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 relative masses of a proton and electron

by

We have shown throughout this blog there would be many theoretical advantages to defining space in terms of a continuous non-quantized field of energy/mass and four *spatial* dimensions instead of four dimensional space-time. One is that it would allow one to understand why a proton and an election have different masses even though the absolute magnitude … Read more
