Abstract

Dirac’s equation depicts electron mass as either positive or negative. Taken as correct description of nature, the equation identifies electron mass as ‘electrically active’ and therefore fundamentally different from the ordinary, ‘electrically passive’ mass. Following this cue, I demonstrate that electron mass (me) is the natural elementary mass: positive (me+) and negative (me) elementary masses neutralise to an elementary unit of the electrically passive mass (2me0). Further, I show that electron mass (me± ) and the electrostatic field (ef±) surrounding it compose an elementary charge (e±), thereby relating charge to mass. Two plain principles underlie these findings. 1) Electric charge and gravitational mass have a common root: positive (e+) and negative (e) charges coexist as neutral charge (2e0), which is the quantum of gravitational mass. 2) Charge is a static (nonrelativistic) ‘atom of electricity’ and obeys the laws of electrostatics; electron is the same ‘atom of electricity’ at ultrahigh (relativistic) speed and obeys the laws of electrodynamics. That is, charges are electricity at rest; electrons are electricity in motion – ‘same physical entities two behavioural identities.’ A decisive proof that this paradigm shift correctly portrays is that it verifiably unifies Newton’s law of gravity and Coulomb’s law of electrostatics to: 8G/mpme = K/e2; where G and K are the respective constants, mp the proton mass, me the electron mass, and e the elementary charge. Ultimately, the insights simplify matter to pure ‘atoms’ of positive and negative electricity.

Comment: Your paper sounds interesting but I could not download the pdf. I am not a physicist, but I have visual understanding of particle physics that may help you in your research. I understand I sound a bit crazy.

I have defined a geometry and universal cycle that aligns with your generic concept. My scenario evolves from a singularity type structure into the standard model of particles. This scenario has only two fundamental elements, a few fields, and a great deal of logic, but minimal math.

If I don’t sound too crazy, please respond.
