The Major Differences Between This Model and Current Wisdom


It is of advantage to explain the 'current wisdom' so that contrasts can be drawn with this Model. This is summarized by: A Brief Description of the Standard Model ,

The Standard Model deals only with the electro-magnetic forces as well as strong and weak nuclear forces. It does not deal with the fields of the mass-moiety. The Standard Model does not include considerations of gravity. The Five Moiety Model does.

The Five Moiety Model constructs the entire universe out of only five building blocks, the moieties which are described above. Unlike the Five Moiety Model, the Standard Model claims many fundamental particles.

Einstein (and others) would consider space with fields but with no particles. In the Five Moiety Model, this is never a realistic situation. If a space has fields, there are companion particles, somewhere.

In the Five Moiety Model, force is caused by a field. It is not caused by the exchange of two particles as is done in the Standard Model.

In the late 1960s, theoretical physicists ran into serious problems trying to calculate the "self energy" of an electron bathed in the field that it, itself, generated with its charge. Many things were tried in this calculation. The integrals which were derived were found to be infinite in value. Clearly, there was something wrong. Renormalization, second quantization, etc. were chosen to explain why the values were infinite, without really satisfying results. The Five Moiety Model states that the fields of the electron is an intrinsic part of the moieties that make up the electron. The fields and particles are indivisible. There is no "self-energy".

Fundamental Particles

The issue at the moment to define the term "fundamental particle" and what is considered "fundamental".

Nowadays, many physicists are trying to take what used to be considered fundamental particles and break them down into smaller components. They do this with huge, expensive equipment. this author has a great deal of trouble with this concept - that is that they are 'finding' new 'fundamental' particles.

Injecting huge quantities of energy into a particle through high speed collisions probably allows the fundamental particle to be elevated to an allowed high energy form in an eigenstate, that is interpreted as a new particle.

There are other particles in the Standard Model, e.g., the tau lepton and the muon that fall into this category. It can be claimed that these two particles are just excited states of the electron by saying that the higher mass of these particles is just the excess energy over that of an electron at rest. The "fundamental particles" that have been discovered in the past few decades could be what Dr. Richard Feynman called "resonances" [ref: Lectures on Physics Volume 1 Chapter 23] Remember that the mean-lifetimes of almost all of these new "particles" is less than $10^{-20}$ seconds. During this time, a photon moves a distance of $3*10^{-12}$ meters! That is a very short time period. Perhaps, as Feynman points out, these are not particles at all.

All subatomic particles of current wisdom can be broken into two categories: those with mean lifetimes greater than than $10^{-5}$) seconds, (the electron, the proton, the neutron, the neutrinos, the photon and the anti-particles of members of this group) and the second group - with mean lifetimes shorter than $10^{-5}$ seconds.

It can be speculated that each member of the second group may be described as an excited state of one or several members of the first group.

If we were to watch the absorption of a photon by a proton, for that extremely short length of time when the photon has disappeared but there has not been sufficient time for the excited proton to decay into its final products, the huge energy of the photon is viewed as mass. This says that our camera which is watching this event would see (for a very short time) a particle with a much greater mass than an isolated proton.

The heavy particles of the second category can be explained in this way. The mass of the 'particles' is a storage vehicle for the excess energy of the collision, before the excited proton has a chance to decay.
