Standing waves of energy density and particle structure

Standing waves of energy density and particle structure

(zenodo.org) Introduction Modern physics describes elementary particles as point objects or perturbations of quantum fields, but another interpretation is possible. This chapter considers the hypothesis that particles are standing waves of energy density and their properties can be explained through de Broglie waves. We will also consider how particle birth can be explained within this model and why the law of conservation of energy leads to the symmetry of matter and antimatter. Standing waves of energy density and particles To date, science does not describe the origin of electric charge. What is its nature? Why is its value constant for elementary particles? Charge does not change its sign or its value regardless of the environment. Why does the mass of a body change when the speed of motion changes, but nothing happens to the charge? What is this parameter - charge? It is known that: 1/c = αћ/e² where e is the charge of the electron, ћ is the reduced Planck constant, c is the speed of light. One constant is expressed...

Rethinking the Michelson-Morley experience

Rethinking the Michelson-Morley experience

(zenodo.org) According to the special theory of relativity (STR), the speed of light in a vacuum is the same for all observers, regardless of their motion. This means: If one observer is travelling at some speed and the other remains at rest, they will both measure the speed of light as c, regardless of their states of motion. Even if the object is flying towards or away from the light, the light will still have a velocity c relative to it. For classical mechanics such an effect could arise if objects have a wave structure and the speed of propagation of these waves would be equal to the speed of light. In this case the propagation speed would be bound to the notion of some medium. There were earlier attempts to link this medium to the ether. The Michelson-Morley experiment showed that there was no ether. But let's look at it in more detail. Michelson and Morley used an interferometer, a device that measures the...

Theory of frequency, energy density and fractal structure of the Universe

Theory of frequency, energy density and fractal structure of the Universe

(zenodo.org) dated April 27 Introduction Modern physics is based on quantum mechanics and general relativity theory (GRT), but their unification remains an unsolved problem. We propose an alternative model in which the frequency of oscillations is the primary concept determining the energy density. Within this model, Planck's constant plays the role of the fractalisation coefficient, determining the scale of physical processes. In the proposed model space is considered as perfectly straight, and all gravitational effects are interpreted not as a curvature of the geometry, but as a result of changes in the energy density in it. This is a key difference from the general theory of relativity, allowing a new look at the nature of interactions. 1.

Energy Density Theory

Energy Density Theory

(zenodo.org) Introduction This paper explores the hypothesis that the mass of elementary particles is a consequence of variations in energy density within space. This approach provides a new perspective on fundamental interactions, explains anomalies related to dark matter and dark energy, addresses Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, and offers an alternative to the concepts of space-time curvature and the Higgs field. 1. Mass as a Consequence of Energy Density In classical physics, mass is considered a fundamental property of matter. However, if mass is assumed to be a manifestation of energy density, its origin can be explained without invoking the Higgs field. In this case, the mass of charged particles results from uniform changes in energy density, whereas neutral particles may exhibit vortex-like variations in energy density. 1.1. Relationship Between Mass and Wavelength Consider the behavior of mass at the speed of light limit. There is a direct dependence between wavelength and mass. If this dependence is fundamental, then variations in energy density in space determine the inertial...
