mburns's Journal: Screed on the Higgs Boson

The data from Fermilab will have probed, when finished, anti-protons to the detail of 10 inverse femtobarns. This is 1.e44 particles passing through every square meter of cross section of the targeted anti-protons (using the units program on Linux).

Is this enough to find a gravitational collision? This is the question that is preferable to the popular quest for the Higgs boson. But the total gravitational area of the quarks in an anti-proton is something like 2.e-111 m^2. This makes gravitational collisions at Fermilab exceedingly unlikely. Nor are they likely at the LHC either.

The convention in the Standard Model is that a scalar field is responsible for the mass of fundamental particles. It is said that this field can show itself in the form of a Higgs boson. But mass comes from small black holes stabilized from decay by the charge of a particle, and the black holes themselves stabilize the charge from disappearing.

This is according to the Einstein-Davis and Kaluza-Klein theory that deserves much more attention from academic physicists. The claim might seem arbitrary, but it follows from a simple premise which physicists must already adopt - that the spacetime metric exists, which is a way for observers to agree on the spacetime separation between physical events.

There is a persistent rebellion among theorists wherein mathematics incompatible with general relativity is used to form theories. What of the Higgs boson? It is at the tip of a branch of this sort of compensating error. It is said to have no charge but still to have a specific mass. But an uncharged black hole has no particular mass, pure gravitational encounters are too rare to produce them, and how often is it that another particle can steal all charge from another and still leave a particular mass behind?

In the Einstein-Davis and Kaluza-Klein picture of unadulterated spacetime, it is easy enough to show that a charge requires mass for its permanent existence. Namely, without time being stopped at its gravitational radius, there is no reason that the dilation of the higher dimension that defines the charge can not simply appear and disappear as time progresses. And without a mass that defines a tilt of the dilation in the direction of time, positive and negative charges can not be distinguished.
