Preliminary evidence for the hypothesis that the electron is not an elementary particle

  • 10 תגובות
Led by researchers from the Institute of Physics at Princeton University, an initial discovery has been published that strengthens the controversial hypothesis that the electron is made up of two elementary particles: one carrying a negative electric charge and the other the electron's spin. If

This graph, called the sombrero hat graph, describes the different energy states of the field, according to the Higgs mechanism. The higher you go (V axis in the graph), the higher the energy. The other axes indicate the values ​​that the field can have. In state 1 (up the hill) the field (and its particles) have a very high minimum energy, as it was immediately after the big bang. In state 2 there was any change and the field immediately dropped to a new minimum energy state, much lower than the previous state. Note that the field has infinitely many such new states of minimum energy, around the energy hill. All these states have the same low energy. But when the field goes down it randomly chooses one state out of all these possible states. This choice broke the symmetry of the minimum energy states into a single state that the field selected.
