Principle, this singularity must be inaccessible, or will not enter. Before entering this singularity, a sufficiently long period of time must have elapsed, waiting for the conditions that would destroy it, such as the collision of two black holes.
Most of these singularities, however, can usually be resolved by pointing out that the equations are missing some factor, or noting the physical impossibility of ever reaching the singularity point. In other words, they are probably not 'real'.” [3] We believe this statement is correct. Nature will not destroy by itself the causality it has established.

* According to the uncertainty principle, finite energy and momentum cannot be concentrated at a single point in space-time.

Structural Logic Paradox
Russell once wrote a letter to Ludwig Wittgenstein while visiting China (1920 - 1921) in which he said "I am living in a Chinese house built around a courtyard *......" [1]. The phrase would probably mean to the West, "I live in a house built around the back of a yard." Russell was a logician, but there is clearly a logical problem with this expression, since the yard is determined by the house built, not vice versa. The same expression is reflected in a very famous poem "A Moonlit Night On The Spring River" from the Tang Dynasty (618BC - 907BC) in China. One of the lines is: "We do not know tonight for whom she sheds her ray, But hear the river say to its water adieu." The problem here is that the river exists because of the water, and without the water there would be no river. Therefore, there would be no logic of the river saying goodbye to its water. There are, I believe, many more examples of this kind, and perhaps we can reduce these problems to a structural logic pradox †.
Ignoring the above logical problems will not have any effect on literature, but it should become a serious issue in physics. The biggest obstacle in current physics is that we do not know the structure of elementary particles and black holes. Renormalization is an effective technique, but offers an alternative result that masks the internal structure and can only be considered a stopgap tool. Hawking and Penrose proved the Singularity Theorem, but no clear view has been developed on how to treat singularities. It seems to us that this scenario is the same problem as the structural logic described above. Without black holes (and perhaps elementary particles) there would be no singularities, and (virtual) singularities accompany black holes. Since there is a black hole and there is a singularity, how does a black hole not collapse today because of a singularity, will collapse tomorrow because of the same singularity? Do yards make houses disappear? Does a river make water disappear? This is the realistic explanation of the "paradox" in the subtitle of this question. The laws of physics do not destroy themselves.
-------------------------------------------------
Notes
* One of the typical architectural patterns in Beijing, China, is the "quadrangle", which is usually a square open space with houses built along the perimeter, and when the houses are built, a courtyard is formed in the center. Thus, before the houses were built, it was the field, not the courtyard. The yard must have been formed after the house was built, even though that center open space did not substantially change before or after the building, but the concept changed.
† I hope some logician or philosopher will point out the impropriety.

Agree. It is a math problem not a real problem in the universe. Anything infinity destroys all conservations in the universe.

The concept of mass explained by the Higgs mechanism is able to include all concepts of mass, inertial mass, gravitational mass, mechanical mass, electromagnetic mass [1], kinematic mass, static mass, longitudinal mass, transverse mass [2], bare mass ...... ? Is it the Higgs field that leads to the mass-energy equation? How are coupling relationships established? Do the Couplings Transfer Energy-Momentum?
Although there are many different sub-concepts of mass, a distinguishing feature is that the mass of an object is not reflected, recognisable, or measurable when it is not interacting. We can think of all mass as a property of resistance that only presents itself when an object's state of motion changes§. The so-called "rest mass" can only be regarded as a representation of the amount of static energy, and not vice versa.
Thus, it is clear that masses are essentially the same, differing only in size and form*. This also implies that no matter how many differences there are in the occasions of interaction, as long as the required dimension is the same, they are the same mass. In this way, the Equivalence Principle in GR need not be regarded as a specific condition.
However, mass is not constant, and the magnitude of an object's mass in SR changes according to the Lorentz transformation. This predicts that the mass of an object is related to the increase or decrease in the energy of the object and is bounded by the speed of light.
Higgs physics suggests [3] that the mass of bosons is given by the Higgs mechanism [4]; that the mass of fermions is also given by the Higgs field [10], although this is still an open question [5]; and that Higgs particles themselves give their own mass [3], although this is not a clear-cut conclusion either [6].The Higgs field is a scalar field that pervades space, and is the same as the other elementary particle fields, electron fields, quark fields, etc., co-existing in the vacuum**. They all appear to have the same status, except for the Higgs mechanism.
However, the current Higgs mechanism has some obvious explanation missing.
1) Why does the Higgs field selectively couple to bosons? I.e., how does the Higgs field recognise the bosons W±, Z and γ, g, all of which have energy and perform the same function, and to which the Higgs field selectively assigns mass, or not.
2) The magnitude of the coupling coefficient of the Higgs field determines the mass size of the fermions [10]. Then, the mass hierarchy of the three generations of fermions is determined by the Higgs field.Why should the particles all have different couplings coefficients gj to the Higgs field? and where do these values come from[7][8]? Before there is mass, fermions have exactly the same quantum number and they are indistinguishable [9]. How does the Higgs field recognise these particles? The obvious requirement is that they must have additional parameters, or other physical quantities that do not present . At the same time, The action of the Higgs field on the positive and negative particles (e+,e-; q+,q-; ) is identical. And how does it ignore this difference?
3) If the Higgs field is not coupled to fermions, can fermions really travel at the speed of light like photons without stopping? According to the mass-energy equation E=mc2, are all particles energy before there is mass(or none)? So the coupling of the Higgs field is to energy, do they have to exchange energy between them? What is the energy transfer relation here, E=mc2? If m=0 now, is E fully converted to the raw energy of the particle?
4) If the significance of the existence of inertial mass for fermions, W± can be explained, what is the significance of the Higgs Boson possessing inertial mass itself?Does it really implies the existence of a 'fifth force', mediated by the exchange of Higgs bosons [8]?
5) The shape of the Higgs potential V(Ø) expresses the relationship between the potential and the field strength , V(Ø) ~ Ø [10] . Ø is hidden in the vacuum ††. How do different Ø present themselves at a given spatial location? Do they interact with other particles in one way?
6) How does the mathematical explanation of the Higgs mechanism map reasonably to physical reality? Must the Higgs potential be an external field? ‡‡ Wouldn't it be better if it were the field of the particle itself? [12] Is the Higgs mechanism for mass completely excludes the relation between mass and spin ?[15]
7) Not all mass is caused by Higgs [10], and potential energy (binding energy) gives mass as well. In this case, is mass still consistent? Doesn't mass become a variable?
------------------------------------------
Supplement: Can mass have multiple origins? (2024.9.26)
“The Higgs does seem to be the source of the mass of elementary particles, e.g., the electron; but it is responsible for < 2% of the mass of more complex things, like the proton. The mass of the vast bulk of visible material in the Universe has a different source.”[1] “the Higgs boson is almost irrelevant to the origin of the proton mass. ”[2]
Mass is an important particle property. If mass has surprisingly multiple origins, how do we explain their relationship? Do they produce the same results by similar mechanisms, or completely different ones? Do they all rely on external fields? Is the mass-energy equation, m=E/c^2, a clue to determining the uniform origin of mass? Can a mechanism that does not provide energy provide mass?
Does mass obey the superposition principle? Is it a scalar superposition or a vector superposition? Is it a linear or nonlinear superposition? Let us consider a process in which u, d quarks combine to form a proton p. In the early stages of the evolution of the universe, nothing else in particular existed. u and d automatically combine to form p in such a scenario, like a pair of lovers meeting to form a family. The family is a more stable structure, and the ‘quality’ of life of the family (In Chinese, quality and mass are one word, 质量) has increased. The increased ‘quality’ does not come from outside, but from the union itself.

Notes
§ Mass is usually thought of as resisting a change in the "state" of matter, but what is the "state"? Why does it resist change? Why can it resist change? My personal reference answer is here [12]: Mass originates from damping the superluminal intent of a spinning light ring and as a result is the fundamental property that distinguishes fermions from bosons.
* Mass is somewhat similar to energy in that it exists in various forms, but the two are fundamentally different.
** Physics doesn't know what parameters to use to describe these fields and doesn't seem to be interested.

I apologise for confusing the name and the paper link. It's been corrected over.
I'd really like to see everyone's different scenarios eventually come together consistently. What is the probability that everyone has the same outcome, but the wrong idea? So it's more likely that everyone started from different locations on a distributed chain of causality and came to the same spot.

If gravity is caused by spacetime, then negative gravity should also be caused by spacetime. If general relativity is correct, then it should be able to describe all spacetime types and describe both positive and negative gravity.
In electromagnetic interactions there are two opposite forces, attractive and repulsive. The direction of the electric force depends on the identity of the "electric charge"; the direction of the magnetic force depends on the polarity of the "magnetic charge"*. However, in gravitational phenomena we only find attractive forces at the macroscopic level. This seems to be a flaw, somewhat similar to our inability to see antimatter (the gravitational force produced by antimatter is still positive). The concepts of "negative mass" and "negative energy" have been proposed and assumed to give rise to negative gravity [1][2][3]. This seems a somewhat absurd idea.
According to the interpretation of general relativity, gravity is a manifestation of the "curvature" of spacetime. So, if positive curvature of space-time produces "positive gravity", does negative curvature of space-time produce "negative gravity"? Under what conditions and in what places should such a situation leading to negative gravity occur?
Schwarzschild spacetime is a spherically symmetric solution of GR, can spherical symmetry be extended across the "event horizon" to r=0?
The best way to describe it is that we take the "event horizon" (r=2GM) as the dividing line, whose inner and outer spacetimes are symmetric. The external is gravitational force (pointing to the centre of the sphere), which tends to zero at r→∞,and is the macroscopic case; the internal is negative gravitational force (leaving the centre of the sphere), which tends to zero at r→0, and is the microscopic case(This looks like a very good match for elementary particles). However, physics suggests that the interior of a black hole is much more complex [4].

Fred-Rick Schermer "He (Einstein) used the term Spacetime to help declare aspects about the gravitational effects of matter, in specifics the anomalies as for instance seen with the perihelion of Mercury."
Spacetime is a term in relativity theory which only indicates that the structure of space and time is related.
"Once a person accepts that matter came about in the Big Bang model, then one cannot declare at the same time that unification is real as well."
The big bang model is bullshit.
The only relevant model is about an eternal universe. Instead of a big bang only cyclic bangs happen, which affect about 10% of the mass of the universe. The restricted cyclic bangs release astronomic signs, which we misinterprete as traces of a big bang.
The cyclic bangs resolve all black holes, once every 20 billion years, and retransform their matter to new star fuel.
All arguments against that model of the eternal cyclic universe can be disproven in a factual way.

The thread question rather in detail is scientifically answered in SS 5 posts series on page 1.
Dear Fred-Rick
- in that
“…Matter’s spacetime is fundamentally absolute."
I fully agree here but only if I understand you correctly. It is matter that is the source for spacetime; space and time are actually not part of the discussion. Rather, all words apply to the behavior of matter and nothing of these words applies to space or time. though the words are implying they are...”
- you understand what is in the SS posts above correctly, however only in certain sense, though.
To understand more it is necessary to read at least first few pages in https://www.researchgate.net/publication/354418793_The_Informational_Conception_and_the_Base_of_Physics, where it is explained what are absolutely fundamental phenomena/notions “Space” and “Time”; and their concrete actualizations in every concrete informational pattern/system - concrete spaces and time
[ while in the Shevchenko-Tokarevsky’s philosophical 2007 “The Information as Absolute” conception, recent version of the basic paper see
- it is rigorously proven that there exist nothing else than some informational patterns/systems of the patterns that are elements of the absolutely fundamental and absolutely infinite “Information” Set; including Matter is nothing else that some the Set’s element.
At that the utmost general definition of the absolutely fundamental phenomenon/notion “Information” is
“Information is something that is constructed in accordance with the set/system of absolutely fundamental Rules, Possibilities, Quantities, etc. – the set/system “Logos” in the conception” .]
I.e. the “Logos” set elements “make something to be an information”, and any/every concrete pattern/system, including Matter, is made absolutely obligatorily by some concrete “composition of the “Logos” elements actualizations”.
“Space” and “Time” are just the “Logos” set [besides any informational pattern/system “is made” also, first of all, by “Logos” elements “Energy”, “Change”, “Logical Rules”] and their actualizations in concrete cases are concrete space, that can have any number of concrete “space dimensions” [the number is equal to number of degreases of freedom at change of state of a pattern/system], and the unique in the Set “time dimension”.
Any concrete pattern/system can exist and change, in a system its elements interact, etc., only in its concrete space and time.
So, including any “behavior of matter” is possible only in some space, Matter is rather simple logical system that is based on binary reversible logics, and so Matter’s utmost universal space has 4 dimensions – X,Y,Z are necessary – “allow” to make binary operations, - dimension allows reverse binary operation.
Correspodingly the space and time intervals between elements, motion of elements in space and time dimensions, etc., are absolutely necessary for existence of everything in Matter –
- and at description and analysis of what exists and happens in Matter. If you don’t know these data, you by no means can describe and analyze “behavior of matter”.
Besides, really it is fundamentally senseless to ask “what appeared earlier – Matter or its spacetime”, Matter could appeared only in its spacetime, which – as logical possibility to create, and to exist of, Matter – existed as a part of the Set’s spacetime, which contains all spaces of all Its elements – and one time dimension;
- while the Set exists absolutely “eternally”, having no Beginning and no End, since absolutely fundamentally - logically - cannot be non-existent.

Thank you, Wolfgang, I understand better now where you are coming from.
The model you embrace is not the model I embrace, and this helps us understand what each of us is saying.
I do not support the cyclic universe; it was a one-time event in which the prior state broke at a fundamental level. Hence my saying that, once we have an omelet, we know that the egg was broken. There is no return to the original state available.
An eternal universe requires that we have evidence for that eternal aspect. We do not have that evidence. I will not stand in non-scientific grounds. I will only stand with my feet on the ground (even when that is on a planet floating through space) and I will not stand with my feet on space.
It is illogical to have matter be eternal. There is no indication that matter is eternal, rather we have a clear understanding that matter did begin with hydrogen (and helium), and how all other elements arrived in various subsequent fashions.
Matter returning to an immaterial state is not supported by scientific evidence. At best, it can be read in models, but then we need to discuss the value of these models. I am not convinced that black holes are actually real, but that is a different discussion.
I am standing with the scientific evidence, Wolfgang. I do not extrapolate it into additional dimensions. I may not be the best scientist, but I will not stand outside the scientific realm.
Thank you again for explaining where you are standing.

We do not have the faintest valid explanation about a possible creation of electrons and protons without the simultaneous creation of positrons and antiprotons.
This fact and the unlimited lifetime of electrons and most atomic nuclei leaves us with the only possible conclusion that matter must be and must have been eternal.

Thank you for that answer, Wolfgang. We are not thinking fully along the same lines. That is very clarifying; after all, communication is difficult enough.
Let me find out if this is about language or if we really say something else.
I can say that the unlimited lifetime of electrons points to a potentially eternal nature of Energy. This is what you may want to say, but you placed eternal with Matter, which is in my model not possible.
If the transformation of Energy into Matter occurred some 13.8 billion years ago, then the term eternal cannot be applied to Matter. A (fundamental) transformation undermines being able to use the word eternal.
It is not known how old Energy is, so I cannot make the claim that Energy is, or is not eternal. We just don't know. Yet Matter is a result. We know therefore that it cannot be eternal; it was produced at one point in time, something new got produced from something old(er).
--
In my model, I do not need to start with the same amount of matter as antimatter because the starting point for matter begins under extreme circumstances. It is not an ordinary circumstance. Antimatter will occur, but it is a circumstantial byproduct.
We can discuss this further if you want, but the special circumstance is more interesting now.
There was a special circumstance in which the prior normal conditions of whatever or however energy existed before caused itself to move toward that special circumstance. This could have been done in a happenstance manner, or in a directed manner. But it was a step that led to a fundamental undermining, with either option we pick.
As a consequence, (some) original energy got deformed during these special conditions, and a quark soup got created (to keep the storyline simple). Then, the special conditions were reversed, everything back to normal, yet the deformed quarks were not able to return to their original state. They were and are deformed packages of original energy.
The reversal of the special conditions occurred at the CMBR, when conditions were normal again. Here the quarks aligned themselves immediately into neutrons and protons.
That is the point Zeus overthrew Cronus, if you allow me to throw in some Greek mythology as support that I am not thinking up something structurally never considered before. Where immaterial Energy was first the only circumstance for energy, with the transformation of some energy into quarks, they actually took the lead.
Matter became the center of energy (quarks in nuclei of atoms). Everything else remaining in the original energized state then falling in place, aligning themselves with the quarks in the center.
Yes, electrons then also part of the original immaterial energy, but then pulled into the deformed reality of the energized quarks, causing the tip of that iceberg to become material.

Is HUP just a way the physicists found to correct the unnatural concept and mathematical formalism of dimensionless-point elementary particles?
Making these points more fuzzy and therefore giving them a physical finite size and shape. Now with HUP the elementary point particles have finite size limits (i.e. minimum bounds on their position and momentum are applied). So, is HUP really just an artificial epistemic mechanism to make the elementary particles in the standard particle model theory more physical and less mathematical dimensionless operators.
You can imagine it, as the elementary bare particle being a dimensionless point in the center and HUP is actually defining an outer finite size shell for this particle.
In a nutshell, the bare elementary particle in the Standard Model is this dimensionless-point in space and when applying HUP for this particle we get the "dressed" version of the particle with its virtual particle noise mantle surrounding it.
Is the above physical description correct of what HUP really is?

Abbas Kashani
A lot to work with, Abbas.
However, I am standing in a completely different position, and want to share my work with you. I hope you are interested about this completely distinct perspective.
My claim is that Einstein established a jump that is not allowed, yet everyone followed along.
Einstein and Newton's starting point is the behavior of matter through space. As such, one should find as answer something about the behavior of matter moving through space, and yet Einstein did not do that.
To make the point understandable quickly, Einstein had not yet heard about the Big Bang yet. So, while he devised his special relativity, he actually had not incorporated the most important behavior of matter through space.
Instead, he ended up hanging all behaviors of matter on spacetime. It does not matter that his calculations are correct.

Let me find a simple example to show what is going on.
We are doing research on mice in a cage, and after two years we formulated a correct framework that fully captures all possible behaviors of these mice in the cage. That's the setup.
Now comes the mistake:
The conclusion is that the cage controls the mice in their behaviors.
Correctly, we would have said that the mice are in control of themselves, yet the cage restricts them in their behavior. We would not say that the cage controls the mice.
Totally incorrect of course, and yet that is what Einstein did. He established a reality in which matter no longer explains the behavior of matter through space, but made it space (spacetime) that explains the behavior of matter. It is a black&white position that has to be replaced by the correct framework (which is a surprise because it is not based on one aspect, but on both aspects).
--
I know I am writing you from a perspective not often mentioned, and it may not interest you. I'll find out if you are interested in delving deeper into this or not.
Here is an article in which I delve into this matter more deeply:
Article On a Fully Mechanical Explanation of All Behaviors of Matter...
On a Fully Mechanical Explanation of All Behaviors of Matter, Replacing Albert Einstein’s General Relativity Theory
Anomalies in the behavior of matter, such as seen with the precession of Mercury, led researchers to look for the ether as the additional aspect that would explain the anomalies. Or, in the case of Albert Einstein, this led to appointing a curvature to Spacetime to explain the anomalies. This paper explains the anomalies based on an additional behavior of matter instead. The additional behavior of matter is known by all, but for some reason did not get incorporated into the prevailing scientific models.
When Albert Einstein published his General Relativity theory, he did not yet know about the materialization process, now commonly known as the Big Bang theory. That means that the behavior of matter based on the materialization process itself did not get incorporated in his framework. While Einstein will have reviewed this new Big Bang information for his General Relativity theory, he did not look for a mechanical explanation that would explain the anomalies.
What Einstein produced was a mathematical model to explain the anomalies (including predicting some outcomes that were not yet known). As such, the mathematical information is correct and is therefore not the subject matter of this paper. Instead, it is the explanation underneath the celestial outcomes that is distinct from Einstein’s gravitational model. A far more normal overall mechanism is proposed to be the reason for all behaviors of matter moving through space and that means that Spacetime can be discarded (though not the mathematical calculations).
The reason the mathematical information is correct, but the explanation of General Relativity is not, is based on the First Motion of matter. The Big Bang event produced a ‘sent-off’ action for matter. This means that all matter in the entire universe is on the move. There exists no matter that is at a standstill, and as such the lack of matter at a standstill should be understood as matter being a result, and how the materialization process itself produced that First Motion for all matter.
The amount of gravity in a galaxy that is required for a pure GR model is insufficient, and either the ether or dark matter are proposed to fill that gap. In the First Motion model, however, the currently known amount of gravity is exactly all the gravity there should be. There is no gap; there isn’t anything missing.
The specific point why Einstein’s mathematical framework is correct, but not the underlying reality, is that this First Motion action occurs in a ‘straight’ line through space. There is no gravity involved in this linear direction. Gravity is discovered only with the subsequent motions of matter.
· Second Motion: Circular motion of matter in a galaxy.
· Third Motion: Revolution of planets around their star.
· Fourth Motion: Spinning action of planets (moons in tow).
Therefore, the mathematical framework predicts the specific motions of matter, yet it does not explain why. While this may appear a minor aspect, it is a major aspect as this paper will show.
· Einstein’s GR uses gravity to fully explain the anomaly of Mercury’s precession.
· First Motion uses First Motion + Gravity to explain the anomaly.
--
To explain what is going on for a galaxy, and why less gravity is in play than required in GR, an analogy may help make this plain and obvious quickly. The analogy is that of 200 ice skaters. They are all skating in a group on a frozen canal. All are going at the same speed, in the same direction, in the same environment, at the same time.
Very clearly, one can see group activities, such as racing, pushing, hanging on to the strongest skater, playing, etcetera. Yet the vital aspect to understand is that the group is not skating as a group. In fact, the group is not skating as a group at all.
When an individual decides to stop skating, then the remainder of the group moves on. This shows that each skater is skating on his or her own power. There is no collective power for this group; the individuals are all doing the skating, and not the group.
For each of the 100 billion masses in the Milky Way, there is no option to stop ‘skating’. The First Motion that was put in place 13.8 billion years ago is on-going. There is no escape from this motion unless something specific interferes with the First Motion of a mass.
· All masses in a galaxy are moving in the same direction through space, at the same speed, at the same time, in the same environment.
That means that while there are collective behaviors noticeable and that gravity does play a role internally, the individual masses are not controlled by just gravity. The prime mover for each mass is applied to each mass and is not associated with the group.
There is no need to look for the ether or for dark matter, because the First Motion declares that there is just the amount of gravity required that has already been mapped fully. The group is a group because the prime mover of each of the individual masses is doing the exact same thing at the same speed, in the same direction, in the same environment.
--
This setup also indicates that the anomaly of Mercury’s precession can be explained by the specific aspects of First Motion in combination with the other motions. Note how this is a complexity and may take time to understand.
First an example of Sun, planet Earth and the Moon to warm up the mind.
These celestial bodies are like a truck, a car and a motorcycle, all speeding on the freeway in one and the same direction. The truck drives in a near-perfect straight line, whereas the car and the motorcycle going at the same speed also circle the truck (while the motorcycle circles the car as well). Their overall speeds are the same. They are on the same road, each driving the roadway by themselves.
· Important to note is that the Sun is not involved in the revolving actions that the planets are involved in.
The following is essential to understand: the Sun ‘sits’ in the center of the Solar System swirl and is not involved in revolving. Therefore, the planets show extra behaviors (revolving and spinning) that the Sun is not involved in.
Mercury is the planet closest to the central position of the Solar System’s swirl, while revolving and spinning. Not gravity, but the position in the swirling action of the Solar System is key. Keep in mind that all celestial bodies are moving at their fastest speed in the same direction.
To make the specific situation more understandable, one more analogy, this time about the Eye of the Hurricane. The closer to the Wall of the Eye of the Storm, the more an item will be swept up by the wind force. Meanwhile, in the Eye itself, there is no wind force. Where the center has a minimum expression of wind force, the location right next to it presents a maximum expression of wind force. There is no gradual change between this minimum and maximum, other than the gradual change in wind force when being further removed from the Eye of the Storm, from the maximum then to the minimum found much further out. The force is zero in the center, one right next to it, and then gradually diminishing toward zero again, at the edge of the entire storm.
The Sun is found in the net-zero position of the Solar System swirl. The Sun is therefore not affecting the precession anomaly of Mercury. It is Mercury’s specific location in the swirl that causes the anomaly to occur. It is closer to the Eye; Mercury is closer to the net-zero position of the Solar System swirl. It is affected disproportionately in its precession due to this closeness to the center (though not located in the center itself).
This visual from an article published in Nature (“Curved space-time on a chip”) is used to show Einstein’s GR with the gravitationally heaviest entity, the Sun, located in the center. The reason being is that the Sun does the curving that is then affecting the entity (be it either Mercury or for that article, photons) also shown in the image.
The same image can be used to show how First Motion + Gravity functions.
The Sun ‘sits’ in the center of the swirling motion of the Solar System. A requirement is then that the Sun is mostly made up of light-weighted materials, otherwise it would have been thrown out of this position a long time ago.
Indeed, while the Sun has amassed enormous amounts of material, hydrogen and helium make up most of the Sun. Despite heavier materials being present and despite the enormous amounts of materials being present, the Sun can be declared a light-weighted mass. It ‘sits’ in this central location because the light-weighted materials cannot get thrown out of that position.
One more analogy to make this easier to envision. The Sun is then like a very large but light-weighted ball ending up in a maelstrom in front of the Norwegian coast. This large ball cannot get pulled under due to its size and light-weighted essence, and it cannot go anywhere else because the maelstrom captured it. The Sun is physically stuck in place in the center of the Solar System swirl (Third Motion), while the entirety of the Solar System is on the move (in First and Second Motions).
Then, Mercury’s position should become obvious as well. Mercury is involved in Third and Fourth Motions (as well as First and Second Motions). The maelstrom is affecting the precession of Mercury; it becomes distinct compared to the other planets revolving around the Sun because the effects of the maelstrom play a role on Mercury whereas the maelstrom does not directly affect the specific behaviors of the other planets revolving around it. All other planets are located at a greater distance from the center of the Solar System swirl.
As visual aid, one can envision the behavior of a plane, its flight path mapped out on a flat screen or shown with the planet as backdrop. In one case, the straight line appears curved. In the other case, the line is straight instead. The interesting part is that the anomalies are not expressed like a flight path on the curved surface of a planet, but rather on the curved edge of the Wall of the Eye of the Storm.
Mercury’s anomaly is real, but in GR the reason is the Sun, whereas in FM+G the reason is found with the edge of the net-zero position of the Solar System swirl.
In both cases, GR or First Motion, the line is bent toward the viewer, and the effects therefore the same. Yet the GR model makes it all out to be as gravity based, and therefore ends up missing a large amount of gravity to explain how a galaxy is held together. In First Motion, there is no missing gravity.
--
A point to reiterate is how the model is complex and yet the various parts need to be understood as one model.
First Motion: Straight line of action (involving all matter). Not based on gravity.
Second Motion: Trajectory for Sun and Solar System. Gravity involved.
Third Motion: Trajectory just for planets in Solar System. Gravity involved.
Fourth motion: Planets spinning, moons in tow. Gravity involved.
· Each spinning, swirling reality will produce that Wall of the Eye, and this leaves a discussion about gravity wide open. That discussion is not part of this article.
Each swirling reality will produce a net-zero position in the center. Earth has its own spinning reality, stuck in the center of that swirling reality. The Solar System has the Sun stuck in the net-zero position. A galaxy’s center is more complex even still (but left unaddressed in this article as well).
The trajectory for planets is based on their own action in the larger Solar System setting with the Third Motion. Most planets are not pulled toward the center action of the First and Second Motions; they are far more involved in their own actions. Mercury, however, is placed in the position closest to where the First and Second Motion have their greatest influence. This becomes visible in the precession anomaly of Mercury.
--
A mechanical model explains all behaviors of matter moving through space.
Where Einstein envisioned two or three motions, he did not incorporate the most important motion, the First Motion. He left it out, even after becoming aware of it.
When models are not based on all motions, then researchers can claim that the ether is real or that Spacetime is a reality for matter.
--
Note once more how this does not involve any changes to the mathematical model. If the mathematical model is like a dog, then the issue discussed in this paper is about whether a dog wags its tail or whether the tail wags the dog. The dog itself is not the issue. The mathematical framework is not the issue.
Einstein’s GR is wagging the dog.
Ether is wagging the dog.
Dark matter is wagging the dog.
First Motion has the dog wag its tail.
--
First Motion is part of the Big Whisper model, which is a twin Big Bang model, yet it explains fully the behavior of matter through space and does so in a mechanical manner.

What is a phenomenon called "false vacuum collapse"?
as you know :
Mean field energy and bubble formation. The cloud is initially prepared in FV with all atoms in |↑⟩ (A). Although the single spin mode |↓⟩ is lower in energy in the center of the cloud (E↓E↑), the opposite is true in the low-density tails. The interface (domain wall) between ferromagnetic regions with opposite magnetism has positive (kinetic) energy, which is added to the minimum double energy resulting from ferromagnetic interaction. Macroscopic tunneling can occur resonantly in the bubble mode (B), which has a |↓⟩ bubble in the center. The increase in core energy compensates for the cost of domain-wall energy. Crossing the barrier can be caused by quantum fluctuations at zero temperature (full arrow) or by thermal fluctuations at finite temperature (empty arrow). After the tunneling process, the bubble size increases in the presence of dissipation to reach the true vacuum (TV) state (C), without returning to (A). Credit: Nature Physics (2024). DOI: 10.1038/s41567-023-02345-4
An experiment carried out in Italy with theoretical support from the University of Newcastle provided the first experimental evidence of vacuum decay.
In quantum field theory, when a not-so-stable state becomes a true stable state, it is called a "pseudovacuum collapse." This happens through the creation of small local bubbles. While existing theoretical work can predict how often this bubble formation occurs, there is not much empirical evidence.
The Pitaevskii Center for Supercold Atoms Laboratory for the Bose-Einstein Condensation in Trento reports for the first time observations of phenomena related to the stability of our universe. The results are the result of a collaboration between the University of Newcastle, the National Institute of Optics CNR, the Department of Physics at the University of Trento and TIFFA-INFEN and are published in Nature Physics.
The results are supported by theoretical simulations and numerical models, confirming the origin of the decay quantum field and its thermal activation, and opening the way to simulate out-of-equilibrium quantum field phenomena in atomic systems.
This experiment uses a supercooled gas at a temperature less than one microkelvin from absolute zero. At this temperature, the bubbles appear as the vacuum collapses, and Newcastle University's Professor Ian Moss and Dr Tom Billam were able to conclusively show that the bubbles are the result of heat-activated vacuum collapse.
Ian Moss, Professor of Theoretical Cosmology at Newcastle University's School of Mathematics, Statistics and Physics, said: "Vacuum collapse is thought to play a central role in the creation of space, time and matter in the Big Bang, but so far it has not. In particle physics, the decay of the Higgs boson vacuum changes the laws of physics and creates what has been described as the 'ultimate ecological catastrophe'."
Dr Tom Bilam, Senior Lecturer in Applied/Quantum Mathematics, added: "Using the power of ultracold atom experiments to simulate analogues of quantum physics in other systems – in this case the early universe itself – is a very exciting area of research. the moment."
This research opens new avenues in understanding the early universe as well as ferromagnetic quantum phase transitions.
This groundbreaking experiment is only the first step in the discovery of vacuum decay. The ultimate goal is to find vacuum decay at absolute zero temperature, where the process is driven solely by quantum vacuum fluctuations. An experiment in Cambridge, supported by Newcastle as part of the national QSimFP collaboration, is doing just that.
Stam Nicolis added a reply:
Just what the name says: There are many physical systems, whose potential energy, in the absence of fluctuations, possesses more than one minima. If these minima are not degenerate, it can occur that one is the absolute minimum, however, due to the choice of initial conditions, the system is found in another minimum. In the absence of fluctuations, it will stay in the potential well of that minimum.
In the presence of fluctuations, it can occur that the relative minimum is no longer a minimum: In that case the system won't stay there forever and it is possible to compute the rate at which it will evolve to another state.
While the presence of fluctuations is a necessary condition, it isn't sufficient for transitions to be possible.
Sergey Shevchenko added a reply:
What is a phenomenon called "false vacuum collapse"?”
- the answer to this question is: the question really is absurdity, since really there cannot be fundamentally any “false vacuum”, i.e. that really is an fundamental absurdity, and so its “collapse” is absurdity as well.
Though yeah, in mainstream physics really rather numerous fantastic/mystic “true/false vacuums” really exist, and corresponding publications, where corresponding fantastic/mystic properties and effects of/in the vacuums are “discovered”, are well popular and numerous.
That exists in the mainstream completely logically inevitably from the fact that in the mainstream all really fundamental phenomena/notions, first of all on this case “Matter”– and so everything in Matter, i.e. “particles”, “fundamental Nature forces” – and so “fields”, etc., including “vacuum”, “Consciousness”, “Space”, “Time”, “Energy”, “Information”, are fundamentally completely transcendent/uncertain/irrational,
- and so in every case when the mainstream addresses to something that is really fundamental, the results completely inevitably are only some the fantasies.

- which “discovered” “false vacuum bubbles decays” in some Bose-Einstein Cond sate of Na-23 atoms, more see reDzennn comment, 8 passages, in https://phys.org/news/2024-01-phenomenon-false-vacuum-decay.html, the strangely removed by moderator passage is in the end of whole comments series.
Though yeah, the really full stop “false vacuum” theories are rather popular in mainstream physics, including rather popular is the theory that Matter was created soon 14 billion years ago at some “bubble in spacetime decay”. Thank heavens till now no any even small bubbles didn’t decay near Earth, and nowhere in Space at all, in last 10 billion of years Milky Way existence.
However, again, this full stop – and so quite easily composed - fantasies are so rather popular, and in this case so some people don’t like the comment, correspondingly it is heavily “down voted”.

Perhaps vacuum does not collapse,
but you know the saying, nature abhors vacuum.
Harri Shore added a reply
False vacuum collapse is a theoretical concept in particle physics and cosmology. It suggests that our universe might currently exist in a metastable vacuum state, also known as a false vacuum. If this false vacuum were to collapse to a lower energy state, it could trigger catastrophic consequences, such as the destruction of all matter and the laws of physics as we know them. This hypothetical scenario is based on certain models in quantum field theory and the structure of the universe. However, there is currently no empirical evidence to support the occurrence of false vacuum collapse.
Harri Shore added a reply:
The "false vacuum collapse" refers to a hypothetical cosmic event that could have catastrophic implications for the universe as we know it. In theoretical physics, a vacuum state is considered to be the lowest possible energy state in which a quantum field can exist. A "true vacuum" is the absolute lowest energy state, while a "false vacuum" is a local minimum that is not the absolute lowest. The concept of a false vacuum collapse is based on the idea that if our universe currently exists in a false vacuum state, it is not truly stable but only metastable. This means there's a possibility, however minute, that a transition could occur, causing the universe to "fall" into the true vacuum state. Such a transition would propagate through space at the speed of light and fundamentally alter the laws of physics, potentially obliterating all structures in the universe as it goes.This transition could be triggered spontaneously due to quantum fluctuations or by a high-energy event. Once started, it would create a bubble of true vacuum that expands in all directions, converting the false vacuum into the true vacuum.Despite its dramatic implications, it's important to note that this is a highly speculative hypothesis and currently there is no experimental evidence to suggest that our universe is in a false vacuum state. Additionally, even if it were true, the odds of such an event happening within our lifetimes—or within the lifespan of the universe as it has existed so far—are exceedingly low.

The solution to the “Quantum Experiment Breaks Reality . . .” problem may lie with Special Relativity. Regarding the question of length contraction in Special Relativity - Einstein wrote in 1911 that "It doesn't 'really' exist, in so far as it doesn't exist for a co-moving observer; though it 'really' exists, i.e. in such a way that it could be demonstrated in principle by physical means by a non-comoving observer." (Einstein [1911]. "Zum Ehrenfestschen Paradoxon. Eine Bemerkung zu V. Variĉaks Aufsatz". Physikalische Zeitschrift 12: 509–510) Demonstration "in principle by physical means by a non-comoving observer" is the same meaning as "demonstration by experiments performed by scientists not moving at the speed of light".
Now relate the previous paragraph to this quote - “While an observer stationary with respect to an electric charge will see it as a source of electric field only, a second observer moving relative to the first will see the same charge as a source of both electric and magnetic fields in a way dictated by special relativity.” (Penguin Encyclopedia 2006 - edited by David Crystal - 3rd edition, 2006 - ‘electromagnetism’, p. 443) In this way, two worlds may seem to exist simultaneously but that predicament only exists in the frame of reference used “… by experiments performed by scientists not moving at the speed of light". Let’s look at the cosmos from the frame of reference of an observer co-moving with the universe (where observers and objective reality are united/entangled). The weirdness of quantum physics vanishes and no particle can exist in two places, or realities, at once since the unification of everything in space and time - possibly achieved with Quantum Gravity - means only one place or event can ever exist in the universal, co-moving frame of reference).
Let’s add a final note to the universal frame of reference. A hologram’s appearance differs depending on which direction it’s viewed from. If the universe is holographic as proposed by Gerard ‘t Hooft, Leonard Susskind, and AdS/CFT correspondence - if the 3rd dimension is the result of information in the 2nd dimension - a hologram’s property of looking different depending on the direction it’s viewed from might account for two versions of reality seeming to exist at the same time.
The term Holographic Principle is used most often in physics in relation to the way the information contained in black holes can be directly related to a two-dimensional (2D) surface that surrounds the outside perimeter of the black hole. This has no direct connection with the universe being a computer simulation. This article says the 2D surface doesn’t only surround the black hole but is the Mobius strip which composes everything in the universe according to the following details - the real + imaginary numbers of Wick rotation represent the 4th dimension of time and are built into the 2D Mobius strips which are constructed from the 1D binary digits of 1 and 0 (the digits are identified as Hidden Variables compatible with quantum entanglement). Two strips join to create a figure-8 Klein bottle and trillions of strips and bottles respectively form the photon/graviton (the Klein bottles are immersed in the 3rd dimension). Photons and gravitons then interact to create a pressure which can be interpreted as a subatomic particle. This interaction refers back to a paper published by the great physicist Albert Einstein which asks if gravitation plays a role in formation of elementary particles of matter. (A. Einstein, Spielen Gravitationfelder im Aufbau der Elementarteilchen eine Wesentliche Rolle? [Do gravitational fields play an essential role in the structure of elementary particles?], Sitzungsberichte der Preussischen Akademie der Wissenschaften, [Math. Phys.], 349-356, [1919]) His paper doesn’t only include gravitation’s quantum units of gravitons. It speaks of electromagnetism’s photons as involved in particle creation, too. The Mobius strips help form the entire cosmos and they result from electronics’ BITS (BInary digiTS) of 1 and 0 which draw, program, or encode them. Consequently, the universe would be a simulation.

[Continuation, see the SS post above] However the relativity principle isn’t omnipotent [as that is postulated in the SR relativity principle], and so that
“…Regarding the claim of a "quantum experiment breaks reality," it might refer to experiments exploring quantum entanglement, where particles can become correlated in a way that their properties are interconnected regardless of the distance between them. This phenomenon seems to defy classical notions of causality and locality. ….”
- if we don’t say about that some observers experiments “break reality”, really, of course, nothing can break any reality, and it is fundamentally unique,
- indeed relates to objectively existent in the mainstream situation, where, say, in quantum entanglement experiments the SR “relativity uncertainty” principle is violated; say, if some experiments with distant entangled QM system is made on Earth, and the distance between the systems is directed along some Earth velocity V in the absolute 3D space, say along the CMB dipole axis,
- then the front QM system’s clock in the reference frame is really “younger” on the Voigt/Lorentz decrement –Vd/c2, d is the distance, than the back system clock,
- and so, if an “entanglement signal”, say, from the back system to the front system, propagates in the space with speed more than seed of light, since in this case the real relativity principle doesn’t act, it is possible to “discover”, including, that the signal appeared in the front system before was initiated in the back system; etc.
That indeed violate manything, first of all the fundamental cause-effect principle, however in the absolute frame the principle is, of course, valid.
So now it looks as is indeed interesting - with what speed the “entanglement signals” propagate? – for what, again, is necessary to have some absolute frame;
- and that can be with a well non-zero probability made, corresponding experiments aimed at measurement of absolute velocity of Sun planet, including Earth, system were proposed yet in 2013-2016, more see https://www.researchgate.net/publication/259463954_Measurement_of_the_absolute_speed_is_possible
- and after the velocity will be measured it will be possible to set on Earth some “absolute frame”, and at “entanglement” experiments at least some lower limit of the entanglement signal propagation speed estimated value can be obtained.

We are not in a position to scientifically accept five fundamental forces.
According to relativity, gravity is not considered a force. Nevertheless, scientists, including those who advocate for relativity, persist in asserting that there are four fundamental forces: gravitational, electromagnetic, strong nuclear, and weak nuclear. Simply put, physicists who celebrate the triumph of relativity decisively undermine its credibility or completeness.
This raises the question: Why haven't physicists reduced the fundamental forces to three?

Question

What are the criteria for determining whether an elementary particle is elementary?
"What is an elementary particle?" This seemingly simple question has no clear answer; this seemingly unimportant question may be very important.
Weinberg says [1], "Giving this answer always makes me nervous. i would have to admit that no one really knows." in textbooks, the history of the discovery of particles is recounted. From atoms, electrons, protons, neutrons, up to neutrinos and quarks in the Standard Model, however, the definition of elementary particles is usually not given, and various particles are discussed directly, as in the literature [2][3], ignoring the concept of Elementary.
To answer this question, it is necessary to answer what is meant by "particle" and what is meant by "elementary".
"A particle is simply a physical system that has no continuous degrees of freedom except for its total momentum. "[1]. But obviously, whether this definition holds depends on the depth of the researcher's perspective. If we study only dust, then dust is a particle, even though it has a rich internal structure; if we study blackbody radiation, then a photon is a particle, even though we don't know if it has a structure ....... So the concept of "particle" depends only on our perspective and ability to focus.
"what is meant by elementary ?" Elementary is used in many contexts, not only as "elementary particle", but also as elementary fields, elementary electric charge, etc. Whatever the object of description, our understanding of elementary is that as long as the object it qualifies is irreducible, then that object is elementary. Does irreducible mean "nothing could be pulled or knocked out of it"? This is not a reliable answer, because we don't know at what energy level a composite particle would terminate its decomposition. If there are "Kerr black holes as elementary particles" [4], how do we break it up? And it has been found that different particles produce each other in collisions, so which is a composite of which [1]? even different things produce the same output, so "The difference between elementary and composite particles has thus basically disappeared. and that is no doubt the most important experimental discovery of the last fifty years." [Heisenberg 1975]. When we get to the QFT stage, "particles are not fundamental entities" [5], "There are no particles, there are only fields " [6]. "From the perspective of quantum field theory, the basic ingredients of Nature are not particles but fields; particles such as the electron and photon are bundles of energy of the electron and the electromagnetic fields."[1].
Although photons and electrons come from imagined different elementary fields*, they can nevertheless be converted into each other by the annihilation process e+e- → γ γ' and the pair creation process γ γ' → e+e- [7], with the consequent creation or disappearance of the properties of electrons (charge, spin, mass). Physics suggests that this process is not direct, but rather that photons γ γ' produced by electromagnetic fields excite electron fields, from which e+e- is produced. If we remove this intermediate process, the photon has a spacetime symmetry, which corresponds to the Lorentz invariance of SR in "flat spacetime", and the electron has a gauge-invariant Internal spacetime symmetry, which corresponds to the general covariance of GR in "curved spacetime"; the photon is a boson, the electron is a fermion; according to the supersymmetry theory [8], there is a symmetry relationship between bosons and fermions. Since it is a symmetry relation, they must be convertible to each other, that is, different states of one thing. So, shouldn't annihilation and pair production be a kind of supersymmetric transition relationship? Why don't we consider "annihilation" and "pair production" as verification experiments of supersymmetric relations? Do we have another theory and experiment to determine this symmetry relation? If we further define that particles that can be produced by photons through "pair production" are elementary particles, wouldn't that answer all the questions?
Weinberg said. "We will not be able to give a final answer to the question of which particles are elementary until we have a final theory of force and matter. " What does that really mean?

* Space-time is filled with dozens of different fields, it is impossible to imagine their rationality and necessity.

In fact the representation of the Poincaré group describes the mass and the spin of a relativistic object; the further properties are described by the representation of the symmetry group that refers to the ``internal charges''.
(For the leptons this is a representation of the SU(2) x U(1) group of the electroweak sector and for the quarks it's a representation of the the SU(3) x SU(2) x U(1) group, since the quarks are charged under all interactions.

If the total mass is interdependent, then does the total mass contain both matter and antimatter masses like this:
Mass = Matter × Antimatter.
E.g. (hypothetical),

The Strange Quark’s mass == Matter(59×59×31×31×3×3) × Antimatter(3) × 1.051798216785732 eV/c^2?

The mass of gluons without the fluctuations like quarks = 59×59×31×31×31×3×3×1 = 933322239 eV/c^2.?
Photons have many different masses, including very low-energy masses. The mass of a photon == 31×a/b eV/c^2.?
The Higgs Boson's mass == 59×59×59×31×31×3×3×3×(3+2)×(3+14)×1.000404952049279 == 125100000000
eV/c^2 or 59×31×31×31×31×3×3×3×(3+1)×(3+7) == 58846758120 eV/c^2 (The hypothetical mass of a matter or antimatter Higgs super-fermion that has an undetectable -1-x Charge or +1+x Charge while x>0.) or 59×59×59×31×31×3×3×2.34754606458332×30 == 125100000000 eV/c^2.?
Perhaps, the Higgs Boson decays into matter and antimatter Higgs super-fermions and a photon, before it decays into fermions. Presumably, more groups of elementary particles exist with relatively undetectable Charges.
Likely, there is a fundamental building block with 31 points of existence. Perhaps, they emerged from 32 or 33 fundamental structures like 31 points of existence with a lost point or lost points of existence due to a delayed breaking point (like Bhavanga Upaccheda) and interactions. Most likely, a structure with connected 31 or 32 points of existence can connect with another similar structure by sharing their points of existence with each other like this:
((32 or 31) + (-32 or -31) == 29+((1-1)+(1-1)+(1-1) or (1-1)+(1-1))-29 == 29+(x+y+z or y+z)-29. If x+y+z=3a or y+z=2a, and a=0, then 29+(3a or 2a)-29 == 29+(3x0 or 2x0)-29 == 59 points of existence with 3 or 2 potential gaps == 59×(built-in 3-3 or 2-2 symbolic gap) == 59(3/3 or 2/2 potentiality).
Arguably, 31 planes of existence could emerge if they depend on 31 types of possible connections between two connected fundamental streams of existence. If the three neutral gaps ((1-1)+(1-1)+(1-1)) between the connected two streams of existence became a reason to originate a plane of existence like the third plane of existence, then two neutral gaps between two connected streams of existence (61(built-in 2-2 symbolic gap)) could create the second plane of existence. Similarly, four neutral gaps between two connected streams of existence (57(built-in 4-4 symbolic gap)) could create the fourth plane of existence, and so on.

When God built the world, he needed an absolute ruler to measure space, an absolute clock to measure time. This is light. Then the light was kneaded together in space-time and became matter. Space-time is not a container for matter, not a stage for matter, but "you are in me and I am in you", becoming part of matter. Light is their dominator. Therefore, when we say that virtual particles are transmitting interactions [1], they are actually interactions mediated by light and space-time, and virtual particles are only a kind of "pronoun".
We should be aware of the special nature of light. Many physicists believe that photons have no special characteristics compared to other elementary particles [2]. Why do we choose to ignore the basic facts?
1) The speed of light is independent of the inertial system in which the observer is located, and becomes the basis of Special Relativity‡, the limiting criterion of motion. This alone is sufficient to declare that the photon is not in the same position as any other particle.
2) The speed of light is independent of the inertial system in which the light source is located*, and the speed of light seen by the observer remains the same no matter at what speed (and in what direction) the light source is moving. This one determines the absoluteness of light's own background spacetime, and provides a reference standard for relative spacetime. The speed of motion of any other particle is closely related to the reference frame.
3) Photons have an infinite variety of continuity (ν→∞), while any other particle in the Standard Model [1] has only one. Or group them together, in symmetrical terms, a finite number of generations. A more symmetrical statement would be that a continuous infinite number of photons corresponds to a discrete infinite number of matter particles. But there are only a few kinds of matter particles that can exist stably. If we haven't missed it, the distribution of discrete matter particles, from lowest to highest, should be, x → neutrinos (three generations) → x → electrons (three generations) → x → quarks (three generations) → x → ....... Where x represents particles that are undiscoverable in their very short lifetimes, or their energies are too high to have been discovered yet. We believe that black holes line up in this series[4].
4) Photons express energy-momentum from infinitely small to infinitely large without limit. The energy of any elementary particle in the Standard Model is determined.
5) Light is in eternal motion and cannot be accelerated, which determines that photons are particles without mass. This is the essence that distinguishes photons from other particles [3].
6) A free photon has no gravitational field**, or its gravitational field potential is 0. Any other particle has a gravitational field.
7) The polarization of a photon is different from the spin of a particle.
8) Light is the only particle that does not interact with its own kind, they only interfere superpositionally, and any interference disappears as soon as it does not interact with other matter (e.g. the screen). Any other particle interacts with its own kind.
9) Any two photons of the same frequency are absolutely identical in absolute space. However, any two electrons cannot overlap, and the difference in spatial location causes them not to be absolutely identical†.
10) The speed of light is constant in any spacetime context and in any medium¶. This point determines that the spacetime of GR, the spacetime of SR, and the spacetime of QM must be the same spacetime[5]. And any other particle will change its velocity not only when interacting, but also in a gravitational field.
Please feel free to add to this and welcome different points of view.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note
* The process of photon emission: from a light source in a particular inertial system to a photon in absolute space, where the interface can only be light itself.
† I am not sure how this differs from the all-homogeneity that determines statistical properties, Bose statistics, Fermi statistics.
‡ Any "relativity", relative space-time, relative energy-momentum, arises because of interactions and the need for conservation of energy-momentum during the interactions.
¶ The change in the velocity of light in a medium is only the result of an external observer's observation; it is the result of a change in space-time within the medium. Nowhere does light appear to change its velocity.
** If a photon is in a gravitational field, its energy owns the gravitational field as it matches it. This is compatible with GR.

[3] The only possibility for a photon to manifest mass is from the non-axial action of matter particles on it. That is, any action that exists at an angle to the direction of propagation of light, z, is capable of experiencing the mass of the photon. Note that our criterion for determining mass is the presence or absence of "damping" in its own motion. The structure and motion of the photon have a definite directionality, and other particles do not have to distinguish between the directionality of their structure and the directionality of their motion (or we don't know that yet), and their structure can be considered isotropic. So using E=mc^2 applied to photons is not correct, because when there is no interaction, the photon must not have mass. When there is an interaction, the mass of the photon is simply the mass felt by the other. The photon does not hold. Whereas any other particle will hold a changed mass after the interaction. For example, when an electron is accelerated, his mass changes according to the Lorentz transformation.

Appreciate your imagination.
But there are some details that need to be clarified.
For example, in your sentence "As a result, four elements of the universe: Space, Time, Energy and Matter can all be created together from None at the Singularity in Big Bang Explosion.", what is "energy" and "matter"? What is the relationship between them? How can energy and matter be created from None, or from the Big Bang singularity? You could go on to ask, what is "None"? Why does "none" exist? what is a "singularity"? Where it comes from? How do you physically distinguish between a singularity in this equation and a singularity in another different equation? If you're going to set them up as axioms, on what grounds? Without reasonable answers to questions such as these, we will lose the basis for further research.

Fermions have four properties: charge, spin moment, mass and gravitational field.
1) Why don't we consider the spin moment as an effect of "magnetic charge", so that we don't need to look for magnetic monopoles [1][2][3].
2) If this is correct, we can divide the four properties into two pairs, charge e, magnetic charge g [4]; mass m and gravitational field G.
3) We will find that e and g are inseparable (except, it seems, for neutrinos) and m and G are definitively inseparable. e satisfies Gauss's theorem for the electric field and g can likewise satisfy Gauss's law for the magnetic field, as long as it appears in bipolar form.
4) So, why four properties instead of one or more? In what way and in what relationship would these four properties be set in one?

fermions like electrons have no need to obey "internal symmetry groups" as you write. On the contrary, we derive these symmetry groups from observations on particles. Yesterday we knew nothing about these groups, tomorrow we will come up with something else.

While checking whether the elementary particle reaction is possible, we multiply parity of each particle on left hand side and right hand side and check whether they are equal or not whereas we add energy on left hand side and right hand side and check whether they are equal or not. What determines whether we have to add or multiply ?
Relevant answer
Answer
In elementary particle reactions, the parity of each particle and the energy conservation must be considered. Parity is a quantum mechanical property that describes how a particle behaves under spatial inversion, which is a reflection of the coordinates of the particle about a chosen origin.
When checking whether a reaction is possible or not based on parity, we multiply the parity of each particle on the left-hand side by the parity of each particle on the right-hand side of the reaction. This is because parity is a multiplicative quantum number, meaning that the total parity of the system is obtained by multiplying the parities of the individual particles.
On the other hand, energy conservation is a conservation law that requires the total energy of the system before the reaction to be equal to the total energy of the system after the reaction. In this case, we add the energy on the left-hand side of the reaction to the energy on the right-hand side of the reaction and check whether they are equal or not.
Therefore, the decision to add or multiply depends on the property being considered. Parity is a multiplicative property and energy conservation is an additive property.

(This also answers the criticism that the natural and the artificial shouldn't be mixed. The discussion takes the view that “natural” and “artificial/technological” are the same thing – and explains HOW they are the same thing)
Let's begin with a statement I read recently, “Special relativity is the most fundamental, and thoroughly proven, theory in all physics.” I won’t question that but I will suggest that we consider quantum gravity (QG). There’s no theory of quantum gravity at present but modern physics seems to have little doubt that we will have a successful theory one day. Despite the enormous success of general relativity, that theory will require adjustments to fit in with QG. Quantum mechanics will also need modifications to fit in, as Einstein realized when he called it incomplete. In all history, there has never been a single theory that could be called 100% perfect in the sense that it explained every detail forever, and never needed refinements – and there will never be such a theory. Our period of history is no different and that other product of Einstein’s brain (special relativity) has brought great advances but must inevitably endure the same fate of being refined.
May I suggest possible modifications to the above theories – not to attempt to compete with quantum mechanics or the relativity theories but merely to demonstrate that refinements of them are conceivable.
First, quantum mechanics –
Reliance on bodily senses – extended to our technology – tells us things and events are distinct and separate. Acknowledging the correctness of this frame of reference means there are countless particles forming the cosmos. Recognizing the truth of a different point of view means these particles are unified by the action of advanced and retarded waves into one particle* - whether it be classified as a boson or fermion (or both). The interpretation of particles being in two or more places at once can be reinterpreted as being in one position i.e. unipositional, from the Latin ūnus meaning one. This unipositioned particle interferes with itself since it’s composed of self-intersecting Mobius strips which, because mass is united with spacetime, account for spacetime’s curvature. Unipositional quantum mechanics also means every particle is entangled with every other.
* "When we solve (19th-century Scottish physicist James Clerk) Maxwell's equations for light, we find not one but two solutions: a 'retarded' wave, which represents the standard motion of light from one point to another; but also an 'advanced' wave, where the light beam goes backward in time. Engineers have simply dismissed the advanced wave as a mathematical curiosity since the retarded waves so accurately predicted the behavior of radio, microwaves, TV, radar, and X-rays. But for physicists, the advanced wave has been a nagging problem for the past century."
("Physics of the Impossible" by Michio Kaku, 2009, Penguin Books, p. 276)
Second, addressing the subjects “non-causal” and “at once” –
All mass is composed of gravitational and electromagnetic waves, according to vector-tensor-scalar (VTS) geometry inspired by the title of Einstein's 1919 paper "Do gravitational fields play an essential role in the structure of elementary particles?" Both types of waves possess retarded and advanced components which cancel each other and entangle all masses. Wick rotation (time) is built into the Mobius strips and figure-8 Klein bottles composing (respectively) electromagnetism's photons and gravitation's gravitons. Therefore, all time (the entire past and present and future) is united into one thing just as all space and all mass are united into one thing. If time only passed rectilinearly - from past to present to future - the idea of waves travelling back in time would make no sense at all. But if time is curvilinear - with past, present, and future interconnected - time must be able to move from future to present to past.
(Unity of past/present/future may remove the issue of non-simultaneity – in special relativity – because the timing or sequence of events being different in different frames of reference can only exist if past/present/future are separate. The concepts of cause and effect are no longer separate when all periods of time are united, and everything can happen “at once”. This is similar to watching a DVD – every event on the DVD exists at once since the whole DVD exists but we’re only aware of sights and sounds occurring in each tiny fraction of a second.)
Third, proposing faster-than-light travel (a feature of special relativity is light-speed as the universal speed limit).
The Riemann hypothesis, proposed in 1859 by the German mathematician Georg Friedrich Bernhard Riemann, is fascinating. It seems to fit these ideas on various subjects in physics very well. The Riemann hypothesis doesn’t just apply to the distribution of prime numbers but can also apply to the fundamental structure of the mathematical universe’s space-time. Cosmic maths incorporates
1) topology (the two-dimensional Mobius strip and figure-8 Klein bottle which is immersed [not embedded] in three dimensions),
2) BITS aka electronics’ BInary digiTS, or base 2 maths, which encode the topology,
3) the real and imaginary numbers of Wick rotation (time),
4) vector-tensor-scalar geometry, describing interaction between photons and gravitons, and
5) the Mobius Matrix, combining the topological Mobius and mathematics' Matrix to explain higher dimensions.
How does the Riemann Hypothesis support Faster-Than-Light travel? Answer – Using the axiom that there indeed are infinitely many nontrivial zeros on the critical line (calculations have confirmed the hypothesis to be true to over 13 trillion places), the critical line is identified as the y-axis of Wick rotation (stated above to be the time component of space-time). This suggests the y-axis is literally infinite and that infinity equals zero. In this case, it is zero distance in time and space. Travelling zero distance is done instantly and is therefore faster-than-light travel.
It must be stressed again that I’m not saying the above ideas are either correct or incorrect. I’m merely seeking to show that modifications to special relativity, general relativity, and quantum mechanics are indeed possible!

Using energy momentum invriant and work of Louis de Broglie on matter waves we can obtain an invariant form of Lorentz Force by differentialing modified form of energy momentum invariant which satisfies Einsteins field equations. The second term in the formula involves particle frequency. This term makes the Lorentz Force invariant. This term is missing in general relativity. With this invariant formula one can derive invariant form of gravitational redshift . The derivation in general relativity is not invariant. Also this second term plays important role in introducing gravity in electromagnetic wave.

From Linus Pauling's ( one of the founders of the fields of quantum chemistry and molecular biology. His contributions to the theory of the chemical bond include the concept of orbital hybridization and the first accurate scale of electro-negativities of the elements. ), it's been known that the properties and arrangement of atoms in molecules is dictated by their sub-atomic structure, and thus influences the reactions with other atoms and molecules, ie. such aspects as if they are endothermic or exothermic.
So while, for example, the different isotopes (sub-atomic structure) an atom might have some effect on chemical reactions because of there slightly different masses, and certainly extreme things happen in plasma chemistry ( like the leading edges of a hyper-sonic vehicle ), the ordinary course of events, atoms in chemical reactions remain intact at the sub-atomic level, the basic effect s that gross properties like their kinetic energy ( movement ) or solubility is what changes. So once you get past easily ripping away the electrons and start breaking apart the nucleolus and breaking apart baryons like protons and baryons, it requires stellar energies.
So, 'No' a forest fire at a physical level has no effect at all at the sub-atomic fundamental particle level.

In f(R, T) gravity, we obtain baryon to entropy ratio 15g_b(dot(R)+dot(T))/g_*M_D^2T_D. My question is how is this expression formed?
Relevant answer
Answer
CP violation means that eigenstates of the interaction Hamiltonian aren't, also, eigenstates of the operator that realizes the combination of charge conjugation and parity. Equivalently, the interaction Hamiltonian doesn't commute with the operator CP.
Now while it's possible to set torsion consistently to zero, in the absence of fermions, it's not possible to couple fermions to the metric, in a way that's, in general, consistent with vanishing torsion. This then leads to the possibility of an additional source of CP violation, that's, anyway, useful, since one open question is how to explain the matter/antimatter asymmetry in the Universe. But to understand all that, it's necessary to understand the background material. This article: https://arxiv.org/pdf/0911.1636.pdf might be useful, but a course in general relativity, that, actually, addresses the issue of coupling fermions to a curved metric is mandatory. This: http://physics.iith.ac.in/HEP_Physics/slides/poplawskitalk.pdf might be a good summary.

What kind of infinities appear if any due this adopted model?
And why is this model still used today in quantum theories? I can see that historically this model has served its purpose since for example we cannot measure any finite physical size for the electron but wondering as if this model is not causing in modern physics more problems than the merits it offers?
What prevents us to adopt today a more physical "dressed" model for elementary particles having for example a finite charge radius at rest?

Thank you very much Sir for your expert input.
However, if this is formilized so well why there are many references in the literature and even consensus expresed that the size of the mass of the electron has an upper limit size<10-17m ? Is that not a contradiction with the estblished foemulation? From where this value comes from? Is it a derivation or experimentally found? What is this size? Crossection or radius? How they can define experimentally a size that is clerly larger than the Uncertainty? Is this by ansatz derived? What are the assumptions made in order to derive this size upper limit?
The most known dressed electron (i.e. charge radius) value, theoretically derived is the classical radius of the electrron:
r= α0α2 ~2.8χ10-15 m. From where they get this <10-17m? Is that for a free electron at rest?
How we can give a size for the electron if we don't have a clue (apart that is has perfect near field spherical charge distribution in space experimentally found) of its topology if it has indeed a volume?
According to my research the topology of the dressed electron is not exactly a sphere since it is referring only to the charge topology (sphere) and not the also important magnetic moment topology (a straight fluxgate). The proposed complete topology of the charge of the electron including also its magnetic dipole moment topology resembles this here:
The above proposed topology of the dressed electron at rest complies with the Lorentz group that obeys the quadratic equation on R4 :
(t, x, y, z) |--> t2 -x2 -y2 -z2
The four connected components are non-simply connected and therefore this strongly infers that in a three-dimensional Euclidean space the electron would have a non-simply connected 3D topology as demonstrated in our proposed dressed electron model (see animation above).
Also in our proposed dressed electron model the coupled magnetic dipole charge and electric charge constituting the unified EM charge of the electron under this topology, the mass of the electron is the total EM flux focused in a dimensionless point, center of mass, located at the center of the proposed horn spheroid (https://mathworld.wolfram.com/HornTorus.html) topology of the electron (see figure). Therefore there is no conflict between dressed electron model and the accepted bare model thus a dimensionless point massive particle.
Actually it explains how both models bare and dressed can coexist without conflict. The radius is of the proposed unified bare-dressed electron model is the reduced Compton wavelength ƛ~3.86x10-13m larger radius as the classicall and therefore allowing a surface velocity equal with c or less and therefore classically explaining the known spin angular momentun value of the electron (√3/2)ħ as being generated by actually the electorn physically spinning as first suggested by

The density of space (medium) can change the speed of light.

The Fine-structure constant (α) = 1/137 or 0.007297351. The reduced Planck constant (ħ) =h/2π. h/ħ = 6.283185311. So, the 6.283185311 makes α = 0.007297351 × 6.283185311 = 1/22. Is it a particle? or 1:22:1==24?). Is it a unitless fundamental constant that bases on a fundamental structure of particles?

I discovered a calculation that helped me to find a few mathematical interactions like elementary particles, quantum foam, etc. And Using that calculation, I have tried to explain the fundamental nature of the Planck constant, wave functions, Big Bang/symmetry breaking, Black Holes, Dark Matter/many worlds, force moments, quantum gravity, etc.
What is your answer (best theory)? or what is your reaction to the 0(Zero)Theory?

Stam Nicolis, Thanks for your comment and reply. I hope you will consider reading fully. The 4 great fundamental units of forms/ghosts are called ‘4 mahā bhūtā’. Bhūta (in Pali) is another name for “ghost” because of its elusive nature. I found a lot of details about paramount (‘Paramartha’) facts in Buddhism that are similar to the results of the calculation of dimensional interactions. Surprisingly, that is a kind of verification of the results as well.
Eg:
i. “The 4 Great/Fundamental units of Forms/Ghosts (Pali: ‘Catu Mahā Bhūtā’) *(5)”
ii. “The Pure Eight (‘Suddhāṭṭhaka’) *(5)”
iii. “28 Material Forms/Phenomena (‘Rūpa’) *(6)”
iv. “52 Mental Factors (‘Chetasika') *(7)”
v. “The 4 Innumerable Aeons (the 4 ‘Asaṃkhyeya Kalpas’) in The Great Aeon (‘Mahā-Kalpa’) *(8)”
vi. “The Lifetime of a ‘Matter Area’ (‘Rūpa-Kalāpa’) is equal to 17 Mind/Heart-mind (‘Chitta’) moments/conscious-moments (‘Cittakkhaṇas’), or 51 short instants (17X3 = 51); as there are 3 short instants in a moment of mind (‘Chitta’) *(9)”
I continued the calculation as a ‘differential equation’, and then I discovered 8 formations of dimensions first. But I didn’t care about it much until I heard the word ‘Suddhāṭṭhaka’ in Buddhism. In many places, I have explained the similarities between the results of the calculation and the explanations in Buddhism about the process of the universe.

Forrest Noble: "... but not related to the supposed expansion of space."
Expansion of space ? I just imagine flying apart of astronomical systems. We obviously agree in that apparent radius Ru of the Universe is determined by distance of sight rather than by limitation of space, don't we? This view also seems to comply with observation of fully developed galaxies right at the edge of the Universe, which according to Big Bang theory should be assigned to very early stages of the Universe.

I think, when describing any object, it is advisable to try several mathematical approaches. From the point of view of physics and technology, of course, the most adequate of them will be the one that best matches the data of observations and experiments. And from the point of view of mathematics - each investigated object will open new, non-trivial connections between various mathematical theories.

Hello, I just wanted to ask why can we not split and electron. I understand that an electron is a fundamental particle, but if it has a nonzero mass why cant you split it in half to get two different masses.
p.s. Im a completely novice in physics struggling to finish my chemistry degree!
Relevant answer
Answer
There are many possible ways that an electron can evolve into other particles, depending on the energy. As an electron interacts with the vacuum, at some point the "electron" ceases to be a localized and simple thing. The waves induced in the vacuum can take many forms. The most useful representation (my own preference) is soliton solutions of the nonlinear Schrodinger equation, but the more we probe the stable vacuum states, the more complex and wonderful the examples.
You might be interested in electron pairs, and electron-positron pair. The electron and positron can bind with only Coulomb attraction balancing rotational forces. But at very close distances the magnetic dipole force will dominate. Because there are several possible stable states for magnetic dipoles - parallel, co-linear, dynamic during short collisions - the outcomes and properties vary. Because a magnetic dipole force can stabilize the pair and not allow them to annihilate, varying amounts of energy can be stored in the bonds. So the states will be quantized, but nonlinear. Not simple integer steps. A good model is the kinds of higher order modes for cantilever (or string) vibrational states with nonlinear material properties and hysteresis.
The same bound states will occur for proton-antiproton, neutrino-antineutrino, quark-antiquark or any other particles with non-zero magnetic moments. Since moments can be induced in many situations, I (personally) just assume there will be a magnetic component in every interaction, and just calculate its values and states. Since the magnetic energy density is pretty well defined and a useful representation, I also use that to convert to other units, as a first approximation.
The "stuff" that electrons and their fields are made of has many names. I have to use them all for the Internet Foundation, as I try to fit all the Internet information into standard units and representations. But "physical vacuum" or "quark gluon plasma" I find to be the most useful and commonplace. And that is just a very human habit of people looking to fluids and gases and flows and properties of things around to represent things we cannot directly see.
Personally, I represent the electron as a field of much smaller, magnetic dipole active, uncharged particles. To be specific, about 7 million for each electron. That is because I needed a model for the gravitational field at the earths surface for routine calculations and estimates. So it is the mass of a particle, in equilibrium with an ideal gas at standard temperature and pressure, where the speed of the particles is the speed of light. That works out to about one 7 millionth the mass of the electron.
Then, you are not just working with lumps or large swirls of space that you can "half an electron" or "1/3 an electron", but any combination. It is out detectors and generators and sensor that set the expected values of things. Not what reality can provide or do.
So the "vacuum" I work with has physical properties - density, velocity, vorticity, pressure, temperature, compressibility, viscosity, all kinds of diffusion properties, stable states, compressional waves, transverse waves, chaotic flows, vortices, folding, bifurcations, dendritic flows -- a very long list. Why? Because I read and scan hundreds of thousands of papers and these human models of what is going on with things like fields, flows, waves, properties, behaviors, spectra, sizes, textures -- are what people say when they try to describe what they are thinking about and seeing.
So how does it get sorted out? Well, actually it seldom does. The engineers and product designers and applications groups just keep making new things - and the modelers and theorists play catch-up. At least most of the time. But that is changing slowly (I have to look at the whole world, there are a few groups who make steady progress in methods and approach. They go sort of in one direction for a while, then key people lose interest, die, retire, or brash new ones come and say what they want to do. It is interesting, chaotic, and very human and organic. Just not very efficient or fast.)
The best model I have for the vacuum - where a simple stationary or unaccelerated electron is just one toy model - is a cold compressible, nearly inviscid, liquid that supports transverse and longitudinal waves. Its compressibility is measured by the Lortentz equations since they are identically the same in form as the compressible flow equations when trying to exceed the speed of sound in air. The vacuum can cavitate and boil. You can heat it enough to form bubbles and boules. It can have vortices. More practically, it can have a spectrum of vorticity. The quark gluon plumes and hadronization and particle formation are just like jets of gas phase material in a colder fluid. And, when the pressure is intense, inside a quark star core, it will crystalize and release enough energy for a big bang, depending on the amount and distribution of quark gluon material and its state.
Part of why I (personally, I don't tell others what to think or do) use this model for organizing my model of the world around me, is because GW170817 showed that the speed of light and the speed of gravity are identical. Not close, but identical. What that told me, after spending more than 50 years studying electrodynamics and the gravitational potential, is that gravity and electromagnetism share that same underlying potential. And that potential (in Joules/kg) can best be represented (for practical things) as a compressible fluid material that can also freeze, boil, cavitate, and other things.
You don't really say what you are doing, or why you ask. The world (at least the Internet that I study every day) is filled with people looking at tiny facets of things. It doesn't matter if the "electron" is blue or pink or black or white or smart or dumb. What do you want to do, if you figure it out? Me, for the survival of the human species, because that is what I determined the purpose of the Internet is for, I am trying to encourage the groups working on warp drives, faster than light vehicles and communications, atomic fuels, 100 times smaller fuel tanks for rockets based on atomic fuels that are safe and practical. Better memory storage, analog computational algorithms that can usefully bolt into digital networks and provide fast estimates of initial states that will converge quickly in traditional digital algorithms (the analog makes a fast good guess, then it gets verified, it bolts into the existing systems so there is not a lot of re-engineering required).
The laser vacuum experiments are going to probe the properties of the vacuum with photons and lasers. You can do the same with electrons, muons, neutrinos, protons, and the whole range of particles, fields, clusters and molecules. I saw a nice detector yesterday using molecular states rather than simple atomic transitions for better inertial measurements. Lower power, more precise, faster, and lower cost. I see that sort of thing every day. And it is accelerating. But much chaos, massive waste (the Internet is only operating at at about 0.5% efficiency and things are taking years for things that should only take a day).
Not sure if you wanted this kind of reply. You have to know what you want to do, and why it is important, to get really good answers. Collecting trivia and memorizing facts fills a lifetime, but it not very productive. Use your electron for something worthwhile.

Question

It is unlikely that I will get a specific answer to this question, so I propose to start a discussion on the geometry of the standard model.
The standard approach to this question is that, in addition to space-time, the space of internal symmetries of the Lagrangian is postulated, which determines the equation of motion of an elementary particle. In other words, in the standard approach, the invariance of the group action on the equation of motion is used as an additional internal space.
It would be interesting to know what kind of geometry is hidden behind the standard model of elementary particles. In this regard, let me share my thoughts on the geometric foundation of the Standard Model in this discussion.
The author's interpretation is as follows. Matter moves along the surface of a seven-dimensional sphere. At the same time, the vacuum form of matter is a Clifford torus S3xS3 with three-dimensional spheres moving in the process of evolution in circles so that the radius of one sphere increases and the radius of the corresponding circle decreases, and vice versa, the radius of the second sphere decreases, and the radius of the corresponding circle increases. As a result, the shape of the vacuum is the product of the Clifford torus and the time torus S1xS1. In this case, the Minkowski space-time (with the signature +1,-3) is wound on the product of a three-dimensional sphere of a large radius and a circle of a time torus of a small radius, and the additional (dual) Minkowski space (with the signature +3,-1) is wound on the product of a three-dimensional sphere of a small radius and a circle of a time torus of a large radius. Thus, a doublet of Minkowski spaces, which is an 8-dimensional space with a neutral metric is wound on the product of the Clifford torus and the time torus.
Within the framework of this model, elementary particles are associated with the minimum length closed lines of the product of the Clifford torus and the time torus, and the mass of elementary particles is associated with the pseudo-Euclidean length of the corresponding curve in 8-dimensional space with a neutral metric. Thus, massless particles lie on a compactified isotropic cone. And the most interesting thing in this geometric model is that the group U(1)xSU(2)xSU(3) naturally arises as the symmetry group of the compactified isotropic cone of the doublet of Minkowski spaces.
Relevant answer
Answer
So, what can we say about the masses of fermions within the framework of the geometric interpretation of their closed curves on the product of the Clifford torus and the time torus? First, it should be noted that closed curves lying on a compactified isotropic cone (generating the gauge symmetry group) have zero length, and therefore can be associated with gauge bosons. Second, since for stable particles the time torus can be replaced by a circle, we will first look for minimal closed curves that entwine the product of the Clifford torus and the circle.
In addition, by studying the topology of nodes on the product of spheres S3 × S3 × S1, we can simplify this product to a 3-dimensional torus S1 × S1 × S1 without prejudice to understanding the topological properties of the node, and for clarity consider a closed ribbon lying on a 2-dimensional classical torus S1 × S1. Then, due to the fact that the node on the torus corresponds to the fundamental group of its complement, isomorphic to the corresponding braid group, it is quite fair to compare the elements of this group with the fundamental components of the elementary particle, as is done in the topological Bilson-Thompson model. Finally, note that developing this approach to the case of unstable particles of subsequent generations of fermions, it will be necessary to turn to the 4-torus.

With a mean life time of E-25s for the W an Z bosons and E-22s (predicted) for the Higgs boson nobody has directly observed these particles why these particles are not categorized as virtual particles?
Also with such a short lifetime there is no way to find out if their mass is inertial and even measure their linear speed.
For example the Z boson is the only neutral elementary particle (except the Higgs) boson of spin 1 without charge resembling strongly the photon and and the gluon which have also spin 1 and charge 0, but strangely opposite to the photon and gluon, has mass? Why?
What is this mass for the Z boson literature is referring to? Is is a E=mc^2 equivalent mass assigned to it to characterize its energy or is real inertial mass?
Do experiments exist which actually measured the linear speed of the Z boson? I can not find any in the literature. If it is found to travel with the speed of light that would mean that it has no inertial mass but only energy momentum like the photon.
It is hard for me to believe that an elementary particle with spin 1 and zero charge could ever have real mass (inertial).
I believe that we have to stop to attribute spin and charge to virtual particles like these which are not stable in nature.

According to the Standard Model, protons are stable because baryon number is conserved (chiral anomaly for exception). Therefore, protons will not decay into other particles on their own, because they are the lightest baryon. It has long been considered to be a stable particle, but recent developments of grand unification models have suggested that it might decay with a half-life of about 10^30 - 10^35 years. Currently the most precise results come from the Super-Kamiokande water Cherenkov radiation detector in Japan: a 2015 analysis placed a lower bound on the proton's half-life of 1.67×10^34 years.
Relevant answer
Answer
The proton refuses to decay! So, GUT is now gutted, along with GRT and other “continuous field” based theories of official physics. The game of mathematical fantasies in physics is over! Please see:
Einstein’s artificial “spacetime field” as an abstract mathematical structure was created to drown the “evil (particle) quanta”. Additional and far more thicker “fields” – Quantum, Higgs, QCD etc., were fabricated in thought (through mathematics) to prevent any massive particle quanta from raising its head above the “fields” in “free” state for any length of time – “Matter (particle) is supposed to be a Myth”!
But Einstein himself just about a year before his death had already brought an untimely demise of his “continuous field” fantasy, in a letter to his friend Michele Besso (1954): “I consider it quite possible that physics cannot be based on the field concept, i.e., continuous structure. In that case, nothing remains of my entire castle in the air, gravitation theory included, (and of) the rest of modern physics” A.

Is it empirically proven that there is an actual and not only apparent increase in mass at relative velocity? If that were the case and the moving object was as big as a spacecraft, which of its particles would increase its mass? If the elementary particles that make up the body increase their mass, why does this happen? Especially they are contained in larger groups, in other words they are at rest or their movement and speed does not change with respect to the body that contains them. Quarks, for example, do not change their movement relative to the hadron that contains them. Relative velocity will relate to the body as a whole, not its constituent particles.
And how the mass increases despite the absence of a universal frame of reference, that is, the observer in the moving object can suppose itself as at rest and the other is moving.
The same question and discussion above can be mentioned on the change in length.
Relevant answer
Answer
Yes and very clearly so: When two particles are accelerated to higher speeds, collision at the LHC produces particles with a combined larger mass than the "rest" mass of the two original particles.
So this mass increase is of physical nature.
I believe it finds its physical explanation in the wave nature of particles. At high speed, the standing disturbance that they represent in the fabric of space, has to bridge a larger distance as modeled by a lightclock. So the particle which is a disturbance in the fabric of space, represents a larger amount of disturbance over space --> but as it is a "standing" disturbance (as opposed to freely traveling EM waves) that is what causes "inertia" =mass.
REpresenting a larger disturbance over time, i.e. ticking faster at the height of your head rather than feet, also comes with a larger amount of change over (space and) time what is quantified as energy, and as it is standing with a larger amount of inertia or mass.

1) First Time Physical Observation in Real Time of the Magnetosphere (i.e. stationary magneton) of the Electron and its discrete magnetic flux lines geometry.
Real time observation of a stationary magneton publication:
Probing the, Quantum Magnet, field (QFM) of ferromagnets with the quantum magnetic optic Ferrolens with minimum Quantum Decoherence (QDE) and macroscopically projecting the field and flux geometry of a stationary magneton. Decoherence mechanism explained responsible for transforming the Quantum Magnet to its Classical macroscopic magnetic dipole field imprint. Magneton observed as a confined dipole energy vortex. With other words, the Ferrolens preserves and shows the Quantum Magnet field image of a macroscopic magnet which resembles the intrinsic magnetic dipole field of the electron thus a stationary magneton. Our experimental research shows the electron geometry to be a dipole vortex energy flow of virtual photons.
It is a well - known facet of quantum field theory that everything can be described in quantum mechanical terms . The complex interactions between a physical system and its surroundings ( environment ) , disrupt the quantum mechanical nature of a system and render it classical under ordinary observation . This process is known as decoherence.
Enrich Joos from Erich Joos and H. D. Zeh version of quantum decoherence (QDE) theory, states that "decoherence can not explain the measurement problem".
The premise of the research here presented is by probing the Quantum Magnet field of a macroscopic ferromanget where electrons have minimum linear relativistic motion and by circumventing the problem of decoherence (QDE), by using an observation quantum device with minimum QDE but which can display non-decohered quantum information at the macroscale, thus the ferrolens, we can obtain and observe a non-relativistic model for the stationary magneton.
In a way we can say that the Ferrolens and method acts like a "giant magnification" quantum microscope allowing seeing physically the actual elementary particle, the electron, down to its discrete magnetic flux lines shown and geometry.
With other words, the Ferrolens preserves and shows the Quantum Magnet Field (i.e. outline shaped as an 8 figure) holographic imprint (i.e. static snapshot image) of a macroscopic magnet which resembles the intrinsic magnetic dipole field of the electron thus a stationary magneton.
This technology and scientific experimental breakthrough has tremendous potential for the fundamental research of elementary particles and Quantum Theory in general and an impact in all physical sciences with unforeseen yet results in deciphering the 4 elementary phenomena and their correlation in our Universe, thus Electromagnetism, Strong Nuclear Force, Weak Nuclear Force and Gravity. It may be as well that for the first time the Heisenberg Uncertainty has been experimentally circumvented!

2) Does the electron physically spin?
Although literature regards the electron as point having a quantum mechanical term intrinsic angular momentum associated with spin it is regarded in theory that the electrons do not physically spin. The reasons for this consensus decision and debate counterarguments are best described in this link here, https://chemistry.stackexchange.com/questions/58020/do-electrons-really-spin .
However, by using the new quantum magnetic optic Ferrolens device and method we describe in our research and from light Doppler shift observations and from the dipole vortex geometry of the Quantum Magnet Field (QMF) shown by the ferrolens we can say with a high degree of certainty that the electrons DO physically spin around their magnetic moment axis.

The observations, results of our research and above illustrations match the reported by literature quantum spin helicity-chirality for the electron and also its magnetic spin 1/2.
A detailed and complete analysis of the above initial results experimentally found, concerning the detailed dynamical field geometry model of the electron and characterization will be published in a peer review Journal later this year 2020.

It is known that when the speed of an elementary particle approaches the speed of light, its acceleration by an electric or magnetic field decreases. According to STR, this is due to the nonlinear increase in momentum (mass). Have direct measurements of the momentum been carried out through the pressure exerted by the beam of relativistic particles on the target at different speeds?
The decrease in acceleration may be due not to "relativistic corrections", but to an increase in the friction force against the "physical vacuum".

My initial discussion question was about micromanagement of the current state of sciences. Fortunately, I quickly realized that this topic is too deep and I opted for a more lighter subject “Are black holes sources of the dark matter?”. The main stream science seems to be divided on this issue, and rightfully so, we simply do not understand it enough.
However, if you ask my opinion a purpose of black holes is to pulverize matter, and by doing so reseed the universe. Hence, what pulverizes beyond our ability to detect baryonic, or non-baryonic matter, is a dark matter. So, is it plausible to think of the black holes as being “cosmic mills” that are grinding and pulverizing matter to keep our universe alive, i.e., pumping all the pulverized matter back to where it came from. Your thoughts?
Relevant answer
Answer
Keep in mind, theories that we have today work when particles have mass. Once they become nearly massless, or totally massless, our knowledge no longer applies. Example, we know that matter decays in black holes, and as it decays the high energy gamma-ray bursts are emitted. So how come the light does not escape black holes, but the gamma-rays do. Could it be that the gravity concept only applies for the mass particles? It seems there is more here than what meets the eye.

“…How elementary particles acquire mass and charge?… How does a horse aquire its head?
That is the kind of question science takes for granted, not question...”
The fundamental phenomena/notions “mass” and “charge” in the mainstream physic are indeed ad hoc physical parameters of material objects, that are taken for granted.
However in the Shevchenko-Tokarevsky’s “The Information as Absolute” conception, and the physical model https://www.researchgate.net/publication/273777630_The_Informational_Conception_and_Basic_Physics DOI 10.5281/zenodo.16494, which is based on the conception, these phenomena are essentially clarified.
What are “charge” seems as more that in the mainstream understandable also: Matter is rather simple logical system, which is based on a not large set of fundamental laws/links/constants, where, including, to build unbelievable diversity of the material objects – particles, atoms, molecules, stars…. it becomes be enough to have seems only 4 “fundamental Nature forces”; i.e. “Strong”, “EM”, “Weak”, and “Gravity” Forces; which have different “strengths” and dependences of the strengths on distances between interacting objects.
Every particle are some constantly running close-loop algorithms that are composed from constantly sequentially “flipping” fundamental logical elements (FLE), which have at least 4 independent degrees of freedom at the flipping, which relate to constant moving [with the 4D spped of light] of every material object in the 4D sub-spacetime of Matter’s absolute [5]4D Euclidian spacetime.
However at least two Forces act by using “fields”, which are created by some “charges”, when the charges are specific, additional to the 4 degrees of freedom above, FLE’s degrees of freedom, that “radiate” specific flipping of the ether’s FLEs carrying/obtaining by other particle corresponding momentums.
The two charges above are “electric charge”, when only some particle have such “electrically marked” FLEs, and “gravitational mass”; the last charge every particle has, and so the inertial and gravitational masses are, at least at statics, equivalent.
What are charges and fields of other Forces isn’t so clear.

I personally think that this is the reason why Quantum Mechanics has not yet been reconciled with electromagnetism.
I observed that the confusion seems so deep in the community on this issue that many references erroneously equate Electrodynamics with Maxwell's theory and even equate electrodynamics with electromagnetism, as if only one interpretation had been conceived of.
To summarize the issue, Ludvig Lorenz interpreted both E and B fields of free moving electromagnetic energy as peaking to maximum synchronously at the same time, which is an interpretation that Maxwell disagreed with; while Maxwell's was that both fields have to mutually induce each other while being 180 degrees out of phase for the electromagnetic energy to even exist and propagate, in permanent oscillation on a plane transverse with respect to the direction of motion of the energy in vacuum.
In agreement with Wilhelm Wien's analysis that kinematic mechanics and electromagnetic mechanics should be grounded on an electromagnetic foundation, the Electromagnetic Mechanics of elementary particles project was carried out:
Consistent with Lorenz's concept:
A- Consistent with the invariant speed of light in vacuum.
B- Consistent with EM transverse wave propagation in a supporting medium in vacuum.
Inconsistent with Lorenz's concept:
C- Inconsistent with self-sustaining, default self-guiding and self-propelling at c of localized transversely oscillating electromagnetic energy quanta without any need for a supporting medium.
D- Inconsistent with observed LRC circuits demonstrating that both E and B fields cyclically mutually induce each other while being 180 degrees out of phase timewise.
E- Unable to explain electronic orbitals stability in atoms.
F- Inconsistent with momentum kinetic energy existing as a physical substance and consequently cannot explain the electron magnetic moment anomaly.
G- Inconsistent with the physical existence of magnetic energy and its relation with classical mass.
H- Cannot be reconciled with Quantum Mechanics.
I- Cannot be reconciled with Classical/Relativistic Mechanics.
Consistent with Maxwell's concept:
1- Consistent with the invariant speed of light in vacuum.
2- Consistent with EM transverse wave propagation in a supporting medium in vacuum.

Inconsistent with Maxwell's concept:
9- Nothing.
Short overview:
Maxwell stated that the existence of a sustaining medium that came to be named aether was necessary for his interpretation, because until recently, only one wave concept had been conceived of as being able to sustain a transverse oscillation, which is the same concept still being used to describe and explain shear waves in solid media for example (see "s-waves" in relation with deep Earth sounding).
This means that until today, electromagnetic energy was understood as being a "pulse" in some underlying medium and not as a "physically existing substance" that could self-propel as separate quanta.
Also, Maxwell was studying the behavior of light at the observable macroscopic level and his solution was adequate at the general level for dealing with electromagnetic energy, as witnessed by the so numerous successful applications that electromagnetic energy provides us with. He did not consider the possibility that light might be quantized and actually could be made of separate quanta at the submicroscopic level, which became suspected only 30 years later with Wien's experiments and Planck hypothesis, that was then confirmed by Einstein's photoelectric proof and Compton and Raman scattering.
The de Broglie hypothesis in the 1930's then allowed to conceive of the possibility that a localized photon could be made of a self-sustaining transversely oscillating electromagnetic energy half-quantum, coupled with a longitudinally oriented momentum energy half-quantum, that could then self-propel without any need for a sustaining medium. Maxwell had no way to even imagine such a possibility before de Broglie came up 70 years later with a possible inner structure of a localized photon compliant with his interpretation.
Even in the 1930's, nobody lit up to this possibility, because the community had already adopted the Lorenz interpretation, from which perspective, this cannot logically be conceived of.
For convenience, here is a link to the list of papers formally published between 2007 and 2018 meant to analyze the various conclusions that logically emerge from Maxwell's interpretation at the subatomic level:

Answer
André,
I applaud you for not only starting this thread, but to also include such a concise overview of both the Lorenz and Maxwell consistencies and inconsistencies. I actually found myself lol when I read the Maxwell inconsistency group, which by the way seems to fully support the great necessity for this thread's discussion.
I would like to address the "Moving magnet and conductor problem" (MMCP) which John Hodges brought up, which is a very good point having to do with the mysterious "reference frame" we have all had to wrap our minds around. This MMCP I would say is perhaps very close to the question of the existence of the aether, or perhaps the more politically correct term " supporting medium ", using Andre's terminology. Maxwell believed in the aether, as did most physicists in the 19th century. I was surprised to see that Maxwell's interpretation is actually "consistent with self-sustaining and self-propelling of localized transversely oscillating energy quanta without any need for a supporting medium", but have not had a chance to read Andre's link supporting that statement. I think Maxwell may have stated that the aether was necessary for his interpretation, but unsure (Andre?).
Back to the MMCP...
As the MMCP thought experiment states, the conductor experiences a magnetic force in the frame of the magnet and an electric force in the frame of the conductor, seeming to have two different descriptions depending on the frame of reference of the observer. I think the answer to this is simple if one believes that the aether exists as Maxwell did. That answer is simply that the E and B fields, although unique, interact as one, where say an E induced force is traded or interacted by the B induced force as one trades its potential energy for kinetic, thereby appearing to be two different forces, yet is simply an interaction of the two. But this must happen in the "space" between the magnet and conductor. Therefore there must be some sort of structure between them where these forces interact, an aether.
I personally would like to begin this thread at a 10,000 foot basic level, leaving derivatives, second derivatives, global or gauge invariance aside as we attempt to simply explore the above with perhaps a second thought experiment for a minute:
You're traveling at a constant speed in your vehicle and decide to turn right without changing the speed on your speedometer. You experience a force pushing you to your left, while you react that force with an equal and opposite force with your body. Newton states that your body therefore must be pushing against something. The question is, what is it pushing against?
The short answer must be in the same realm as the term "field" we use to describe both E and B, and furthermore, since this same "inertial" field exists in the vacuum of space, then it also must be associated with properties of epsilon0 and mu0, which are also associated with E and B. Therefore, your body is pushing against something dictated by the same properties which describe electromagnetics. If this is true, then this inertial field must have already been "spun-up" (when you first accelerated) all around you, expecting you and your vehicle to continue at a constant velocity along your initial vector direction prior to making the turn. The same must then be true when you first accelerated, forcing the inertial field to spin-up until reaching that final constant velocity. The inertial forces appear only when a change in direction or velocity occurs, much like electrodynamics.
So, in your inertial frame while you experience a reaction force from the aether, the aether experiences a reaction force from you in it's inertial frame (which is everywhere, also encompassing your reference frame).
In other words, what we typically consider as an E or B field as created by changes in voltage or current, could also very well apply to changes in direction or velocity (respectively). If true, then perhaps all of this is not as complicated as we're making it out to be, if we could simply describe how the aether operates, which I believe I have discovered. It is only because all matter is made up of charges, do we experience the forces we describe as inertia.
Hoping this thought experiment leads to some very constructive interaction here.

If we imagine a person (or his soul) as an elementary particle, then during the energy transition to a more favorable level, energy is released. (if you like this idea we can formulate it together as an article)
Relevant answer
The proof is that which distinguishes the hypothesis from the theory. While there is no evidence we say that it is "written on the water."
Nevertheless, explaining the known to the well-known is a simplified approach, since the theory cannot internally identify its error.
According to the theory that I teach, spontaneous combustion can be caused by any processes with heat generation that occur in solid material or on its surface. This is achieved in an area where heat is greater than heat loss. The question is to determine the source of heat.
For runners on marathon distances and during attacks of epilepsy due to biological processes, body temperature rises to 50 C.
For the accumulation of organic material that is heated by a set of adsorption heat or the heat of microorganisms, after 60 ° C, further reactions begin with the release of heat. Such a process can end with the occurrence of burning. This is a long process.
Self-ignition of a person, I think, happens quickly. Mathematically, it is possible to calculate the required amount of energy for the rapid evaporation of water from a person and the subsequent combustion of organic residues. I do not believe in the sudden modification of the substance of the human body to the ability to react simultaneously with the whole mass with water. (Although there is such a thing as the hydrogen bond cooperativity, which arises and disappears simultaneously throughout the system).
The idea of ​​a person’s energy transition, which occurs under certain conditions, is indirectly expressed by Castaneda. It is described as the result of a specific exercise or condition of a person. By analogy with this example, I consider the first well-documented self-ignition of a person to be the disappearance of Jesus Christ with traces of light on the shroud.

SR and GR are valid to Pedro. Also, the principle of inertial motion, which is due as far back as Galileo, is NOT that there are no special or preferential frames, such as the CMB or other, but that there are no frames in inertial motion where the laws of physics are different to inertial observers.
Apparently, there are several Pedros nowadays in the world of physics and maths, including the well-known Pedro by Bernard d'Espagnat in quantum mechanics, all differing from one another on important or even minor views.
All, here, affirming the view that we live in a 3D world, and time is an independent variable. The consequence is the subject of this discussion, and how it can influence life.
Pedro called himself a die-hard pragmatist. The world he rightly saw was 3D and a passing reference, which he called time. Someone could call Pedro a "realist", even himself described him that way, many times, but others could equally well call him a "platonist".
The muon is an elementary particle similar to the electron, but with a much greater mass, that has a very short lifetime, far too short to reach the sea level. It exemplifies the discussion, as an example.
First, it is indisputable in life that muons, are produced too high to reach us, measured by their own lifetime, but we do see them at sea level.
IF the muon lives longer for maths reasons, as Pedro is at rest and we all live in 3D as Pedro insists, that is not physical. one can't use the word "remember" in that context when one sees a muon at sea level. They just seem to live longer if Pedro is at rest, it is an illusion. Nature is what Pedro sees as objective.
But, IF It makes sense to remember that muons do live longer to Pedro, albeit not to the muon, if Pedro is at rest, and for everyone? It is not just that some calculation says so, anyone can remember. Nature can also be intersubjective. What Pedro sees is then revealed as just subjective.
Then, 4D spacetime is just not an arbitrary math method, then we all live in 4D spacetime, times passes differently for Pedro at rest, than for the muon. That fact is in the future as anyone can remember, not just as one can calculate. Muons will arrive at sea level.
Pedro takes the first view, that 4D spacetime is not physical, just maths, not life. The muon, however, in life, arrives at sea level. We have memories of it, and other events that depend on 4D, such as movement at any speed v > 0.

1. The CMB does not introduce new physics. The SR and GR do NOT work on the basis that there is no preferential or special inertial frame of reference.

In physics, many problems arise in the form of boundary value problems in second order ordinary differential equations. We are discussing here the Matrix Variational Method, as an efficient approach to bound state eigenproblems [1--8], proposed by the author starting in 1977 and used in top peer-reviewed literature in physics, in general [1,6,7] and in the calculation of scaling laws of Rydberg atoms [2], bound states of QM systems [3], bound states of three quarks [4,8], and other areas, such as [5].
We will also use this RG space in a new way, to conduct an open course, as a discussion. This course is physically offered at the same time, in Pasadena, CA.
The objective here is to present the topic as a method in mathematics, for second-year students in college, generally when they see differential equations, not just the epsilons and deltas of calculus, but the more advanced tools and intuition used in physics and maths.
This discussion will aim, as much as possible, to be free of the original connection to physics, in order to be more easily used in other disciplines. It represents the “translation” of a method in physics to mathematics, for general use, while benefiting from the physical intuition that started it.
We will use the theorem that says, “Any second order linear operator can be put into the form of the Sturm-Liouville operator,” and treat the Sturm-Liouville operator in closed-form. This will be done not by using eigenfunctions of any expansion, but an expansion that already obeys the boundary conditions for each case and provides a closed-form expression, which we will calculate following [1-8].
Contributions, and other examples, are welcome.

Demetris,
Thank you for your comment. It reminds me of a story by Isaac Asimov, where the word 'computer', originally meant for humans, became used only by machines, and so no one would even know how to add two numbers themselves, without a computer, until... they rediscovered arithmetic.
So, it seems important, and I will deal with it in the second report, but it includes a misconception. Mathematics is not computing, and more can be learned by understanding how things work, such as scaling laws, instead of blindly solving a differential equation. I see that several times.

The Principle of Locality - any physical event happening at a point has a cause which is located at the same point - or equivalently - in Physical laws the interactions must be between objects located at the same point - has been introduced for a good reason : to prohibit magic. It has lead to the introduction of a new object in Physics : the field of force, which is defined everywhere, interacts with material bodies at their location, and changes by interacting with himself in propagation in the vacuum. A concept upon which all the experiments in Gravitation or Electromagnetism are based.
The strangest thing is to reinvent the idea of field to represent...material bodies.
All the deductions of non locality, from "entanglement experiments", are just a flaw of logic. But they give a nice trick in SciFi, besides magic. After all this is only entertainment...

We generally think of electrons as fundamental building blocks of atoms, elementary subatomic particles with no smaller components to speak of. But according to Swiss and German researchers reporting in Nature , we are wrong to think so. For the first time, the researchers have recorded an observation of an electron splitting into two different quasi-particles, each taking different characteristics of the original electron with it. Using samples of the copper-oxide compound Sr2CuO3, the researchers lifted some of the electrons belonging to the copper atoms out of their orbits and placed them into higher orbits by manipulating them with X-rays. Upon placing them in these higher--and higher-velocity--orbits, the electrons split into two parts, one called a spinon that carried the electron's spin with it, and another called an obitron that carried the electron's orbital momentum with it.

In E8 theory, the space of fermions is "not" a representation space of E8.
Rather, they are living in E8 itself by introducing a susy-like structure.
In E8, all the interactions are represented by its Lie brackets [ , ]_8.
Hence as everyone knows,
[ Boson , Fermion ]_8 = Fermion ( emission & absorption )
namely fermions are representation of the bosonic part of E8 (U1×SU2×SU3), while
[ Fermion , Fermion ]_8 = Boson ( annihilation & pair production ).
Thus, obviously the space of fermions can not be an E8 representation space.
This is a reason why we can treat chiral fermions easily in E8. Unexpectedly, to treat both of chiral left & right fermions
adjoint representation of e8 should be "real" as it is.

The electron, which is considered completely stable, contains a unit electrical charge, not 1/3, and is a fermion, not a boson. Isn't that strange?
The proton, on the other hand, contains 3 quarks, two with charge 2/3 and one with -1/3.
Can't this be a hint that the electron, albeit so stable, might contain a structure of (anti)quarks? Of course, if there is such a structure, the (anti)quarks in the electron are held together not by gluons, but by particles of a field by far stronger.
This is why I ask whether the standard model is closed.
On the other hand, I am aware of a prediction saying that there may exist a gap between zero rest-mass (photons, gluons, etc.) and the mass of the lightest particle. I am also aware that there is an international prize on some proof to be done,
But I don't know details - it's not my domain of competence. So, does the gap exist, or it is yet to be proved?
The meaning of the mass-gap, in my modest understanding, is very non-trivial. It is that we cannot split the basic particles infinitely. We split the atoms and found nuclei and electrons. We split the nuclei and found protons and, neutrons. We split the protons and neutrons and found quarks. The mass-gap would tell us  STOP!!!! Further, you won't be able to split, NO matter how much energy you would invest!!!!

What's missing is the mathematical construction of a Yang-Mills theory, in four dimensions, that takes quantum effects int account. The classical part is now well known, mathematically, it's the quantum part that isn't.
Yang-Mills theories describe massless particles, that transmit interactions that generalize electromagnetism to other Lie groups. The Lie group for the strong interactions is SU(3) and the particles are called gluons. So the mathematical problem is to study this theory-already without quarks-and show that it does define a quantum field theory in four dimensions and that the lightest glueball, a bound state of gluons, has non-zero mass.
This has been done numerically, but proving that the numerical results are mathematically rigorous, i.e. controlling the convergence from finite lattices to inifinite lattices, hasn't been possible in practice.

The reason for formulating the Question:
The question raised by I.C. Teixeira is relevant, and puts in evidence how limited is our knowledge and understanding of the Universe we live in.
From an engineering point of view, we observe reality (the physical world in which we live), we try to understand it, mainly using a cause-effect perspective, we propose a scientific theory, and we try to prove our allegations using abstract models to describe what we observed.
For instance, we observe an attractive force between physical bodies. Sir Isaac Newton brilliantly discovered the Gravitational field, and elegantly proposed a first-order model to measure the gravitational force between two bodies, of mass m1 and m2 at a distance d. The well-known formula F=G m1.m2/square(d) describes the value of such force.
As I understand it, the existence of matter as we know it is the cause behind the effect – the gravitational field. The mass is the model parameter that describes the quantity of matter of a body, made of chemical elements and compounds, well ‘classified’ in the Mendeleev Table of Elements. So, really the existence of the physical matter we find in Nature has an effect – these bodies influence themselves, through an attractive force – Gravitation.
However, we observe that not only attractive forces exist between bodies. In fact, there are repulsive forces too. This is very fortunate, because otherwise if only attractive forces exist, the Universe would finally collapse, or implode. Hence, our observation leads us to another reality of matter. The repulsive forces are the effect of another field of influence among bodies – what we came to call the Electromagnetic Field (EM).
What is the cause behind the EM field? Well, James Clerk Maxwell was a genius who observed these effects, and identified two types of electric charges, which can either exhibit an attractive or repulsive force, depending on the fact that they are of opposite or equal polarity, respectively. Maxwell equations brilliantly describe the EM field and the resulting forces. Again, we are very fortunate to live in such Universe, because information flow and life ultimately depends on it.
So, the reason for my question.
What is the characteristic of matter that we refer as “electric charge”?
What are the physical phenomena that originate such EM fields?
While mass is the model parameter that describes the quantity of matter of a body, what is the physical reality in matter behind what we refer as an electric charge?
Why elementary particles (protons) exhibit an opposite polarity of other elementary particle (electrons)?

Dear friends,
An electric charge creates a field whose energy density everywhere is proportional to the corresponding field intensity in the square. It would be strange if a charge was the reason for the existence of energy and it did not have energy. However, if the charge had energy, it could be regarded as a mass that is not invariant to Lorentz transformations. On the other hand, according to the theory of relativity, e (the charge of the electron) is invariant to the Lorentz transformations. 
What is the correct?
The first is compatible to a unified field theory (charge-matter has the same nature with field); this permits the violation of the conservation principles.
The second is compatible to the main stream point of view; this does not permit the violation of the conservation principles.
There is experimental work which shows violation of the third law; please look at the following NASA publication: 
Personally I have done a simple experiment which at a first sight shows violation of the conservation principles while the explanation on this could be given through the interaction of the electromagnetic-imaginary with the gravitational-real space time by means of photons. Please see at:
This is compatible to a minimum contradictions point of view; please see my paper: Electromagnetic Space Time- Ether.

I’ve been searching but I could not find any works on the 3D topology of a gyroscope. It seems the spin has a deep origin in the topological and geometrical structures of an elementary particle. Gyroscopic stability is an interesting feature and, in fact, if elementary particles have the topological structure of a gyroscope than it is possible to explain why their spin angular momentum can take half-integral values by applying the Schrodinger wave equation in two dimensional multiply-connected space. Please refer to my articles entitled ON THE SPIN ANGULAR MOMENTUM OF ELEMENTARY PARTICLES, ON THE QUANTISATION OF ANGULAR MOMENTUM and in particular SPACETIME STRUCTURES OF QUANTUM PARTICLES for more details.

Answer
You can describe the instantaneous state of any solid body, like a gyroscope, by its centre-of-mass position  r (three cartesian coordinates) and its orientation Ω. The latter can be described by three Euler angles, see the Wikipedia link. Briefly, the latter is equivalent to the surface of a sphere in 4-dimensional space (S3), but with antipodal points identified.

Dear people,
if a "measurement" is ment to be an interaction of an elementary particle, why can we still see wave-interference patterns in the double-slit-experiment which are conducted in rooms on earth? Why is interaction with "Gravity" itself not a "measurement" which leads to a collapse of the wave function?
Thank you. 
Relevant answer
Answer
Wave function collapse by measurement is defined as reduction of superposition of several eigenstates to a single eigenstate. This in my interpretation means that all the possible statistical outcome of the measurement process reduces to one definite outcome. This is due to the interference of light particle with the particles of two slits in the double slit experiment. So this one definite outcome is the wave interference pattern that you see. Wave function collapse does not mean no outcome at all. And as mentioned by Ulf, interaction with gravity is weak and its contribution is very small in the total effect.
Eventhough gravitational waves are discovered, there is no evidence for the existence of Graviton. So whether gravity is associated with a particle or whether gravity is a force at all, are debatable questions. We know that gravity is very weak at the present epoch in the history of the universe but it is generally accepted that interaction with gravity becomes critical near Planck epoch, 10^(-43) sec. after big bang. In following quantum gravity theory, gravity becomes so strong at Planck time that not only it collapses the wave function to a single eigenstate but it also collapses the wave associated with that single eigenstate leaving behind no mass gap at all.and the energy associated with this single eigenstate becomes perfectly motionless. So you cannot call this energy anymore because energy and motion coexist by definition.

Gravitons are hypothetical elementary particles that mediate the force of gravity within the framework of quantum field theory. Their existence is necessary for forging a meld between quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general theory of relativity, a quest that has been going on for fifty years. This quest has produced reams of equations and elegant experiments with no definitive answer (it’s worth noting that the search for individual gravitons is different from the search for gravitational waves, a purely classical endeavor). LIGO and LISA are only two of the more ambitious projects designed toward this goal. Until now none of these experimental setups have been able to detect gravitational waves, but with individual gravitons it might be a completely different ball game.
Over the last few years Freeman Dyson, Tony Rothman and Stephen Bough among others have written papers demonstrating that it might be impossible to detect single gravitons if anything resembling realistic physics is taken into account. They have analyzed existing approaches and concluded that the scale of the experimental apparatus in these approaches might have to approach absurdly unrealistic limits if they are to successfully detect gravitons. Gravity thus might remain a statistical bulk property like temperature or pressure, irreducible to the properties of individual particles. If this is indeed true there might forever be an ‘iron curtain’ of ignorance erected between the quantum and classical worlds. It’s a possibility that is maddening, and one that should certainly keep any physicist with even a modest ambition of unifying the known forces of nature awake.

During the last quarter of the twentieth century, the electromagnetic force binding atoms and molecules and the weak nuclear force governing the decay of radioactive matter were merged into a single theory asserting them to be different manifestations of one and the same force-the "electroweak" force. Crucial parts of this theory have been confirmed at the world's most powerful accelerators at CERN and Fermi Lab, and concerted efforts are now under way to extend this unified theory to include the strong nuclear force that binds elementary particles within nuclei. Furthermore, although scientists are unsure at this time how, in turn, to incorporate into this comprehensive theory the fourth known force (gravity), we have reason to suspect that Einstein's dream is nearing-to understand all the forces of Nature as different aspects of a single, fundamental force.
In this article, according to the experimental observations, the Maxwell equations of electromagnetism is generalized to the gravitational field.
The strong interaction or strong force is today understood to represent the interactions between quarks and gluons as detailed by the theory of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). The strong force is the fundamental force mediated by gluons, acting upon quarks, antiquarks, and the gluons themselves.

Some comments after reading this article:
Graviton and virtual photons by Hossein Javadi
Part of his conclusion:
Attention to photon structure and using new definitions for graviton, charged and exchange particles, will change our perspective on modern physics. It also provides us with a new tool to be able to overcome physics problems in a better way. This approach will show us how particles are formed.
In the introduction, he writes: If we continue to believe that in the Standard Model, elementary particles are point particles and unstructured, we cannot resolve ambiguities in modern physics.  
Looking at the effect of light on gravitational forces, points out in the same direction. See Further Experiments Demonstrating the Effect of Light on Gravitation
Louis Rancourt, Philip J. Tattersall
If we look at the electrons and nuclei as very complex systems made of maybe as much as 1030 parts, then we cannot look at them as point particles with no internal structure. When light meets what makes the gravitational force at 90 degrees, it interacts with it and the amount of force of gravity changes after that. An object under the light beam looses weight and an object above the beam gains weight. Nothing predicts an increase of gravity like that.
To explain this interaction, one does not need to give a property of mass or charge or any other property to what makes that beam of light or what makes gravity.
If all elementary particle are complex systems, their parts are always moving at the speed of light in relation to free space. The internal speed plus the speed of the system is always c.
When gravity acts on the system. it does not give energy to the system but becomes part of the system and the total direction of the system changes. Thus gravity does not have to have mass because what makes that gravity is the same as what makes light, no mass, no charge just a being moving at speed c. To visualize what happens, it is important to always look a an object as something moving in space and not static. There is nothing in the universe that has no movement.
Hope these comments will help to better understand matter.

   The spin of a particle (spin quantum number) cannot change under the effect of one external magnetic field. The best proof of this is that we cannot change fermions in bosons or vice versa by the application of a magnetic field.
  Another very different thing, and which many people confuse, is the spin magnetic moment where the total spin is replaced by its eigenvalue using the spin quantum number. This magnitude change under a magnetic field using the Zeeman coupling between both. Energetically it is only important when there is spin-orbit coupling for the total spin which gives very different values for the spin magnetic moment of such system.

If we examine experimental numbers for solar and atmospheric mass splittings, it seems natural that a pair of neutrinos can be approximately degenerate. The third eigenvalue could be either heavier or lighter than the degenerate pair. If degenerate (solar) pair is heavy then we call it inverted hierarchy and if the degenerate pair is lighter than the third mass eigenvalue we call it normal hierarchy.
I am just giving an example to show that this could indeed be the case. Impose Lμ-Lτ symmetry in the neutrino mass matrix. Then, mass eigenvalues will be quasi degenerate and one of the mixing angles will be maximal.

In the simple cases that you are calculating, regularization techniques are more likely to give the same results. In more complicated cases it becomes very laborious to show that regularization techniques agree. The advantage of using Zeta-function regularization is that it can be used in more general spacetimes, such as curved spacetime, where the situation is much more complicated, i.e. in Euclidean Quantum Gravity.

 What are the parameters for the description of any elementary particle as per Standard Model?
Relevant answer
Answer
Standard model describes three interactions (strong, weak, electromagnetic) of elementary particles. Coupling strengths are free parameters.
There are several arbitrary parameters in the scalar sector, which are:
1. Symmetry breaking SU(2)xU(1) .--> U(1) proceeds through the VEV of the Higgs scalar <H>=v. This is a free parameter.
2. Higgs field interacts with fermions through trilinear Yukawa couplins of the form fermion-fermion-scalar. There are, six quarks and three leptons, consequently there are nine Yukawa couplings.
3. Higgs self interaction strength is a free parameter.
4. Cabbibo-Kobayashi-Maskawa mixing matrix has three angles and a phase, giving four parameters.
Furthermore there is an unknown theta term in QCD Lagrangian giving rise to strong CP problem.
In total there are nineteen of them.  Except four parameters of CKM sector, the remaining fifteen parameters are complex.
Because these parameters are fixed by experiments, one thinks that there is a strong motivation for carrying out studies beyond the standard model in a direction which will have more predictive power and  fewer free parameters.

According to the present understanding, the spin of a particle is the intrinsic property of the particle and is not related to the rotation in the ordinary space. Therefore, we cannot change its direction relative to the direction of motion of the particle by any method. However, Bruce A. Schumm writes on page 187 of his book, "Deep Down Things: The Breathtaking Beauty of Particle Physics" (The John Hopkins University Press, Baltimore & London, 2004), as follows:
"The question of the origin of quantum-mechanical spin and the nature of spin-space is a conundrum that physicists have yet to solve."
So, your question of changing the direction of spin relative to the direction of the velocity of a particle might have meaning someday.

I don't understand why so many people are hell-bent on finding a deterministic theory to explain quantum mechanics.  One does not exist!  Get over it!  Personally, I find the absence of such a theory comforting since it allows for free-will.  A fundamental deterministic theory would destroy the possibility of free-will which is something I can't accept.
As for the size of fundamental particles, the question makes no sense.  They are particle-waves.  We can talk about the wavelength as a relevant length-scale but I don't think this is what you mean when you say "size."  It is absurd to think that at some very small length-scale fundamental particles look like little balls (or any other geometric shape).
Embrace the probabilistic nature of reality.  The sooner you do, the sooner it will make sense.

A quark is an elementary particle and a fundamental constituent of matter. Quarks combine to form composite particles called hadrons, the most stable of which are protons and neutrons, the components of atomic nuclei. Due to a phenomenon known as color confinement, quarks are never directly observed or found in isolation; they can be found only within hadrons, such as baryons (of which protons and neutrons are examples), and mesons.For this reason, much of what is known about quarks has been drawn from observations of the hadrons themselves.Quarks have various intrinsic properties, including electric charge, mass, color charge and spin. Quarks are the only elementary particles in the Standard Model of particle physics to experience all four fundamental interactions, also known as fundamental forces (electromagnetism, gravitation, strong interaction, and weak interaction), as well as the only known particles whose electric charges are not integer multiples of the elementary charge.

Question
18 answers
 According to the standard model a neutron is considered as a compound system of three quarks udd, and the antineutron as a compound system of the corresponding antiquarks.
Suppose (1) that any nucleus contains antineutrons instead of neutrons, and suppose (2) that there exist the following reaction between antineutrons and (solar) neutrinos:  antineutron + neutrino -> neutron + antineutrino (neglecting conservation of lepton number L and baryon number B in this case, instead B+L is conserved).
Then, from the fact that nuclei ( always beeing hidden by solar neutrinos ) emit neutrons in a decay, one cannot infere anymore that nuclei  ( during their lifetime ) contain neutrons.
Question A :
Would it be possible to set up an experiment which allows for an experimental check that stable nuclei contain neutrons, but not antineutrons?
Question B :
If the answer to question A is NO and if assumption (2) is true, would it then be more reasonable to consider antineutrons as constituents of stable nuclei and to consider the reaction antineutron + neutrino -> neutron + antineutrino inside a nucleus as the (random) event which causes the decay of a nucleus?
Question C :
How could one find out experimentally wether or not  the reaction  (free)antineutron + neutrino -> (free)neutron + antineutrino  happens in reality?     
Relevant answer
Answer
Under the Standard Model, an antineutron would be very short-lived inside an atom. It would quickly turn into an antiproton (much more quickly than a free antineutron; effectively instantaneously) through inverse beta decay, and the antiproton would annihilate a proton in short order. So right there, the simple stability of any atom is already experimental proof that it does not contain antinucleons.
However, the proposed process involving neutrinos (condition (2) in the question details) amounts to throwing the Standard Model out the window. Unless we know what model takes its place, it is quite impossible to answer the question, since in the absence of a predictive theory, anything goes.
Presumably, whatever this model is, it should prevent the decay of antineutrons inside an atom, in addition to leading to the violations of lepton and baryon number conservation mentioned in the question details. I sincerely doubt that a self-consistent model with these properties exists, much less one that is also consistent with the experimental verifications of the Standard Model.
In any case, not knowing what this model is, it really isn't possible to answer the question. As I said above, under the Standard Model, no stable atoms can possibly exist that contain both nucleons and antinucleons.
As to Question C in the question details, I suspect that existing experimental data from any particle accelerator (which already provide strict constraints, e.g., on lepton number conservation) would establish very strict upper limits for the cross section of the proposed process. Even if it did happen, it would be an extremely rare process.

As I said before, I have not dealt with GaGe so I do not know much about them; however, another alternative that you may have overlooked is XIA. A couple of the other research groups here use them and have had good results. (For instance MTAS (Modular Total Absorption Spectrometer) uses XIA Pixie digitizers and they have had few problems.)

Relevant answer
Answer
In quantum mechanics particles are described by states. A single particle's state assigns a complex number to every position  in space the particle could occupy. The squared modulus of that complex number is the probability density to find the particle there.  In other words, the probability of finding the particle in an infinitesimal volume around x is |psi(x)|^2 time the volume, where psi(x) is the complex number representing the value of the state psi at position x.
When there are two particles, then the state assigns a complex number to every pair of positions x and y that particles 1 can 2 can both occupy. So if both particles move in 3d space, the state will be a function in pairs of 3d vectors, that is, it will be a function of 6 variables.
The state of one particle could conceivably be described in terms of waves. The state of two particles clearly cannot. If you are learning quantum mechanics, and the book  you are reading says something about wave description of particles, discard the book. There are analogies between one particle quantum mechanics and wave problems, but they are largely formal. They had a certain importance in the historical development of quantum mechanics, but now this whole set of ideas is far more a hindrance to understanding than it is anything else.

Any relativistic particle-not necessarily elementary-is described by a representation of the Lorentz group, in the sense that its mass and its spin are invariant quantities under global Lorentz transformations, therefore define a particle uniquely.(The proton, for example, isn't an elementary particle, but  has a specific mass and spin 1/2, so it transforms in the two-dimensional representation, with regards to spin, of the Lorentz group.) They label the representation of the Lorentz group. The Lorentz transformations describe symmetries of spacetime, globally, when gravitational effects can be neglected, locally, when they cannot. The adjectives mean that the parameters of the Lorentz transformations don't depend on the spacetime point in the first case and do depend on the spacetime point in the second case. 
At this point that the particle is a quantum particle doesn't play a role-a classical particle, also, is described this way.

In analogy the electron-"neutrino" should be stable and the muon- and tauon-"neutrino" unstable.
Relevant answer
Answer
Hi everybody,
I am afraid that many of these posts are mixing up things a little bit. Let me clear up the smoke.
First, electron-, muon-, and tau-neutrinos are *flavour* eigenstates. Thus, they do not have a well-defined mass and in particular there is no way to say the electron-neutrino with be the "lightest".
Instead, the neutrino states mentioned above are quantum mechanical superpositions of three neutrino mass eigenstates typically called 1, 2, and 3 with well-defined masses m_1, m_2, m_3. We don't know which is the largest of those, but we do know that m_2>m_1.
Now, in principle all "heavier" neutrinos could decay into the lighter ones plus one photon, e.g. nu_2 -> nu_1 + gamma. There is no charge which would prevent that decay, it is energetically allowed, and one can draw a corresponding (1-loop) Feynman diagram.
Thus, the two "heavier" neutrinos, nu_2 and nu_3 if m_1 < m_2 < m_3 or nu_1 and nu_2 if m_3 < m_1 < m_2, are unstable. That's it.
It's on fact quite simple and can be found in any good neutrino review, which is why I am truly wondering where unsolicited statements like "Neutrinos are stable because there don't exist any lighter particles" come from.
It would be better if answers to questions here in RG are provided by experts in the respective field only (identifiable e.g. by their publication list or by their skills being endorsed by other RG members), since a multitude of incorrect answers to a question posed do not lead to anything but confusion.

in my research activity i am using two (Mo and Si) elements and treat them at high temperature more than 1350 C and after that i want to quantitatively analyze reacted elements such how much Si and Mo remain in reaction site and how much in quantity they have different phases.
thanks

I think this is an analytic chemistry question.

See the enclosed paper by Jack Avrin, where he discusses his knot model of elementary particles. Since Knot theory corresponds to fluid dynamics, and fluid dynamics theory can be shown to correspond to electromagnetic theory, then his model seems plausible at least.
Is it possible to come up with a knot model of elementary particles? What do you think? Your comments are welcome.

I am very interested.  I have found that there appears to be a very close mix between knots, Trkalian vectors and particles  I'm working towards exploiting this, but there is a lot of rubbish between where I stand and the ability to link these concepts.
> Dark Matter needs to be eliminated. It has already been shown to be unnecessary by a few papers (by Feng,& Gallo and others), but the mainstream Physics supporters object, largely because, they have found lots of things that MIGHT be explained by DM and declared this. This now means the DM is seen as the source of many answers to unsolved problems.  Careful examination shows that it is not.
> Dark Energy, like DM is another magic potion, being applied every where. I have a good bit of 'Chaos' theory that shows that it is also unnecessary.
> I return to Newton, whose work in this area can easily be shown to be 100% correct and add Special Relativity.. This then leaves the possibility of ignoring the concept of  Mass, to end up with 'fluid equations' for the density and flow of energy. Add in Trkalian vectors and the results are essentially a selected set of knots from the knot theory.
Knot theory has an infinite number of possible knots (closed loops) and we don't have an infinite number of particles.  There are also several complications to be dealt with on the way. But the knots, up to well defined complexity, identify the likely candidates as particles.
I have scanned the Jehie papers, but have yet to really read them. They seem to be on a bit of a tangent to what I'm considering, but still look to be worth reading.
I'm currently printing all 55 pages of the Arvin paper/ I will come back when I have read that.
