4. Explaining mass and its resistance to acceleration in terms of the field properties of space time.

by

Mass is both a property of a physical body and a measure of its resistance to acceleration (a change in its state of motion) when a net force is applied. The Higgs boson discovered at the CERN particle physics laboratory near Geneva, Switzerland, in 2012, is what, according to the Standard Model of particle physics gives all other fundamental particles mass. However, despite the work of thousands of researchers … Read more

The “reality” of the Higgs field

by

The Higgs Boson which was tentatively confirmed to exist on 14 March 2013 appears to confirm the existence of the Higgs field.  Its discovery is pivotal to the Standard Model and other theories within particle physics because it explains why some fundamental particles have mass when the symmetries controlling their interactions should require them to … Read more

Finally, someone found a physical link between the graviton and the photon

by

Presently the Standard Model of Particle Physics links the quantum properties of the Gravitron with electromagnetism through mathematics  However, for the past 50 years brightest minds in the scientist community have been unable to observe the Gravitron or the particle it assumes it responsible for the force of gravity. Some say this is because it … Read more

Linking gravity to the color charge of quarks

by

We have shown throughout this blog there would be many theoretical advantages to defining the universe in terms of four *spatial* dimensions instead of four dimensional space-time. One of them is that it would allow for theoretically defining a common mechanism for gravity and the color charge of quarks by extrapolating observations made in a three-dimensional … Read more
