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

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
