Abstract
Keywords:
1. Introduction
1.1. Pure Geometric Origin of Mass and Light
1.2. List of Theories and Scientists Related to the Origin or Source of “Mass”
- A.
- Higgs Mechanism: Proposed in 1964 by Peter Higgs and other physicists, the Higgs mechanism explains how particles acquire mass through their interaction with the Higgs field, mediated by the Higgs boson. This theory is a key component of the Standard Model of particle physics and was experimentally confirmed with the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012 at CERN.
- B.
- Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD): Quantum Chromodynamics is the theory of the strong nuclear force, which binds quarks and gluons to form protons, neutrons, and other particles. Most of the mass of ordinary matter (e.g., protons and neutrons) arises dynamically from the energy of gluon fields in QCD, rather than solely from the Higgs mechanism. While no single scientist is solely credited, QCD emerged from the work of many physicists, including Murray Gell-Mann, who developed the quark model.
- C.
- General Relativity: Published in 1915 by Albert Einstein, the theory of General Relativity describes gravity as the spacetime curvature caused by mass and energy. Although it doesn’t directly explain the origin of mass, it redefined mass as equivalent to energy (via ) and showed its role in the universe’s structure, influencing how we conceptualize mass.
- D.
- Emergent Gravity: Introduced by Erik Verlinde in 2010, the theory of entropic gravity posits that gravity—and potentially mass—is not a fundamental force but an emergent phenomenon arising from the entropy of the universe. This suggests that mass could be a manifestation of underlying microscopic properties, offering a novel perspective on its origin.
- E.
- Technicolor Models: Technicolor theories propose that mass arises from new strong gauge interactions, similar to QCD, rather than a Higgs boson. In these models, the Higgs boson is a composite particle. Developed by physicists like Leonard Susskind and Steven Weinberg in the 1970s, Technicolor remains an alternative to the Standard Model, though it lacks experimental confirmation.
- F.
- Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG): Loop Quantum Gravity is a theoretical approach to quantum gravity that describes spacetime as a discrete, quantized structure. While not primarily focused on mass’s origin, its implications for spacetime geometry could influence how mass is understood at the quantum level. Key contributors include Carlo Rovelli, Lee Smolin, and Abhay Ashtekar.
- G.
- Causal Dynamical Triangulations (CDT): Causal Dynamical Triangulations is a quantum gravity theory that builds spacetime from discrete triangular units. It explores the universe’s quantum structure and evolution, potentially offering insights into how mass emerges from spacetime’s geometry. This approach was pioneered by physicists like Renate Loll, Jan Ambjørn, and Jerzy Jurkiewicz.
- H.
- Modified Gravity Theories: Theories like gravity modify Einstein’s general relativity by adding higher-order curvature terms to the field equations. These modifications can alter how mass and energy affect spacetime, potentially providing alternative explanations for mass’s effects. Such ideas have been explored by physicists like Sean Carroll and others in cosmology.
- I.
- Unified Physics: The paper “The Origin of Mass and the Nature of Gravity” by Nassim Haramein, suggests that mass arises from interactions between particles and the quantum vacuum energy. This speculative framework attempts to unify physics by linking mass to spacetime’s fundamental structure.

7. Conclusion
7.1. Unification of Fundamental Physics
- →
- By defining mass and light as products of spacetime geometry, the MES framework will unify quantum mechanics and general relativity. This eliminates the need for separate mechanisms like the Higgs field, offering a single geometric foundation for all physical phenomena, a goal that has eluded physicists for decades. This unification will resolve long-standing conflicts between quantum field theory and general relativity, providing a consistent framework for quantum gravity—a holy grail of modern physics.
7.2. Simplification of Cosmology
- →
- The MES Universe Model suggests a closed quasi-static, non-expanding universe, which will eliminate cosmological puzzles like the Hubble tension (discrepancies in the universe’s expansion rate). This simplifies our picture of the cosmos, replacing dynamic expansion with a stable, geometric structure. Without expansion, the traditional Big Bang model would give way to alternative ideas, such as a cyclic or oscillatory Yin-Yang Universe, reshaping our understanding of the universe’s beginning and evolution. Redshift could be reinterpreted as photon frequency modulation, obviating the need for cosmic expansion. No Big Bang: Redshift becomes curvature-modulated photon oscillation. No inflation or dark energy: Geometry and scalar fields create a quasi-static yet oscillatory universe. No cold dark matter: Matter-antimatter symmetry via geometry could explain galactic dynamics.
7.3. Revolutionary View of Time
- →
- The MES framework treats time as a Chaotic Phase-Locked Variable tied to spacetime oscillations. This will redefine causality and the arrow of time, offering fresh perspectives on quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and even the nature of consciousness. Periodic temporal dynamics will suggest a universe with intrinsic symmetries, potentially explaining phenomena like quantum entanglement or the cosmic microwave background’s structure.
7.4. Philosophical Paradigm Shift
- →
- Elevating geometry to the core of physics suggests that all forces and particles are manifestations of spacetime curvature, potentially redefining physics as a geometric science. By rejecting cosmic expansion and inflation, the MES framework will prompt a reevaluation of decades of research, opening doors to entirely new cosmological theories.
7.5. Overhauling Particle Physics
- →
- If mass arises from geometry, the Higgs boson and field become obsolete, simplifying the Standard Model or replacing it with a curvature-based framework. Particle masses determined by spacetime curvature parameters could address unsolved problems like the hierarchy problem, providing a new way to calculate mass differences. No scalar field instability, vacuum metastability becomes a non-issue. Yukawa couplings become obsolete, mass ratios are fixed by geometric conditions, solving the hierarchy problem.
- →
- The MES framework will offer a fresh perspective on calculating mass differences between particles. Curvature-Dependent Mass Ratios: Particle masses might depend on how different scalar fields couple to curvature parameters (e.g., , or oscillation frequencies). Unlike the Standard Model, where Yukawa couplings are free parameters, the MES Universe Model will fix mass ratios geometrically, providing a predictive structure for why particles like electrons (0.511 MeV), Muon (105 MeV) and top quarks (173 GeV) differ so drastically. Unified Mass Scale: A single mass scale tied to curvature could underlie all particle masses, with differences arising from their specific interactions with spacetime geometry. For example, lighter particles might couple to larger curvature scales, while heavier ones tie to smaller scales or stronger field amplitudes.
- →
- The MES framework’s proposal that particle masses are determined by spacetime curvature parameters offers an innovative way to address the hierarchy problem, potentially explaining the Electroweak-Planck scale gap without fine-tuning. By rooting mass in geometry, it could also provide a new method to calculate mass differences, replacing arbitrary parameters with curvature-derived ratios. If developed fully, this approach could transform our understanding of mass and its origins in the universe.
