Introduction;
The greatest problem in theoretical physics is how
quantum mechanics and general relativity are combinable? Scientists
describe the universe in terms of two basic partial theories - the general
relativity and quantum mechanics... The general theory of relativity
describes the force of gravity and the large-scale structure of the
universe. Quantum mechanics, on the other hands, deals with
phenomena on extremely small scales. These two theories are known to
be inconsistent with each other - they cannot both be correct. There
are many ways to do combine these theories and many theories such as
Loop Quantum Theory and String Theory had propounded.
But Theory of CPH (Theory of Creation Particle Higgs)
takes a new way. CPH Theory has reconsidered 4 theories (Classical
Mechanics, Quantum Mechanics, Relativity and Higg). In fact CPH
Theory is a new looking and developing of Quantum
Chromodynamic. So, CPH Theory is a Sub
Quantum Chromodynamic theory.
In this section I will have a summary looking on
these theories then restate how we are able does that. In fact we
must do change our understanding of graviton.

A Look at Classical physics
It is the great merit of
Galileo that, happily combining experiment with calculation, he
opposed the prevailing system according to which, instead of going
directly to nature for investigation of her laws and processes, it
was held that these were best learned by authority, especially by
that of Aristotle,
who was supposed to have spoken the last word upon all such matters,
and upon whom many erroneous conclusions had been fathered in the
course of time. Against such asuperstition Galileo
resolutely and vehemently set himself, with the result that he not
only soon discredited many beliefs which had hitherto been accepted
as indisputable, but aroused a storm of opposition and indignation
amongst those whose opinions he discredited; the more so, as he was
a fierce controversialist, who, not content with refuting
adversaries, was bent upon confounding them.
Throughout his life Galileo would provide some of the
most compelling arguments in favor of the heliocentric model; though
this brought him endless trouble in his lifetime, he was vindicated
by all subsequent investigators.
Isaac Newton continued Galileos discoveries. Isaac
Newton discovered the laws that explained all phenomena known at the
time, form the motion of the stars to the behavior of dust
particles. It was his extremely successful model that leads people
to believe that humanity was on the verge of understanding the whole
of Nature.
1st Law and Newtonian space and time
One of the most important consequences of the First
Law is that it defines what
we mean by an inertial frame of reference.
An inertial
reference frame is a reference frame where isolated bodies are seen
to move in straight lines at constant velocity.
An observer at rest with respect to an inertial frame
of reference is called an inertial
observer. The laws of physics devised by Newton take a
particularly simple form when expressed in terms of quantities
measured by an inertial observer (such as positions, velocities,
etc.). For example, an inertial observer will find that a body on
which no forces act moves in a straight line at constant speed or is
at rest.
All motion occurs in space and is measured by time.
In Newton's model both space and time are unaffected by the presence
or absence of objects. That is space
and time are absolute, an arena where the play of Nature
unfolds. In Newton's words,
Absolute space in its
own nature, without relation to anything external, remains always
similar and immovable.
...absolute and
mathematical time, of itself, and from its own nature, flows equally
without relation to anything external, and by another name is called
duration.
A
consequence of this is that a given distance will be agreed upon by
any two observers at rest with respect to each other or in uniform
relative motion, for; after all, they are just measuring the
separation between two immovable points in eternal space. In the
same way a time interval will be agreed upon by any two
observers for they are just marking two notches on eternal time.
Newtons 2nd Law
The second law is of great practical use. One can use
experiments to determine the manner in which the force depends on
the position and velocity of the bodies and then use calculus to
determine the motion of the bodies by obtaining the position as a
function of time using the known form of F and
the equation
F = m
a
Note that in this equation m measures
how strongly a body responds to a given force (the largerm is
the less it will be accelerated); m measures
the inertia of the body.
Once F is
known the motion of any body
is predicted: by measuring the falling an apple you can predict the
motion of the Moon.
Newtons 3rd Law
For
every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
The statement means that in every interaction, there
is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size
of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on
the second object. The direction of the force on the first object is
opposite to the direction of the force on the second object. Forces
always come in pairs - equal and opposite action-reaction force
pairs.
Gravitation
Galileos law of gravitation; Heavy
objects fall as fast light
objects.
Newtons law of gravitation;
Every object attracts
every other object, by virtue of their having mass.
An object with twice the mass will attract
other objects with twice the force.
Newton's Law of Motion combined with his Law of
Gravitation together embodies Galileo's Law of Gravitation. With
this thought experiment Newton convincingly argued that an apple can
behave in the same way as the Moon, and, because of this it is the
very same force, gravity, which makes the apple fall and the Moon
orbit the Earth. This is consistent with the hypothesis that
gravitation is universal. In a way it represents the unification a
several physical effects which appear unrelated at first sight: the
falling of apples and the orbiting of planets.
The gravitational force between two bodies of masses m and M separated
by a distance r is
attractive and directed along the line joining the bodies, its value
is

Where G is
a universal constant.
Consider now the application of the second law to the
case of the gravitational force.

So that the factors of m cancel this
implies that the motion of a body generated by the gravitational
force is independent of
the mass of the body, just as Galileo had observed.
Galileo relativity
Any two observers
moving at constant speed and direction with respect to one another
will obtain the same results for all mechanical experiments
According Galileo relativity, infinity velocity is
acceptable and velocities will sum by vector rules.
In pursuing these ideas Galileo used the scientific
method: he derived consequences of this hypothesis and determined
whether they agree with the predictions.
This idea has a very important consequence: velocity
is not absolute. This means that velocity can only
be measured in reference to some object(s), and that the result of
this measurement changes if we decide to measure the velocity with
respect to a different reference point(s).
This fact, formulated in the 1600's remains very true
today and is one of the cornerstones of Einstein's theories of
relativity.
Maxwell's Electrodynamics
Although the laws of electricity and of magnetism
according to Gauss, Ampere, and Faraday worked remarkably well,
there was a glaring problem: taken
together, these laws
did not "conserve charge". In
other words, for these laws (as written) to work, one had to allow
charge to be created or destroyed. And this is not
a good thing. (Additionally,
from the form of the equations of these theories, he noticed an
interesting symmetry (a
similarity) in the way the electric field and the magnetic field
appeared. It wasn't a perfect symmetry, however.)
Maxwell modified Ampere's Law by adding a single term
to it. This was what was needed to make the laws consistent with the
conservation of charge. It also made the above symmetry closer to
being a perfect symmetry.

Î0 is
the dielectric constant (space) and m0 is
the magnetic permeability (space)
However, the addition of this term led to a
remarkable prediction: the
existence of electromagnetic waves. With
the full set of equations, Maxwell was able to calculate the speed
of these waves. He
found that their speed was a constant, independent
of the nature of the electric and magnetic fields.
c
is the speed of light in vacuum,
What Maxwell found was that electromagnetic waves
traveled at the speed of light. Maxwell
had just discovered a fundamental constant of nature: the speed of
light.
Maxwell equations show an electromagnetic wave exists
when the changing magnetic field causes a changing electric field,
which then causes another changing magnetic field, and so on
forever. Unlike
a STATIC field, a wave cannot exist unless it is moving. Once
created, an electromagnetic wave will continue on forever unless it
is absorbed by matter.

Thus, the Maxwell
equations not only unify the theories of electricity and of
magnetism, but of optics as well. In
other words, electricity, magnetism, and light could all be
understood as aspects of a single object: the electromagnetic field.
Quite a remarkable achievement!

As a consequence, the
Maxwell equations made the physical prediction that "light travels
with the same speed, in all directions". In other words, "a
spherical pulse of light will appear spherical".
The Michelson-Morley
Experiment
When Clerk Maxwell wrote to
D.P. Todd of the U.S. Nautical Almanac Office in Washington in 1879,
he inquired about the possibility of measuring the velocity of the
solar system through theether by
observing the eclipses of Jupiter's moons. Roemer had used
measurements of the eclipse times to obtain a number for the speed
of light. Maxwell concluded that the effects he sought were too
small to measure - but that assertion came to the attention of a
young naval instructor named A. A. Michelson who had just been
transferred to that office. In 1878, Michelson had made an excellent
measurement of the speed of light at the age of 25, and he thought
the detection of motion through the ether might be measurable.

Michelson proceeded to invent
a new instrument with accuracy far exceeding that which had been
attained to that date, and that instrument is now universally called
the Michelson
interferometer.
In trying to measure the speed of the Earth through the supposed "ether",
you could depend upon one component of that velocity being known -
the velocity of the Earth around the sun, about 30 km/s. Using a
wavelength of about 600 nm, there should be a shift of about 0.04
fringes as the spectrometer was rotated 360. Though small, this was
well within Michelson's capability. Michelson, and everyone else,
was surprised that there was no shift. Michelson's terse description
of the experiment: "The interpretation of these results is that
there is no displacement of the interference bands. ... The result
of the hypothesis of stationary etheris
thus shown to be incorrect."
The Mysterious Ether
When we reached the point where we could demonstrate
that light was a wave, and then it was presumed that the wave must
have a medium in which to travel. All the other waves we knew about
required a medium. Since no medium was apparent between the earth
and the sun, it was presumed that this medium was transparent and
therefore not readily observable - it was called the "ether".
The popular presumption was that this ether was
stationary and filled all of space. This involved the presumption
that there was an absolute reference frame in the universe, and that
all the movement of planets and stars was through this ether.
These presumptions were part
of the historical setting of the Michelson-Morley
Experiment.
With the interferometer which he invented, Michelson found no
evidence of the ether, to his and everyone else's surprise.
Michelson's terse description of the experiment: "The interpretation
of these results is that there is no displacement of the
interference bands. ... The result of the hypothesis of stationary
ether is thus shown to be incorrect."
In 1666 Isaac Newton proposed his theory of
gravitation. This was one of the greatest intellectual feats of all
time. The theory explained all the observed facts, and made
predictions that were later tested and found to be correct within
the accuracy of the instruments being used. As far as anyone could
see, Newton's theory was ``the Truth''. During the nineteenth
century, more accurate instruments were used to test Newton's
theory; these observations uncovered some slight discrepancies.
Albert Einstein proposed his theories of Relativity, which explained
the newly observed facts and made more predictions. Those
predictions have now been tested and found to be correct within the
accuracy of the instruments being used. As far as anyone can see,
Einstein's theory is ``the Truth''.
So how can the Truth change? Well the answer is that
it hasn't. The Universe is still the same as it ever was. When
a theory is said to be ``true'' it means that it agrees with all
known experimental evidence. But
even the best of theories have, time and again, been shown to be
incomplete: though they might explain a lot of phenomena using a few
basic principles, and even predict many new and exciting results,
eventually new experiments (or more precise ones) show a discrepancy
between the workings of nature and the predictions of the theory. In
the strict sense this means that the theory was not ``true'' after
all; but the fact remains that it is a very good approximation to
the truth, at lest where a certain type of phenomena is concerned.
When an accepted theory cannot explain some new data
(which has been confirmed), the researchers working in that field
strive to construct a new theory. This task gets increasingly more
difficult as our knowledge increases, for the new theory should not
only explain the new data, but also all the old one: a new theory
has, as its first duty, to devour and assimilate its predecessors.
One other note about truth: science does not make
moral judgments. Anyone who tries to draw moral lessons from the
laws of nature is on very dangerous ground. Evolution in particular
seems to suffer from this. At one time or another it seems to have
been used to justify Nazism, Communism, and every other -ism in
between. These justifications are all completely bogus. Similarly,
anyone who says ``evolution theory is evil because it is used to
support Communism'' (or any other -ism) has also strayed from the
path of Logic (and will not live long nor prosper).
The cosmology based on the ideas of Galileo and
Newton reigned supreme up until the end of the 19th century: by this
time it became clear that Newton's laws were unable to describe
correctly electric and magnetic phenomena. It is here that Einstein
enters the field, he showed that the Newtonian approach does not
describe correctly situations in which bodies move at speeds close
to that of light (in particular it does not describe light
accurately). Einstein also provided the generalization of Newton's
equations to the realm of such high speeds: the Special Theory of
Relativity. Perhaps more importantly, he also demonstrated that
certain properties of space and time taken for granted are, in fact,
incorrect. We will see, for example, that the concept of two events
occurring at the same time in different places is not absolute, but
depends on the state of motion of the observer.
Not content with these momentous achievements,
Einstein argued that the Special Theory of Relativity itself was
inapplicable under certain conditions, for example, near very heavy
bodies. He then provided the generalization which encompasses these
situations as well: the General Theory of Relativity. This is
perhaps the most amazing development in theoretical physics in 300
years: without any experimental motivation, Einstein single handedly
developed this modern theory of gravitation and used it to predict
some of the most surprising phenomena observed to date. of the most
surprising phenomena observed to date. These include the bending of
light near heavy bodies and the existence of black holes, massive
objects whose gravitational force is so strong it traps all objects,
including light.
Quantum Mechanics
Quantum mechanics is
a fundamental branch of theoretical
physics that
replaces Newtonian
mechanics and classical
electromagnetism at
the atomic and subatomic levels.
It is the underlying framework of many fields of physics and chemistry,
including condensed
matter physics, quantum
chemistry, and particle
physics. Along with general
relativity,
it is one of the pillars of modern physics.
The term quantum (Latin,
"how much") refers to the discrete units that the theory
assigns to certain physical quantities, such as the energy of
an atom at
rest. The discovery that waves could be measured in particle-like
small packets of energy called quanta led
to the branch of physics that deals with atomic and subatomic
systems which we today call Quantum Mechanics.
The electron was discovered in 1897. That it was not
expected is illustrated by a remark made by J J Thomson, the
discoverer of the electron. He said I
was told long afterwards by a distinguished physicist who had been
present at my lecture that he thought I had been pulling their leg.
The neutron was not discovered until 1932 so it is
against this background that we trace the beginnings of quantum
theory back to 1859.
In 1859 Gustav
Kirchhoff proved
a theorem about blackbody radiation. A blackbody is an object that
absorbs all the energy that falls upon it and, because it reflects
no light, it would appear black to an observer. A blackbody is also
a perfect emitter and Kirchhoff proved
that the energy emitted E depends
only on the temperature T and
the frequency v of
the emitted energy, i.e.
E = J (T,v)
He challenged physicists to find the function J.
In 1879 Josef
Stefan proposed,
on experimental grounds, that the total energy emitted by a hot body
was proportional to the fourth power of the temperature. In the
generality stated by Stefanthis
is false. The same conclusion was reached in 1884 by Ludwig
Boltzmann for
blackbody radiation, this time from theoretical considerations using
thermodynamics and Maxwell's
electromagnetic theory. The result, now known as the Stefan-Boltzmann law,
does not fully answer Kirchhoff's
challenge since it does not answer the question for specific
wavelengths.
In 1896 Wilhelm
Wien proposed
a solution to the Kirchhoff challenge.
However although his solution matches experimental observations
closely for small values of the wavelength, it was shown to break
down in the far infrared by Rubens and Kurlbaum.
Kirchhoff had
been at Heidelberg, moved to Berlin. Boltzmann was
offered his chair in Heidelberg but turned it down. The chair was
then offered to Hertz who also declined the offer, so it was offered
again, this time to Planck and
he accepted.
Rubens visited Planck in
October 1900 and explained his results to him. Within a few hours of
Rubens leaving Planck's
house Planck had
guessed the correct formula for Kirchhoff's Jfunction.
This guess fitted experimental evidence at all wavelengths very well
but Planck was
not satisfied with this and tried to give a theoretical derivation
of the formula. To do this he made the unprecedented step of
assuming that the total energy is made up of indistinguishable
energy elements - quanta of energy. He wrote
Experience will
prove whether this hypothesis is realized in nature
Planck himself
gave credit to Boltzmann for
his statistical method but Planck's
approach was fundamentally different. However theory had now
deviated from experiment and was based on a hypothesis with no
experimental basis.
In 1901 Ricci and Levi-Civita published Absolute
differential calculus. It
had been Christoffel's
discovery of 'covariant differentiation' in 1869 which let Ricci extend
the theory of tensor analysis to Riemannian space of n dimensions.
The Ricci and Levi-Civita definitions
were thought to give the most general formulation of a tensor. This
work was not done with quantum theory in mind but, as so often
happens, the mathematics necessary to embody a physical theory had
appeared at precisely the right moment.
In 1905 Einstein examined
the photoelectric effect. The photoelectric effect is the release of
electrons from certain metals or semiconductors by the action of
light. The electromagnetic theory of light gives results at odds
with experimental evidence. Einstein proposed
a quantum theory of light to solve the difficulty and then he
realized that Planck's
theory made implicit use of the light quantum hypothesis. By 1906 Einstein had
correctly guessed that energy changes occur in a quantum material
oscillator in changes in jumps which are multiples of hv where
h isPlanck's
reduced constant and v is
the frequency.
E=nhv, h=6.626 times 10-34 joule-second
In 1913 Niels
Bohr wrote
a revolutionary paper on the hydrogen atom. He discovered the major
laws of the spectral lines.
Arthur Compton derived relativistic kinematics for
the scattering of a photon (a light quantum) off an electron at rest
in 1923.
However there were concepts in
the new quantum theory which gave major worries to many leading
physicists. Einstein,
in particular, worried about the element of 'chance' which had
entered physics. In fact Rutherford had introduced spontaneous
effect when discussing radio-active decay in 1900. In 1924 Einstein wrote:
There are therefore
now two theories of light, both indispensable, and - as one must
admit today despite twenty years of tremendous effort on the part of
theoretical physicists - without any logical connection.
In the same year, 1924, Bohr,
Kramers and Slater made important theoretical proposals regarding
the interaction of light and matter which rejected the photon.
Although the proposals were the wrong way forward they stimulated
important experimental work. Bohr addressed
certain paradoxes in his work.
(i) How can energy be conserved when some energy
changes are continuous and some are discontinuous, i.e. change by
quantum amounts.
(ii) How does the electron know when to emit radiation?
Einstein had
been puzzled by paradox (ii) and Pauli quickly
told Bohr that
he did not believe his theory. Further experimental work soon ended
any resistance to belief in the electron. Other ways had to be found
to resolve the paradoxes.
Up to this stage quantum theory was set up in
Euclidean space and used Cartesian tensors of linear and angular
momentum. However, quantum theory was about to enter a new area.
The year 1924 saw the
publication of another fundamental paper. It was written by Satyendra
Nath Bose and
rejected by a referee for publication. Bose then
sent the manuscript to Einsteinwho
immediately saw the importance of Bose's
work and arranged for its publication. Boseproposed
different states for the photon. He also proposed that there is no
conservation of the number of photons. Instead of statistical
independence of particles, Bose put
particles into cells and talked about statistical independence of
cells. Time has shown that Bose was
right on all these points.
Work was going on at almost
the same time as Bose's
which was also of fundamental importance. The doctoral thesis of Louis
de Broglie was
presented which extended the particle-wave duality for light to all
particles, in particular to electrons. Schrödinger in
1926 published a paper giving his equation for the hydrogen atom and
heralded the birth of wave mechanics.Schrödinger introduced
operators associated with each dynamical variable.
The year 1926 saw the complete
solution of the derivation of Planck's
law after 26 years. It was solved by Dirac.
Also in 1926 Born abandoned
the causality of traditional physics. Speaking of collisions Born wrote
One does not get an answer to the question, what
is the state after collision? but only to the question, How probable
is a given effect of the collision? From the standpoint of our
quantum mechanics, there is no quantity which causally fixes the
effect of a collision in an individual event.
Heisenberg wrote
his first paper on quantum mechanics in 1925 and 2 years later
stated his uncertainty principle. It states that the process of
measuring the position x of
a particle disturbs the particle's momentum p,
so that

where Dx is
the uncertainty of the position and Dp is
the uncertainty of the momentum. Here h isPlanck's
constant and is usually
called the 'reduced Planck's
constant'. Heisenberg states
that
The no validity of
rigorous causality is necessary and not just consistently possible.
The uncertainty can also be stated in terms of the
energy of a particle in a particular state, and the time in which
the particle is in that state:

Heisenberg's
work used matrix methods made possible by the work of Cayley on
matrices 50 years earlier. In fact 'rival' matrix mechanics deriving
from Heisenberg's
work and wave mechanics resulting from Schrödinger's
work now entered the arena. These were not properly shown to be
equivalent until the necessary mathematics was developed by Riesz about
25 years later.
Also in 1927 Bohr stated
that space-time coordinates and causality is complementary. Paulirealised
that spin, one of the states proposed by Bose,
corresponded to a new kind of tensor, one not covered by the Ricci and Levi-Civita work
of 1901. However the mathematics of this had been anticipated by Eli
Cartan who
introduced a 'spinor' as part of a much more general investigation
in 1913.
Dirac,
in 1928, gave the first solution of the problem of expressing
quantum theory in a form which was invariant under the Lorentz group
of transformations of special relativity. He expressed d'Alembert's
wave equation in terms of operator algebra.

the way science understands the nature of waves and particles.
Special Relativity
Newton's laws of motion
give us a complete description of the behavior moving objects at low
speeds. The laws are different at speeds reached by the particles at
SLAC.
Einstein's Special Theory
of Relativity describes the motion of particles moving at close to
the speed of light. In fact, it gives the correct laws of motion for
any particle. This doesn't mean Newton was wrong; his equations are
contained within the relativistic equations. Newton's "laws" provide
a very good approximate form, valid when v is
much less than c.
For particles moving at slow speeds (very much less than the speed
of light), the differences between Einstein's laws of motion and
those derived by Newton are tiny. That's why relativity doesn't play
a large role in everyday life. Einstein's theory supercedes
Newton's, but Newton's theory provides a very good approximation for
objects moving at everyday speeds.
Einstein's theory is now
very well established as the correct description of motion of
relativistic objects that is those traveling at a significant
fraction of the speed of light.
Because most of us have
little experience with objects moving at speeds near the speed of
light, Einstein's predictions may seem strange. However, many years
of high energy physics experiments have thoroughly tested Einstein's
theory and shown that it fits all results to date.
Theoretical Basis for Special Relativity
Einstein's theory of
special relativity results from two statements -- the two basic
postulates of special relativity:
1. The
speed of light is the same for all observers, no matter what their
relative speeds.
2. The
laws of physics are the same in any inertial (that is,
non-accelerated) frame of reference. This means that the laws of
physics observed by a hypothetical observer traveling with a
relativistic particle must be the same as those observed by an
observer who is stationary in the laboratory.
Given these two
statements, Einstein showed how definitions of momentum and energy
must be refined and how quantities such as length and time must
change from one observer to another in order to get consistent
results for physical quantities such as particle half-life. To
decide whether his postulates are a correct theory of nature,
physicists test whether the predictions of Einstein's theory match
observations. Indeed many such tests have been made -- and the
answers Einstein gave are right every time!
The Speed of Light is the same for all observers
The first postulate -- the
speed of light will be seen to be the same relative to any observer,
independent of the motion of the observer -- is the crucial idea
that led Einstein to formulate his theory. It means we can define a
quantity c, the
speed of light, which is a fundamental constant of nature.
Note that this is quite
different from the motion of ordinary, massive objects. If I am
driving down the freeway at 50 miles per hour relative to the road,
a car traveling in the same direction at 55 mph has a speed of only
5 mph relative to me, while a car coming in the opposite direction
at 55 mph approaches me at a rate of 105 mph. Their speed relative
to me depends on my motion as well as on theirs.
Physics is the same for all inertial observers
This second postulate is
really a basic though unspoken assumption in all of science -- the
idea that we can formulate rules of nature which do not depend on
our particular observing situation. This does not mean that things
behave in the same way on the earth and in space, e.g. an observer
at the surface of the earth is affected by the earth's gravity, but
it does mean that the effect of a force on an object is the same
independent of what causes the force and also of where the object is
or what its speed is.
Einstein developed a
theory of motion that could consistently contain both the same speed
of light for any observer and the familiar addition of velocities
described above for slow-moving objects. This is called the special
theory of relativity, since it deals with the relative motions
of objects.
Physicists call particles
with v/c comparable to1 "relativistic" particle.
Particles with v/c< 1
(very much less than one) are "non-relativistic." At SLAC, we are
almost always dealing with relativistic particles. Below we
catalogue some essential differences between the relativistic
quantities the more familiar non-relativistic or low-speed
approximate definitions and behaviors.
Gamma (g)
The measurable effects of
relativity are based on gamma. Gamma depends only on the speed of a
particle and is always larger than 1. By definition:

c is
the speed of light v is
the speed of the object in question
What do these gamma
values tell us about the relativistic effects detected at SLAC?
Notice; when the speed of the object is very much less than the
speed of light (v << c), gamma
is approximately equal to1. This is a non-relativistic situation
(Newtonian).
Momentum
For
non-relativistic objects Newton defined momentum, given the symbol p, as
the product of mass and velocity - p
= m v. When speed
becomes relativistic, we have to modify this definition -- p
= gamma (mv)

Notice that this
equation tells you that for any particle with a non-zero mass, the
momentum gets larger and larger as the speed gets closer to the
speed of light. Such a particle would have infinite momentum if it
could reach the speed of light. Since it would take an infinite
amount of force (or a finite force acting over an infinite amount of
time) to accelerate a particle to infinite momentum, we are forced
to conclude that a massive particle always travels at speeds less
than the speed of light.
Energy
Probably the most famous
scientific equation of all time, first derived by Einstein is the
relationship
E = mc2
This tells us the
energy corresponding to a mass m at rest. What this means is that
when mass disappears, for example in a nuclear fission process, this
amount of energy must appear in some other form. It also tells us
the total energy of a particle of mass m sitting at rest.
Einstein also
showed that the correct relativistic expression for the energy of a
particle of mass m with momentum p is
E2 =
m2c4 +
p2c2
This is a key
equation for any real particle, giving the relationship between its
energy E momentum p, and its rest mass m (it means m0).
The energy E is
the total energy of a freely moving particle. We
can define it to be the rest energy plus kinetic energy (E = KE
+ mc2) which then defines a relativistic form for
kinetic energy. Just as the equation for momentum has to be altered,
so does the low-speed equation for kinetic energy, KE
= (1/2) mv2
In fact Einstein's
relationship tells us more; it says Energy
and mass are interchangeable.Or,
better said, rest mass is just one form of energy. For a compound
object, the mass of the composite is not just the sum of the masses
of the constituents but the sum of their energies, including
kinetic, potential, and mass energy. The equation E=mc2 shows
how to convert between energy units and mass units. Even a small
mass corresponds to a significant amount of energy.
In the case of an
atomic explosion, mass energy is released as kinetic energy of the
resulting material, which has slightly less mass than the original
material.
In any particle decay process,
some of the initial mass energy becomes kinetic energy of the
products.
Peculiar Relativistic Effects
One of the
strangest parts of special relativity is the conclusion that two
observers who are moving relative to one another, will get different
measurements of the length of a particular object or the time that
passes between two events.
Consider two observers, each in a space-ship
laboratory containing clocks and meter sticks. The space ships are
moving relative to each other at a speed close to the speed of
light. Using Einstein's theory:
Each observer will see the
meter stick of the other as shorter than their own, by the same
factor gamma (- defined above).
This is called length
contraction.
Each observer will see the clocks in the other
laboratory as ticking more slowly than the clocks in his/her own, by
a factor gamma. This is called time
dilation.
In particle accelerators,
particles are moving very close to the speed of light where the
length and time effects are large. This has allowed us to clearly
verify that length contraction and time dilation do occur.
General Relativity
Newton's theory of gravitation
was soon accepted without question, and it remained unquestioned
until the beginning of this century. Then Albert
Einstein shook
the foundations of physics with the introduction of his Special
Theory of Relativity in 1905, and his General Theory of Relativity
in 1915. Newton's Law of Gravitation was only approximately correct,
breaking down in the presence of very strong gravitational fields.
Principle of Equivalence
Experiments performed
in a uniformly accelerating reference frame with acceleration a are
indistinguishable from the same experiments performed in a
non-accelerating reference frame which is situated in a
gravitational field where;
The acceleration of
gravity = g = -a = intensity of gravity field.
This theory, referred to as the General
Theory of Relativity, proposed that matter causes space to
curve.
Embedding Diagrams; Picture
a bowling ball on a stretched rubber sheet.

The large ball will
cause a deformation in the sheet's surface. A baseball dropped onto
the sheet will roll toward the bowling ball. Einstein theorized that
smaller masses travel toward larger masses not because they are
"attracted" by a mysterious force, but because the smaller objects
travel through space that is warped by the larger object. Physicists
illustrate this idea using embedding
diagrams.
We shall consider
Relativity in more detail later.
Here, we only summarize the differences between Newton's theory of
gravitation and the theory of gravitation implied by the General
Theory of Relativity. They make essentially identical predictions as
long as the strength of the gravitational field is weak, which is
our usual experience. However, there are three crucial predictions
where the two theories diverge, and thus can be tested with careful
experiments.
1- The
orientation of Mercury's orbit is found to process in space over
time, as indicated in the adjacent figure (the magnitude of the
effect is greatly exaggerated in this figure). This is commonly
called the "precession of the perihelion", because it causes the
position of the perihelion to move. Only part of this can be
accounted for by perturbations in Newton's theory. There is an extra
43 seconds of arc per century in this precession that is predicted
by the Theory of General Relativity and observed to occur (a second
of arc is 1/3600 of an angular degree). This effect is extremely
small, but the measurements are very precise and can detect such
small effects very well.

2- The
General Theory of Relativity predicts that light coming from a
strong gravitational field should have its wavelength shifted to
larger values (what astronomers call a "red shift"), again contrary
to Newton's theory. Once again, detailed observations indicate such
a red shift, and that its magnitude is correctly given by Einstein's
theory.

3- Einstein's
theory predicts that the direction of light propagation should be
changed in a gravitational field, contrary to the Newtonian
predictions. Precise observations indicate that Einstein is right,
both about the effect and its magnitude. A striking consequence is gravitational
lensing.

4- The
electromagnetic field can have waves in
it that carry energy and that we call light. Likewise, the
gravitational field can have waves that carry energy and are called gravitational
waves. These may be thought of as ripples in the curvature
of space-time that
travel at the speed of light.
Just as accelerating charges can emit electromagnetic waves,
accelerating masses can emit gravitational waves. However
gravitational waves are difficult to detect because they are very
weak and no conclusive evidence has yet been reported for their
direct observation. They have been observed indirectly in
the binary
pulsar. Because the arrival
time of pulses from the pulsarcan
be measured very precisely, it can be determined that the period of
the binary system is gradually decreasing. It is found that the rate
of period change (about 75 millionths of a second each year) is what
would be expected for energy being lost to gravitational radiation,
as predicted by the Theory of General Relativity.
5- As
photons escape through a gravitational field, they lose energy,
decreasing
frequency and increasing
wavelength, it calls redshift. And when photons fall in a
gravitational field, they
take energy, increasing frequency and decreasing wavelength
that calls blueshift. The
gravitational redshift and blueshift equations are:

G is the gravitational
constant; M is the mass of the body
c is the velocity of
light, r is the distance from the body
The plus sign is for when
photon is falling (Blue-shift) and minus sign is for when photon
escapes a gravitational field (red-shift).
Gravitational Time Dilation
Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity predicted
that time does not flow at a fixed rate: moving clocks appear to
tick more slowly relative to their stationary counterparts. But this
effect only becomes really significant at very high velocities that
approach the speed of light.
When "generalized" to include gravitation, the
equations of relativity predict that gravity, or the curvature of
space-time by matter not only stretches or shrinks distances
(depending on their direction with respect to the gravitational
field) but also will appear to slow down or "dilate" the flow of
time.
In most circumstances in the universe, such time
dilation is miniscule, but it can become very significant when
space-time is curved by a massive object such as a black hole. For
example, an observer far from a black hole would observe time
passing extremely slowly for an astronaut falling through the holes
boundary. In fact, the distant observer would never see the hapless
victim actually fall in. His or her time, as measured by the
observer, would appear to stand still.
Black Hole
We know escape
velocity is 11.2 km/s on the earth. What escape velocity is? Suppose
an object with mass m and velocity v is moving upward the earth.
When it loses its kinetic energy comes back to earth. With which
velocity it never comes back to the surface of earth? It calls
escape velocity that.

Photons always travel at the
speed of light, but they lose energy when traveling out of a
gravitational field and appear to be redder to an external observer.
The stronger the gravitational field, the more energy the photons
lose because of this gravitational
redshift. The
extreme case is a black hole where photons from within a certain
radius lose all their energy and become invisible. Indeed, light in
the vicinity of such strong gravitational fields exhibits quite
bizarre behavior.
Event Horizons
The event horizon is the point outside the black hole
where the gravitational attraction becomes so strong that the escape
velocity (the velocity at which an object would have to go to escape
the gravitational field) equals the speed of light. According to the
relativity theory no object can exceed the speed of light that means
that nothing, not even light, could escape the black hole once it is
inside this distance from the center of the black hole. A more
fundamental way of viewing this is that in a black hole the
gravitational field is so intense that it bends space and time
around itself so that inside the event horizon there are literally
no paths in space and time that lead to the outside of the black
hole: No matter what direction you went, you would find that your
path led back to the center of the black hole, where the singularity
is found.

Massive body curves space-time so much that light
cannot escape.
How is a stellar black hole created?
A common type of black hole is the type produced by
some dying stars. A star with a mass greater than 20 times the mass
of our Sun may produce a black hole at the end of its life. In the
normal life of a star there is a constant tug of war between gravity
pulling in and pressure pushing out. Nuclear reactions in the core
of the star produce enough energy to push outward. For most of a
star's life, gravity and pressure balance each other exactly, and so
the star is stable. However, when a star runs out of nuclear fuel,
gravity gets the upper hand and the material in the core is
compressed even further. The more massive core of the star, the
greater the force of gravity that compresses the material,
collapsing it under its own weight. For small stars, when the
nuclear fuel is exhausted and there are no more nuclear reactions to
fight gravity, the repulsive forces among electrons within the star
eventually create enough pressure to halt further gravitational
collapse. The star then cools and dies peacefully. This type of star
is called the "white dwarf." When a very massive star exhausts its
nuclear fuel it explodes as a supernova. The outer parts of the star
are expelled violently into space, while the core completely
collapses under its own weight.
To create a massive core a progenitor (ancestral)
star would need to be at least 20 times more massive than our Sun.
If the core is very massive (approximately 2.5 times more massive
than the Sun), no known repulsive force inside a star can push back
hard enough to prevent gravity from completely collapsing the core
into a black hole. Then the core compacts into a mathematical point
with virtually zero volume, where it is said to have infinite
density. This is referred to as a singularity. When this happens,
escape would require a velocity greater than the speed of light. No
object can reach the speed of light. The distance from the black
hole at which the escape velocity is just equal to the speed of
light is called the event horizon. Anything, including light that
passes across the event horizon toward the black hole is forever
trapped.
Quantum field theory
Quantum field theory is a branch of quantum mechanics
that study of the quantum mechanical interaction of elementary
particles and fields.
Quantum field theory applied to the understanding of
electromagnetism is called quantum
electrodynamics (QED),
and it has proved spectacularly successful in describing the
interaction of light with matter. The calculations, however, are
often complex. They are usually carried out with the aid of Feynman
diagrams (named after American physicist Richard P. Feynman),
simple graphs that represent possible variations of interactions and
provide an elegant shorthand for precise mathematical equations.
Quantum field theory applied to the understanding of the strong
interactions between
quarks and between protons,neutrons,
and other baryons and mesons is
called quantum
chromodynamics (QCD);
QCD has a mathematical structure similar to that of QED
Quantum electrodynamics
Quantum
electrodynamics (QED), quantum
field theory that
describes the properties of electromagnetic
radiation and
its interaction with electrically charged matter in the framework of quantum
theory. QED deals with processes involving
the creation of elementary
particles from
electromagnetic energy, and with the reverse processes in which a
particle and its antiparticle annihilate each other and produce
energy. The fundamental equations of QED apply to the emission and
absorption of light by atoms and the basic interactions of light
with electrons and
other elementary particles. Charged particles interact by emitting
and absorbing photons, the
particles of light that transmit electromagnetic forces. For this
reason, QED is also known as the quantum theory of light.
QED
is based on the elements of quantum mechanics laid down by such
physicists as P. A. M.Dirac,
W. Heisenberg,
and W. Pauli during
the 1920s, when photons were first postulated. In 1928 Dirac
discovered an equation describing the motion of electrons that
incorporated both the requirements of quantum theory and the theory
of special relativity.
During the 1930s, however, it became clear that QED as it was then
postulated gave the wrong answers for some relatively elementary
problems. For example, although QED correctly described the magnetic
properties of the electron and its antiparticle, the positron, it
proved difficult to calculate specific physical quantities such as
the mass and charge of the particles. It was not until the late
1940s, when experiments conducted during World War II that had used
microwave techniques stimulated further work, that these
difficulties were resolved. Proceeding independently, Freeman J.
Dyson, Richard P. Feynman and
Julian S. Schwinger in the United States and Shinichiro Tomonaga in
Japan refined and fully developed QED. They showed that two charged
particles can interact in a series of processes of increasing
complexity, and that each of these processes can be represented
graphically through a diagramming technique developed by Feynman.
Not only do these diagrams provide an intuitive picture of the
process but they show how to precisely calculate the variables
involved. The mathematical structures of QED later were adapted to
the study of the strong
interactions between
quarks, which is called quantum
chromodynamics.
Quantum Chromodynamics
Quantum chromodynamic (QCD), quantum
field theory that
describes the properties of thestrong
interactions between
quarks and between protons and neutrons in
the framework ofquantum
theory.
Quarks possess a distinctive property called color that governs
their binding together to form other elementary
particles.
Analogous to electric charge in charged particles, color is of three
varieties, arbitrarily designated as red, blue, and yellow,
andanalogous to positive and negative chargesthree anticolor
varieties. Just as positively and negatively charged particles form
electrically neutral atoms, colored quarks form particles with no
net color. Quarks interact by emitting and absorbing massless
particles called gluons,
each of which carries a color-anticolor pair. Eight kinds of gluons
are required to transmit the strong force between quarks, e.g., a
blue quark might interact with a yellow quark by exchanging a
blue-antiyellow gluonThe concept of color was proposed by American
physicist Oscar Greenberg and independently by Japanese physicist
Yoichiro Nambu in 1964. The theory was confirmed in 1979 when quarks
were shown to emit gluons during studies of high-energy particle
collisions at the German national laboratory in Hamburg. QCD is
nearly identical in mathematical structure toquantum
electrodynamics (QED)
and to the unified theory of weak and electromagnetic interactions
advanced by American physicist Steven Weinberg and
Pakistani physicist AbdusSalam.
Quantum
Gravity
The quantum gravity group carries out research on
various aspects of quantum gravity as well as on some allied areas
of mathematical physics, including certain topics in quantum
mechanics and also in classical general relativity. A particular
interest of the research group is the subject of quantum field
theory in curved space-time. Our work often makes use of rigorous
techniques drawn from functional analysis (e.g. the theory of
operators on Hilbert spaces) or other areas of pure mathematics
While a satisfactory theory of full quantum gravity
continues to elude us, the attempt to anticipate some of the
properties of such a theory has led to many interesting
developments. Especially, Hawkinss 1974 prediction of black hole
evaporation, which was based on consideration of quantum field
theory in curved space-time, suggests that there must be
yet-to-be-discovered deep interconnections between quantum theory,
gravity and thermodynamics. More generally, the very existence of
the problem of quantum gravity has changed our perspective on each
of the separate theories of classical general relativity and quantum
field theory and focused attention on issues (e.g. the problem of
singularities in classical general relativity or the problem of
locality in quantum field theory) which might be expected to be of
relevance for the unification problem. Further, both at the
theoretical and experimental/observational level, the two subject
areas have now essentially merged, with very-high-energy phenomena
believed to have dominated the era just after the big bang and hence
to have determined the present structure of the universe.
General relativity may be regarded as a constrained
dynamical system. Although there is a standard method for quantizing
constrained systems, due to Dirac,
there are obstacles to applying this method to general relativity.
There has been a claim that these obstacles can be overcome, and
Higuchi is currently trying to determine whether or not this claim
is justified.
The standard model
Through a combination of theory and experiment, a
mathematical model that describes or explains all particle physics
observed so far by physicists has been worked out. This model is
called the Standard Model. From the experimental point of view, the
Standard Model is studied and confirmed so well that things are,
well, almost boring.
The
Standard Model consists of elementary particles grouped into two
classes: bosons (particles that transmit forces) and fermions
(particles that make up matter).
The bosons have particle spin that is 0, 1 or 2. The
fermions have spin 1/2.

The
table above lists the elementary particles in the Standard Model
that transmit the four forces observed in Nature. Note that the
graviton isn't technically part of the Standard Model but we'll
include it anyway. The Standard Model is from a technical standpoint
incompatible with gravity, and that's why string theory became an
active field of theoretical physics.
When
we say that quarks and gluons are observed "indirectly", we mean
that evidence of their existence inside hadrons exists but these
particles have not been observed singly. In the theory of quarks and
gluons, they are believed to be confined inside hadrons and
unobservable as single particles, except possibly at extremely high
temperatures such as could be found very early in the Big Bang.
Particles that make up matter
The
fermions in the Standard Model, particles that make up matter, seem
to be grouped intothree generations. Notice that
the quarks with charge 2/3 come in a group of three, as do the
quarks with charge -1/3, as do the electron, muon and tau, and the
electron, muon and tau neutrinos. In each group, the heavier
particles are shown in the larger type.
Theoretical
physics has not explained why there are three generations of
particles that make up matter. Maybe string theory will come up with
an answer for this.

One part of the Standard Model
is not yet well established. We do not know what causes thefundamental
particles to
have masses. The simplest idea is called the Higgs
mechanism. This mechanism involves one additional particle,
called the Higgs boson, and one additional
force type, mediated by
exchanges of this boson .
The Higgs particle has not yet
been observed. Today we can only say that if it exists, it must have
a mass greater than about 80GeV/c2. Searches for a more
massive the Higgs boson are beyond the scope of the present
facilities at SLAC or elsewhere. Future facilities, such as theLarge
Hadron Collider at CERN,
or upgrades of present facilities to higher energies are intended to
search for the Higgs particle and distinguish between competing
concepts.
Thus, this one aspect of the
Standard Model does not yet have the status of "theory"
but still remains in the realm of hypothesis or model.
How Particles Acquire Mass?
We know a good deal about why the nucleus is so
small. We do not know, however, how the particles get their masses.
Why are the masses what they are? Why are the ratios of masses what
they are? We can't be said to understand the constituents of matter
if we don't have a satisfactory answer to this question.
Peter Higgs has a model in which particle masses
arise in a beautiful, but complex, progression. He starts with a
particle that has only mass, and no other characteristics, such as
charge, that distinguish particles from empty space. We can call his
particle H. H interacts with other particles; for example if H is
near an electron, there is a force between the two. H is of a class
of particles called "bosons". We first attempt a more precise, but
non-mathematical statement of the point of the model; then we give
explanatory pictures.
In the mathematics of quantum mechanics describing
creation and annihilation of elementary particles, as observed at
accelerators, particles at particular points arise from "fields"
spread over space and time. Higgs found that parameters in the
equations for the field associated with the particle H can be chosen
in such a way that the lowest energy state of that field (empty
space) is one with the field not zero. It is surprising that the
field is not zero in empty space, but the result, not an obvious
one, is: all particles that can interact with H gain mass from the
interaction.
Thus mathematics links the existence of H to a
contribution to the mass of all particles with which H interacts. A
picture that corresponds to the mathematics is of the lowest energy
state, "empty" space, having a crown of H particles with no energy
of their own. Other particles get their masses by interacting with
this collection of zero-energy H particles. The mass (or inertia or
resistance to change in motion) of a particle comes from its being
"grabbed at" by Higgs particles when we try and move it.
If particles no get their masses from interacting
with the empty space Higgs field, then the Higgs particle must
exist; but we can't be certain without finding the Higgs. We have
other hints about the Higgs; for example, if it exists, it plays a
role in "unifying" different forces. However, we believe that nature
could contrive to get the results that would flow from the Higgs in
other ways. In fact, proving the Higgs particle does not exist would
be scientifically every bit as valuable as proving it does.
These questions, the mechanisms by which particles
get their masses, and the relationship among different forces of
nature, are major ones and so basic to having an understanding of
the constituents of matter and the forces among them, that it is
hard to see how we can make significant progress in our
understanding of the stuff of which the earth is made without
answering them.
Over the past few decades, particle physicists have
developed an elegant theoretical model (the Standard Model) that
gives a framework for our current understanding of the fundamental
particles and forces of nature. One major ingredient in this model
is a hypothetical, ubiquitous quantum field that is supposed to be
responsible for giving particles their masses (this field would
answer the basic question of why particles have the masses they
do--or indeed, why they have any mass at all). This field is called
the Higgs field. As a consequence of wave-particle duality, all
quantum fields have a fundamental particle associated with them. The
particle associated with the Higgs field is called the Higgs boson.
Much of today's research in elementary particle
physics focuses on the search for a particle called the Higgs boson.
This particle is the one missing piece of our present understanding
of the laws of nature, known as the Standard Model. This model
describes three types of forces: electromagnetic interactions, which
cause all phenomena associated with electric and magnetic fields and
the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation; strong interactions,
which bind atomic nuclei; and the weak nuclear force, which governs
beta decay--a form of natural radioactivity--and hydrogen fusion,
the source of the sun's energy. (The Standard Model does not
describe the fourth force, gravity.)
In our daily lives, electromagnetism is the most
familiar of these forces. Until relatively recently, it was the only
one which we understood well. Since the 1970s, however, scientists
have come to understand the strong and weak forces almost equally
well. In the past few years, in high-energy experiments at CERN, the
European laboratory for particle physics, near Geneva and at the
Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC), physicists have made
precision tests of the Standard Model. It seems to provide a
complete description of the natural world down to scales on the
order of one- thousandth the size of an atomic nucleus.
The Higgs particle is connected with the weak force.
Electromagnetism describes particles interacting with photons, the
basic units of the electromagnetic field. In a parallel way, the
modern theory of weak interactions describes particles (the W and Z particles)
interacting with electrons, neutrinos, quarks and other particles.
In many respects, these particles are similar to photons. But they
are also strikingly different. The photon probably has no mass at
all. From experiments, we know that a photon can be no more massive
than a thousand-billion-billion-billionth (10 -30)
the mass of an electron, and for theoretical reasons, we believe it
has exactly zero mass. The W and Z particles,
however, have enormous masses: more than 80 times the mass of a
proton, one of the constituents of an atomic nucleus.
What is String Theory?
Think of a guitar string
that has been tuned by stretching the string under tension across
the guitar. Depending on how the string is plucked and how much
tension is in the string, different musical notes will be created by
the string. These musical notes could be said to be excitation
modes of that
guitar string under tension.
In a similar manner, in string theory, the elementary particles we
observe in particle accelerators could be thought of as the "musical
notes" or excitation modes of elementary strings.
In string theory, as in guitar playing, the string must be stretched
under tension in order to become excited. However, the strings in
string theory are floating in space-time; they aren't tied down to a
guitar. Nonetheless, they have tension. The string tension in string
theory is denoted by the quantity 1/(2 p a'), where a' is pronounced
"alpha prime "and is equal to the square of the string length scale.
If string theory is to be a theory of quantum gravity, then the
average size of a string should be somewhere near the length scale
of quantum gravity, called the Planck
length, which is about 10-33 centimeters,
or about a millionth of a billionth of a billionth of a billionth of
a centimeter. Unfortunately, this means that strings are way too
small to see by current or expected particle physics technology (or
financing!!) and so string theorists must devise more clever methods
to test the theory than just looking for little strings in particle
experiments.
String theories are classified according to whether or not the
strings are required to be closed loops, and whether or not the
particle spectrum includes fermions. In order to include fermions in
string theory, there must be a special kind of symmetry called supersymmetry,
which means for every boson (particle that transmits a force) there
is corresponding fermions (particle that makes up matter). So
supersymmetry relates the particles that transmit forces to the
particles that make up matter.
Supersymmetric partners to currently known particles have not been
observed in particle experiments, but theorists believe this is
because supersymmetric particles are too massive to be detected at
current accelerators. Particle accelerators could be on the verge of
finding evidence for high energy supersymmetry in the next decade.
Evidence for supersymmetry at high energy would be compelling
evidence that string theory was a good mathematical model for Nature
at the smallest distance scales.
Why did Strings enter the story?
Once special relativity
was on firm observational and theoretical footing, it was
appreciated that the Schrödinger equation of quantum mechanics was
not Lorentz invariant, therefore quantum mechanics as it was so
successfully developed in the 1920s was not a reliable description
of nature when the system contained particles that would move at or
near the speed of light.
The problem is that the Schrödinger equation is first order in time
derivatives but second order in spatial derivatives. The
Klein-Gordon equation is second order in both time and space and has
solutions representing particles with spin 0.

Dirac came up with "square
root" of Klein-Gordon equation using matrices called "gamma
matrices", and the solutions turned out to be particles of spin 1/2:

where the matrix hmn is
the metric of flat space-time. But the problem with relativistic
quantum mechanics is that the solutions of the Dirac and
Klein-Gordon equation have instabilities that turn out to represent
the creation and
annihilation of virtual particles from
essentially empty space.
Further understanding led to the development of relativistic
quantum field theory, beginning with quantum
electrodynamics, or QED for
short, pioneered by Feynman, Schwinger and Tomonaga in the 1940s. In
quantum field theory, the behaviors and properties of elementary
particles can calculate using a series of diagrams, called Feynman
diagrams, which properly account for the creation and
annihilation of virtual particles.

The set of the
Feynman diagrams for the scattering of two electrons looks like

The straight black lines
represent electrons.
The green wavy line represents a photon,
or in classical terms, the electromagnetic field between the two
electrons that makes them repels one another. Each small black loop represents
a photon creating an electron and a positron, which then annihilate
one another and produce a photon, in what is called a virtual
process. The full scattering amplitude is the sum
of all contributions from all possible loops of
photons, electrons, positrons, and other available particles.
The quantum loop calculation comes with a very big problem. In
order to properly account for all virtual processes in the loops,
one must integrate over all possible values of momentum, from zero
momentum to infinite momentum. But these loop integrals for a
particle of spin J in D dimensions take the approximate form

If the quantity 4J + D - 8
is negative, then the integral behaves fine for infinite momentum
(or zero wavelength, by the de Broglie relation.) If this quantity
is zero or positive, then the integral takes an infinite value, and
the whole theory threatens to make no sense because the calculations
just give infinite answers.
The world that we see has D=4, and the photon has spin J=1. So
for the case of electron-electron scattering, these loop integrals
can still take infinite values. But the integrals go to infinity
very slowly, like the logarithm of momentum and it turns out that in
this case, the theory can be renormalized so
that the
infinities can be absorbed into a redefinition of a small number of
parameters in the theory, such
as the mass and charge of the electron.
Quantum electrodynamics was a renormalize able theory, and by
the 1940, this was regarded as a solved relativistic quantum theory.
But the other known particle forces -- the weak nuclear force that
makes radioactivity, the strong nuclear force that hold neurons and
protons together, and the gravitational force that holds us on the
earth -- weren't so quickly conquered by theoretical physics.
In the 1960s, particle physicists reached towards something
called a dual resonance model in an attempt to describe the strong
nuclear force. The dual model was never that successful at
describing particles, but it was understood by 1970 that the dual
models were actuallyquantum theories of relativistic vibrating
strings and displayed
very intriguing mathematical behavior. Dual models came to be called string
theory as a result.
But in 1971, a new type of quantum field theory came on the
scene that explained the weak nuclear force by uniting it with
electromagnetism into electroweak
theory, and it was shown to be renormalized able. Then similar
wisdom was applied to the strong nuclear force to yieldquantum
chromodynamics, or QCD,
and this theory was also renormalizing able.
Which left one force -- gravity -- couldn't be turned into a
renormalize able field theory no matter how hard anyone tried. One
big problem was that classical gravitational waves carry spin J=2,
so one should assume that a graviton, the quantum particle that
carries the gravitational force, has spin J=2. But for J=2, 4 J - 8
+ D = D, and so for D=4, the loop integral for the gravitational
force would become infinite like the fourth power of momentum, as
the momentum in the loop became infinite.
And that was just hard cheese for particle physicists, and for
many years the best people worked on quantum gravity to no avail.
But the string theory that was once proposed for the strong
interactions contained a massless particle with spin J=2.
In 1974 the question finally was asked: could
string theory be a theory of quantum gravity?
The possible advantage of string theory is that the analog of a
Feynman diagram in string theory is a two-dimensional smooth
surface, and the loop integrals over such a smooth surface lack the
zero-distance, infinite momentum problems of the integrals over
particle loops.
In string theory infinite momentum does not even mean zero
distance, because for strings, the relationship between distance and
momentum is roughly like

The parameter a' (pronounced
alpha prime) is related to the string
tension, the fundamental parameter of string theory, by the
relation;

The above relation implies
a minimum observable length for a quantum string theory of;

The zero-distance behavior
which is so problematic in quantum field theory becomes irrelevant
in string theories, and this makes string theory very attractive as
a theory of quantum gravity.
If string theory is a theory of quantum gravity, then this
minimum length scale should be at least the size of the Planck
length, which is the length scale made by the combination of
Newton's constant, the speed of light and Planck's constant;

Although as we shall see
later, the question of length scales in string theory is complicated
by string duality, which can relate two theories with seemingly
different length scales.
More than just strings
Another surprising revelation was that superstring
theories are not just theories of one-dimensional objects.
There are higher dimensional objects in string theory with
dimensions from zero (points) to nine, called p-branes.
In terms of branes, what we usually call a membrane would be a
two-brane, a string is called a one-brane and a point is called a
zero-brane.
What makes a p-brane? A p-brane is a space-time object that is a
solution to the Einstein equation in the low energy limit of
superstring theory, with the energy density of the no gravitational
fields confined
to some p-dimensional subspace of
the nine space dimensions in the theory. (Remember, superstring
theory lives in ten space-time dimensions, which means one time
dimension plus nine space dimensions.) For example, in a solution
with electric charge, if the energy density in the electromagnetic
field was distributed along a line in space-time, this one-dimensional
line would be
considered a p-brane
with p=1.
A special class of p-branes in string theory is called D
branes. Roughly speaking, a D brane is a p-brane where the
ends of open strings are localized on the brane. A D brane is like a
collective excitation of strings.
These objects took a long time to be discovered in string
theory, because they are buried deep in the mathematics of
T-duality. D branes are important in understanding black holes in
string theory, especially in counting the quantum states that lead
to black
hole entropy,
which was a very big accomplishment for string theory.
How many dimensions?
Before string theory won
the full attention of the theoretical physics community, the most
popular unified theory was an eleven dimensional theory of
supergravity, which is supersymmetry combined with gravity. The
eleven-dimensional space-time was to be compactified on a small
7-dimensional sphere, for example, leaving four space-time
dimensions visible to observers at large distances.
This theory didn't work as a unified theory of particle physics,
because it doesn't have a sensible quantum limit as a point particle
theory. But these eleven dimensional theory would not die. It
eventually came back to life in
the strong coupling limit of superstring theory in ten dimensions.
How could a superstring theory with ten space-time dimensions turn
into a supergravity theory with eleven space-time dimensions? We've
already learned that duality relations between superstring theories
relate very different theories, equate large distance with small
distance, and exchange strong coupling with weak coupling. So there
must be some duality relation that can explain how a superstring
theory that requires ten space-time dimensions for quantum
consistency can really be a theory in eleven space-time dimensions
after all.
Since we know that all string theories are related, and we suspect
that they are but different limits of some more fundamental theory,
then perhaps that more fundamental theory exists in eleven
space-time dimensions? These question bring us to the topic of M
theory.
The theory currently known
as M
Technically speaking, M
theory is is the
unknown eleven-dimensional theory whose low energy limit is the
supergravity theory in eleven dimensions discussed above. However,
many people have taken to also using M
theory to label
the unknown theory believed to be the fundamental theory from which
the known superstring theories emerge as special limits.
We still don't know the fundamental M theory, but a lot has been
learned about the eleven-dimensional M theory and how it relates to
superstrings in ten space-time dimensions.
In M theory, there are also extended objects, but they are called M
branes rather than
D branes. One class of the M branes in this theory has two space
dimensions, and this is called an M2
brane.
Now consider M theory with the tenth space dimension compactified
into a circle of radius R. If one of the two space dimensions that
make up the M2 brane is wound around that circle, then we can equate
the resulting object with the fundamental string (one-brane) of type
IIA superstring theory. The type IIA theory appears to be a ten
dimensional theory in the normal perturbative limit, but reveals an
extra space dimension, and equivalence to M theory, in the limit of
very strong coupling. We
still don't know what the fundamental theory behind string theory is,
but judging from all of these relationships, it must be a very
interesting and rich theory, one where distance scales, coupling
strengths and even the number of dimensions in space-time are not
fixed concepts but fluid entities that shift with our point of view.
The
cosmological constant
When Einstein first studied the universe at large
using the General Theory of Relativity he propounded two following
axioms in 1917:
1- Matter has an average density in space that
universe which was isotropic and homogeneous.
2- The radius of space in depended to time.
Friedman showed if we do cancel the second axiom,
then the first axiom is acceptable. Then Friedman is credited with
developing a dynamic equation for the expanding universe in the
1920s. This was a time when Einstein, Willem de Sitter of the
Netherlands, and Georges Lemaitre of France were also working on
equations to model the universe. Friedman developed it as a
relativistic equation in the framework of general relativity, but
the description here will be limited to a simplified,
non-relativistic version.
A convenient form of Friedman's equation with which
to examine the expansion time and temperature for a big bang model
of the universe is:

By solving this equation we have;

Then by integration we reach to;

So, it shows the radius of universe depends to time.
It means many years before of Hubble, Friedman propounded the
universe is expanding.
The curvature parameter indicates whether the
universe is open or closed.
Another form of Friedmans equation shows by;

That H is the Hubble constant.
Einstein considered adding
another term, the famous (or infamous) cosmological
constantwhich
would produce a static universe.
Einstein proposed a
modification of the Friedman
equation which
models the expanding universe. He added a term which he called the
cosmological constant, which puts the Friedman equation in the form;

The original motivation for the cosmological constant
was to make possible a static universe which was isotropic and
homogeneous. When the expansion of the universe was established
without doubt, Einstein reportedly viewed the cosmological constant
as the "worst mistake I ever made". But the idea of a cosmological
constant is still under active discussion. Rohlf suggests that the
physical interpretation of the cosmological constant was that vacuum
fluctuations affected space time. A non-zero value for the
cosmological constant could be implied from measurements of the
volume densities of distant galaxies, but such measurements give a
negative result, showing an upper bound of;

This implies that on the scale of the whole universe,
vacuum fluctuation effects cancel out. This assessment comes at a
time when theoretical calculations suggest vacuum fluctuation
contributions from quarks on the order of 10^-6 m^-2.
The
Curvature Parameter
The Friedmann
equation which
models the expanding universe has a parameter k called the curvature
parameter which is indicative of the rate of expansion and whether
or not that expansion rate is increasing or decreasing. If k=0 then
the density is equal to a critical value at which the universe will
expand forever at a decreasing rate. This is often referred to as
the Einstein-de Sitter universe in recognition of their work in
modeling it. This k=0 condition can be used to express the critical
density in
terms of the present value of the Hubble parameter.
For k>0 the density is high enough that the
gravitational attraction will eventually stop the expansion and it
will collapse backward to a "big crunch". This kind of universe is
described as being a closed universe, or a gravitationally bound
universe. For k<0 the universe expands forever, there not being
sufficient density for gravitational attraction to stop the
expansion.
Greatest blunder
When Isaac Newton
discovered the law of gravity, he realized that gravity is always
attractive. Every object in the universe attracts every other
object. If the universe truly were finite, the attractive forces of
all the objects in the universe should have caused the entire
universe to collapse on it. This clearly had not happened, and so
astronomers were presented with a paradox.
When Einstein developed his theory of gravity in the
General Theory of Relativity, he thought he ran into the same
problem that Newton did: his equations said that the universe should
be either expanding or collapsing, yet he assumed that the universe
was static. His original solution contained a constant term, called
the cosmological constant, which cancelled the effects of gravity on
very large scales, and led to a static universe. After Hubble
discovered that the universe was expanding, Einstein called the
cosmological constant his "greatest blunder."
At around the same time, larger telescopes were
being built that were able to accurately measure the spectra, or the
intensity of light as a function of wavelength, of faint objects.
Using these new data, astronomers tried to understand the plethora
of faint, nebulous objects they were observing. Between 1912 and
1922, astronomer Vesto Slipher at the Lowell Observatory in Arizona
discovered that the spectrum of light from many of these objects was
systematically shifted to longer wavelengths, or redshifted. A short
time later, other astronomers showed that these nebulous objects
were distant galaxies.
The Discovery of the Expanding Universe
Meanwhile, other physicists and mathematicians
working on Einstein's theory of gravity discovered the equations had
some solutions that described an expanding universe. In these
solutions, the light coming from distant objects would be redshifted
as it traveled through the expanding universe. The redshift would
increase with increasing distance to the object.
In 1929 Edwin Hubble,
working at the Carnegie Observatories in Pasadena, California,
measured the redshifts of a number of distant galaxies. He also
measured their relative distances by measuring the apparent
brightness of a class of variable stars called Cepheids in each
galaxy. When he plotted redshift against relative distance, he found
that the redshift of distant galaxies increased as a linear function
of their distance. The only explanation for this observation is that
the universe was expanding.
The fact that we see all stars moving away from us
does not imply
that we are the center of the universe! All stars
will see all other stars moving away from them in an expanding
universe. A rising loaf of raisin bread is a good visual model: each
raisin will see all other raisins moving away from it as the loaf
expands.
Hubble's law is a statement of
a direct correlation between the distance to a galaxy and its
recessional velocity as determined by the red
shift. It
can be stated as;

Once scientists understood
that the universe was expanding, they immediately realized that it
would have been smaller in the past. At some point in the past, the
entire universe would have been a single point. This point, later
called the big bang, was the beginning of the universe as we
understand it today.
The expanding universe is finite in both time and
space. The reason that the universe did not collapse, as Newton's
and Einstein's equations said it might is that it had been expanding
from the moment of its creation. The universe is in a constant state
of change. The expanding universe, a new idea based on modern
physics, laid to rest the paradoxes that troubled astronomers from
ancient times until the early 20th Century.
Properties of the Expanding Universe
The equations of the
expanding universe have three possible solutions, each of which
predicts a different eventual fate for the universe as a whole.
Which fate will ultimately befall the universe can be determined by
measuring how fast the universe expands relative to how much matter
the universe contains.

The three possible types
of expanding universes are called open, flat, and closed universes.
If the universe were open, it would expand forever. If the universe
were flat, it would also expand forever, but the expansion rate
would slow to zero after an infinite amount of time. If the universe
were closed, it would eventually stop expanding and collapse on
itself again, possibly leading to another big bang. In all three
cases, the expansion slows, and the force that causes the slowing is
gravity.
Big Bang
When
physicists accepted universe is expanding, then problem was that why
and how is universe expanding? The answer was that the universe had
beginning by an great explosion is called Big Bang.
According to the Big Bang theory, the universe began
about 14 billion years ago as an unimaginably hot and dense fog of
light and exotic particles. The Universe has since continuously
expanded and cooled. The whole Universe is bathed in the afterglow
light from the Big Bang. The light that is now reaching us has been
traveling for about 14 billion years, thus allowing us a look back
through time to see the early Universe.
At the big bang itself, the universe is thought to
have had zero size, and so to have been infinitely hot. But as the
universe expanded, the temperature of the radiation decreased. One
second after the big bang, it would have fallen to about ten
thousand million degrees. This is about a thousand times the
temperature at the center of the sun, but temperatures as high as
this are reached in H-bomb explosions
About one hundred seconds after the big bang, the
temperature would have fallen to one thousand million degrees, the
temperature inside the hottest stars
Within only a few hours of the big bang, the
production of helium and other elements would have stopped. And
after that, for the next million years or so, the universe would
have just continued expanding, without anything much happening
According to this theory [strong anthropic
principle], there are either many different universes or many
different regions of a single universe, each with its own initial
configuration and, perhaps, with its own set of laws of science. In
most of these universes the conditions would not be right for the
development of complicated organisms; only in the few universes that
are like ours would intelligent beings develop and ask the question:
"Why is the universe the way we see it?" The answer is then simple:
If it had been different, we would not be here!
The Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation
In 1963, Arno Penzias and
Robert Wilson, two scientists in Holmdale, New Jersey, were working
on a satellite designed to measure microwaves. When they tested the
satellite's antenna, they found mysterious microwaves coming equally
from all directions. At first, they thought something was wrong with
the antenna. But after checking and rechecking, they realized that
they had discovered something real. What they discovered was the
radiation predicted years earlier by Gamow, Herman, and Alpher. The
radiation that Penzias and Wilson discovered is called the Cosmic
Microwave Background Radiation, convinced most astronomers that the
Big Bang theory was correct. For discovering the Cosmic Microwave
Background Radiation, Penzias and Wilson were awarded the 1978 Nobel
Prize in Physics
After Penzias and Wilson
found the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation, astrophysicists
began to study whether they could use its properties to study what
the universe was like long ago. According to Big Bang theory, the
radiation contained information on how matter was distributed over
ten billion years ago, when the universe was only 500,000 years old.
At that time, stars and
galaxies had not yet formed. The Universe consisted of a hot soup of
electrons and atomic nuclei. These particles constantly collided
with the photons that made up the background radiation, which then
had a temperature of over 3000 C.
Soon after, the Universe
expanded enough, and thus the background radiation cooled enough, so
that the electrons could combine with the nuclei to form atoms.
Because atoms were electrically neutral, the photons of the
background radiation no longer collided with them.
When the first atoms
formed, the universe had slight variations in density, which grew
into the density variations we see today - galaxies and clusters.
These density variations should have led to slight variations in the
temperature of the background radiation, and these variations should
still be detectable today. Scientists realized that they had an
exciting possibility: by measuring the temperature variations of the
Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation over different regions of the
sky, they would have a direct measurement of the density variations
in the early universe, over 10 billion years ago.
Accelerating Universe
1998 - The universe is not only expanding, but that
expansion appears to be speeding up. And as if that discovery alone
werent strange enough, it implies that most of the energy in the
cosmos is contained in empty space a concept that Albert Einstein
considered but discarded as his biggest blunder. The new findings
have been recognized as 1998s top scientific breakthrough by
Science magazine.
Last years top breakthrough related to Dolly the
sheep, the high-profile result of cloning experiments. This year,
the topic is a little more esoteric, involving technical discussions
about Type 1A supernovae, redshift, antigravity and a curious
factor known as the cosmological constant, or lambda in geekspeak.
These
observations are explained by postulating a kind of energy with
negative pressure; dark
energy.
Dark energy
The simplest explanation for
dark energy is that it is simply the "cost of having space": that
is, that a volume of space has some intrinsic, fundamental energy.
This is the cosmological constant, sometimes called Lambda (hence Lambda-CDM
model) after the
mathematical symbol used to represent it, the Greek letter Λ. Since
energy and mass are related by E = mc2,
Einstein's theory of general
relativity predicts
that it will have a gravitational effect. It is sometimes called a vacuum
energy because
it is the energy density of empty vacuum.
In fact, most theories of particle
physics predict vacuum
fluctuations that
would give the vacuum exactly this sort of energy. The cosmological
constant is estimated by cosmologists to be on the order of 10−29g/cm3,
or about 10−120 in reduced
Planck units.
The cosmological constant has
negative pressure equal to its energy density and so causes the
expansion of the universe to accelerate (see equation
of state (cosmology)).
The reason why a cosmological constant has negative pressure can be
seen from classical thermodynamics. The work done by a change in
volume dV is
equal to −p dV, where p is
the pressure. But the amount of energy in a box of vacuum energy
actually increases when the volume increases (dV is
positive), because the energy is equal to ρV,
where ρ is
the energy density of the cosmological constant. Therefore, p is
negative and, in fact, p = −ρ.
A major outstanding problem is
that most quantum
field theories predict
a huge cosmological constant from the energy of the quantum vacuum,
up to 120 orders
of magnitude too
large. This would need to be cancelled almost, but not exactly, by
an equally large term of the opposite sign. Some supersymmetric theories
require a cosmological constant that is exactly zero, which does not
help. This is the cosmological
constant problem, the worst problem of fine-tuning in
physics: there is no known natural way to derive, even roughly, the
infinitesimal cosmological constant observed in cosmology from particle
physics. Some
physicists, including Steven
Weinberg, think the
delicate balance of quantum vacuum energy is best explained by theanthropic
principle.
In spite of its problems, the
cosmological constant is in many respects the most economical
solution to
the problem of cosmic acceleration. One number successfully explains
a multitude of observations. Thus, the current standard model of
cosmology, the Lambda-CDM model, includes the cosmological constant
as an essential feature.
Why CPH Theory have propounded?
Of the first let me say that
CPH Stands of: Creation Particle Higgs, in CPH theory we will study
how the fundamental particles were created. The second CPH Theory is
based on a definition of CPH and a simply principle. Also, in
discussion with my dear colleagues
and other guys, I found understanding the properties of CPH and CPH
principle needs a little assiduity. Please do attend that CPH
properties come of theoretical physics ambiguities and experimental
conceptions, that have explain in section two. In this section I
will give you the logical reasons that had make the CPH theory
foundation. In section three you will see definition and principle
of CPH. Section four has a few analyses about CPH Theory. Others
sections belong to explaining the modern physics ambiguities by CPH
theory. In fact CPH theory is an empiric
and sensibility theory. And it does different CPH Theory with other
theories. Shortly, CPH theory proclaims the following conceptions;
1- When
we will be able to explain quantum level phenomenon, that we do
thinking on sub quantum quantities.
2- To
explaining relationship between fermions and bosons, we must do
change our mind of gravity and graviton. In fact graviton behaves
like a charge or magnet force in sub quantum levels.
3- We
never can do combine Quantum mechanics with General Relativity
without attention to Higgs theory. In fact there is an especial
relationship between force and energy like mass and energy in
relativity. This shows we reconsider the second Newtons
law. It shows a unified theory comes up of reconsideration the
quantum mechanics, relativity, Higgs theory and classical mechanics.
These are reasons that I proclaim CPH Theory.
Logical Foundation of CPH Theory
Principle
The business of physics is the abstract
quantification of facts observed in nature. The rules we form for
reconstruction and expression of the observed facts are the laws
of nature andPrinciples
of nature. The distinction between them is tied to
their generality. Principles are considered to be more general and
by implication more basic. For example, the Principle of Least
Action is inferred from several of the force laws and the principle
of Conservation of Energy expresses all the various heat and energy
flow laws.
If the galaxies had been produced by a Big Bang only
that it had happened in universe, we never have been witnessing the
colliding the galaxies. Because, galaxies must were moving speeding
away from each other. But we witness colliding galaxies, how we can
explain it exactly?
1- Newtons
second law and relativity mass-energy;
By Newtons second law an object could take any
velocity to infinity. Infinity of velocity was unexpressive.
Relativity propounded (and had showed) that the velocity has a limit
in nature and infinity speed is not correct. So Einstein considered
the Newtons second law. He found that when an object takes energy,
its mass does increase. So Einstein understood that there is a
relationship between the kinetic energy (increasing velocity) and
mass. On this case Einstein gate the relativity mass with relation:

But Relativity replaced an infinity quantity with
other infinity quantity (mass lieu velocity).
For photon that moves with lights speed, if m was
nonzero, photon must has infinity mass when travels with lights
speed. So he supposed that the rest mass of photon is zero. But
there is not any frame that photon reaches to rest condition.
Relativity claims light and gravity waves move the same velocity as
equal c. Is it an accident that light and the graviton travel at the
same speed?
The fixed light speed is not only emerging from a
natural accident, and photon does form of sub photonic elements that
they move with linear speed before than do form a photon.
In CPH Theory, photon has lots elements that they
move with linear speed in structure of photon and photon does form
at speed of light conditions. So, photon never seems at rest mass.
So, scrutinizing the structure of photon does help us to resolve
many of universes mysteries.
2- Work and
energy
Theoretical physics and evidence show energy is
quantized, according to following relation;

It is not acceptable that energy was being quantized
and work is were continuously, so Work is quantized too.
We know the frequency of photon does change in
gravitational field. When gravity force acts on photon, then energy
of photon does increase and its frequency increases. It
means force is quantized and when applies on photon, gravity force
does convert to
electromagnetic energy.
In CPH Theory a quantum of
work defines by
Wq=Fg.Lp
Wq is a quantum work, Fg
is a quantum of force and Lp is Planks length
Generally work defines with W=nWq=Fg.Lp , like
Planks formula E=nhn
3- Photons
electric field and magnetic field
According modern physics a
photon becomes energy-laden by revolving. We know this because the
electromagnetic fields around a "ray of light" are electromagnetic
waves not static fields. Relativistically, the electromagnetic field
generated by a photon is much stronger than the associated
gravitational field. Further it is not clear at the present time
whether the gravitational field of an energy-laden photon is static
or oscillatory. It is not understood how the photon generates two
sets of fields (electromagnetic and gravitational) of so different
intensities. This is an enigma.
It is resolvable simply, if we do consider to the
effect of gravitational field on light. According red-shift and
blue-shift we know energy (also frequency) of photon changes by
effect of gravity. Also, energy of photon depends to intensity of
its electric field and magnetic field. So, there is an important and
considerable relationship between gravity and electromagnetic field.
This relationship was explained by color-charge and color-magnet in
CPH Theory.
4- Repulsive
gravity force and limitation of speed
We know why and how a star
forms and emits energy or other particle. Also, we know when a star
explodes or collapses and becomes to a neutrino star or a black
hole. But we do not know how and why a black hole explodes?
Also do attend to
repulsive gravity force that of Newtons time to now have not any
answer. In classical mechanics and
relativity have been accepted that repulsive gravitational force and
limitation of speed are two separable items. For that Einstein added
a cosmetically constant to Friedmans equation. But evidences show
this opinion is incorrect. Repulsive gravitational force and
limitation of speed are depends to each other.
In CPH Theory a black hole growth so much and eats
other masses, light and the end it eats gravity and becomes to
absolute black hole. Absolute black hole takes zero hour condition
and explodes. Big Bang is comes up of exploding an absolute black
hole.
4- Age
of universe
How can we calculate The
Universes long time? But we do not know more about the essence of
time. All our knowledge about time is this that time changes from a
system to another system or on a Gravity field. How we can calculate
these changes? By the electromagnetic waves, what are the
electromagnetic waves? They are photons. So we must know more about
the light. We must develop our knowledge about the structure of
photon.
Really without external effects on photon, has it
infinity time-life? When we are able find its answer that we know
the structure of photon and its sub elements.
6- The Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation
Is the cosmic microwave
leaving of Big Bang? If answer is yes, why it reaches to earth from
of all sides of space? The answer of this question is in the
structure of photon.
7- The
Curvature of space
According General
Relativity mass bends space. We know that is correct. But there is a
great problem in General Relativity, because gravity is not a real
force in General Relativity. So, we can not explain why space bends.
For that reason General Relativity and Quantum mechanic does not
combine.
But
CPH Theory is able explain why and how space curves by gravity
field.
8- Pair
Production
Pair
production shows a very interesting idea to resolving the
relationship between fermions and bosons.
Before of
pair production, we have electromagnetic energy only.
But after
of pair production, we see fermions and boson that carries electric
force.
In CPH
Theory fermions produce bosons.
9- Limit of
growing mass or curvature of space
According the Newton's universal gravitational law,
we know that
g=GM/r2
It shows the gravity field around a massive body is
stronger than of a small body. Also, of the General Relativity we
know that the massive body bends space more than the small bodies.
These two theories usually give the same results. In Newtons
universal gravitation growing mass has no limit, and in General
Relativity density growth to infinity and volume goes to zero.
It is not acceptable, so in CPH Theory over than
growing mass has a limit, no body has zero volume specially before
of big bang.
