Mass-Generation Mechanism Based on the Duality of Time Theory

The following article is extracted from Chapter III of the Duality of Time book, and some of the details are discussed further in other chapters, as well as Volume III that is the Ultimate Symmetry.

It is well established in modern physics that mass is an emergent property, and since the Standard Model relies on gauge and chiral symmetry, the observed non-zero masses of elementary particles require spontaneous symmetry breaking, which suggested the existence of the massive Higgs boson, whose own mass is not explained in the model. This Higgs mechanism is part of the Glashow-Weinberg-Salam theory to unify electromagnetic and weak interactions.

However, the ground state of matter according to the Duality of Time Theory is a perfect super fluid, where masses of elementary particles could arise from interaction with the physical vacuum, in a manner similar to the gap generation mechanism.

Moreover, the Duality of Time Theory provides an even more fundamental and very simple mechanism for mass generation, in full agreement with the principles of Classical Mechanics.

In general, the fundamental reason for inertial mass is the coupling between the particles that constitute the object, because the binding field enforces specific separations between them, so that when the position of one particle changes, a finite time elapses before other particles move, due to the finite speed of light. This delay is the cause of inertial behavior, and this implies that all massive particles are composed of more sub-particles, and so on until we reach the most fundamental particles which should be massless.

This description is (and can only be) fulfilled by the Duality of Time Theory, due to the discrete symmetry of the genuinely-complex time-time geometry as described in the Books. The Duality of Time Theory is based on the Single Monad Model, so the fundamental reason of the granular geometry is the fact that no two geometrical points can exist at the same real instance of time, so they must be re-created in one chronological sequence.

This delay is what causes the inertial mass, so physical objects are dynamically formed by the coupling between at least two geometrical points which produces the entangled dimensions. According to the different degrees of freedom in the resulting spatial dimensions, this entanglement is responsible for the various coupling parameters, including charge and mass, which become necessarily quantized because they are proportional to the number of geometrical nodes constituting each state, starting from one individual point for massless bosons.

Nevertheless, some bosons might still appear to have heavy masses (in our outer level of time) because they are confined in their lower dimensions in which they are massless, just as the inertial mass of normal objects is exhibited only when they are moved in the outer level of time. Consequently, there is a minimum mass gap above the ground state of vacuum (c, 0), which is itself also above the void state (0, 0). This is because each single geometrical node is massless on its own dimensions, while the minimum state above this ground state is composed of two nodes which must have non-zero inertial mass because of the time delay between their sequential creation instances.

This important conclusion agrees with Yang-Mills suggestion that the space of intrinsic degrees of freedom of elementary particles depends on the points of space-time. It was already anticipated that proving Yang-Mills conjecture requires the introduction of fundamental new ideas both in physics and in mathematics. Accordingly, due to the sequential re-creation in the inner levels of time, the Duality of Time Theory introduced the genuinely-complex time-time geometry which revealed this profound discrete symmetry that makes the vacuum physical and dynamic, with super fluid properties and discrete mass states.

List of Some Major Problems Solved by the Duality of Time Theory

In the following articles, we will list some of the major unsolved problems in theoretical physics and describe them in brief, stating their potential solutions according to the Duality of Time Postulate. Although many of these problems will be simply eliminated according to the new genuinely-complex time-time geometry, a detailed theoretical and mathematical analysis is required in order to explain how these problems are settled. Therefore, some of the following brief suggested solutions may be speculative.

These articles are extracted from Chapter III of the Duality of Time book, and some of the details are discussed further in other chapters, as well as Volume III that is the Ultimate Symmetry. A more concise description is also published in Time Chest.

The Duality of Time Postulate

To understand how all these major problems could be solved so easily, please study first the Duality of Time Postulate, that has been extracted from Chapter V of the Duality of Time book.
