Death Of Peter Higgs

Peter Higgs, who theorized the existence of the Higgs Boson, recently died. The Higgs Boson is the "messenger particle" that supposedly gives matter it's mass.

Discovering the Higgs Boson didn't involve just looking for it today. The high-energy conditions of the early universe had to be recreated in particle accelerators where particles, mostly protons, are accelerated to very high speeds by magnetic fields and then smashed together.

The Higgs Boson was theorized to have been manifested by a "Higgs Field" in the early universe. This Higgs Field was originally symmetrical, but then the symmetry was broken and that is what ended up giving matter it's mass.

What do you notice here, if you are familiar with my cosmology theory?

In my cosmology theory the space of the universe began with a single electric charge, whether it was a negative or a positive charge. But that created an electrical imbalance and so the single original charge induced opposite electric charges on either side of it. But that created another electrical imbalance and copies of the original charge were induced on either side of the two newer electric charges. But this mutual induction of electric charges could never eliminate the electric imbalance altogether so the replication of opposite electric charges continued indefinitely, probably in an infinite number of dimensions.

This is how the space of the universe formed. Space is a checkerboard of alternating negative and positive electric charges in multiple dimensions. The charges perfectly balance out so there is no net electromagnetism. Electromagnetic waves are so-called because they disturb this underlying balance.

At one point something else happened. The charge replication process started over, but within space that already existed. This new space development was confined to two dimensions, due to the pressure of the electric charges of the surrounding background space. The result was what my cosmology theory has as the original two-dimensional sheet of space.

This two-dimensional sheet existed within the surrounding background space but it's alternating checkerboard of electric charges were not contiguous with those of the background space. The pressure of the electric charges of the surrounding space caused charge migration to take place within the two-dimensional sheet, mostly positive charges to one side and mostly negative to the other, in order to bring about a lower-energy state.

Being non-contiguous and not coordinated with the surrounding background space the negative and positive sides of this two-dimensional sheet came into contact with each other. This caused the great matter-antimatter reaction that we perceive as the Big Bang, which began the universe as we know it. One of the two dimensions of the two-dimensional sheet disintegrated into the energy in the universe. The other dimension remained as the one-dimensional strings comprising matter in the universe. 

The space, some of the energy of it's disintegrating dimension transforming the remaining dimension into matter, of this two-dimensional sheet was scattered, by the Big Bang, over four dimensions of the background space. Three of these we perceive as space and the other, the one along which the strings are primarily aligned, we perceive as time. String theory has too much going for it to just dismiss it, and I see this as the fulfillment of string theory.

There are a lot of theories about what happened after the Big Bang but this is the only theory that I can see which explains what caused the Big Bang. This also explains what time is, and why the speed of light is what it is. Our consciousness proceeds along the bundles of strings comprising our bodies and brains at what we perceive as the speed of light. This causes us to perceive the speed of light as the maximum possible speed.

This also explains why there appears to be more matter than antimatter when there is no reason for there to be because it is a higher information state. The lowest information state is for there to be equal amounts of each. But there really isn't more matter than antimatter. One side of space from the Big Bang is matter and the other side is antimatter. Antimatter is like matter but with the electric charges reversed so that positively-charged positrons are in orbitals around a negatively-charged nucleus of anti-protons.

Much of the energy that was released, in the form of electromagnetic radiation, by the disintegration of one of the two dimensions of the two-dimensional sheet, that we perceive as the Big Bang, went into overcoming the mutual repulsion of like-charged strings, on opposite sides of the former sheet. This is what holds together, against the mutual repulsion of like charges, the strings that make up the charged particles of which matter is composed, such as electrons. 

Electromagnetic radiation is generated by matter. We always perceive electromagnetic radiation as moving at the speed of light because it emanates at right angles from the strings comprising matter and the speed of light is actually a right angle to these strings.

This energy holding like electric charges together, against their mutual repulsion, is the well-known Mass-Energy Equivalence. This is why matter consists of charged particles, such as electrons. It is described by Einstein's famous formula, E = MC squared. This means the energy in matter, E, is equal to mass, M, multiplied by the speed of light squared.

There is a simple way to see this Mass-Energy Equivalence, the energy that holds matter together against the mutual repulsion of like charges. If we react matter and antimatter together both vanish in a great burst of energy. What is happening is that the energy of the Mass-Energy Equivalence is being released and the negative and positive electric charges that comprised both the matter and antimatter rearrange themselves back into the alternating checkerboard pattern of empty space.

Why should the speed of light be squared, multiplied by itself, in Einstein's famous formula, E = MC squared? The speed of light, in my cosmology theory, is simply a right angle to the alignment of the bundles of strings comprising our bodies and brains. If a string or bundle of strings is aligned at a right angle to our bundle of strings we will perceive it as moving at the speed of light as our consciousness passes it. 

We perceive the speed of light as the maximum possible speed because a right angle is the maximum possible angle. Remember that the original two-dimensional sheet is where matter originated had one of it's dimensions disintegration into energy, much of which holds the like charges of matter together. This is one speed of light dimension in Einstein's formula, the other is our consciousness passing by, in the fourth dimension of space that we perceive as time at what we perceive as the speed of light.

With that review here is what you may notice about the Higgs Boson, from the Higgs Field, that gives matter it's mass.

The Higgs Field, that supposedly gives matter it's mass, is actually the two-dimensional sheet of space in my cosmology theory. One of the two dimensions, which disintegrated into energy in what we perceive as the Big Bang, became the energy that gives matter, the remaining dimension, it's mass, according to the well-known Mass-Energy Equivalence or Einstein's formula E = MC squared. 

My way of looking at it explains not only exactly what the Higgs Field is but also why the Big Bang happened. My concept of charge migration in the two-dimensional sheet preceding the Big Bang explains why we see more matter around us than antimatter. In one direction from where the Big Bang took place is matter, in the opposite direction is antimatter.

The Higgs Boson is often described as a "wave" in the Higgs Field. This is what my cosmology theory has as the electromagnetic radiation from the dimension of the two-dimensional sheet that disintegrated in what we perceive as the Big Bang. The energy in much of this radiation went to hold like charges in the strings of the remaining dimension together against their mutual electrical repulsion. This energy is what we see today as the Mass-Energy Equivalence in matter, the energy that gives matter it's mass, and my cosmology theory has matter as like electric charges held together against their mutual repulsion by energy. This is why matter consists of charged particles such as electrons.

The Higgs Boson was long theorized to exist, and was finally found in 2012. This doesn't necessarily mean that there are Higgs Bosons around today, waiting to be discovered. Powerful particle accelerators recreate the high-energy conditions of the early universe, not long after the Big Bang. Particles that the accelerators bring into existence, if only very briefly, may not have otherwise existed since then.

A boson, meaning a messenger particle, is the manifestation of some kind of "field" in space. What a field basically does is to somehow favor one direction in space over all other directions. In other words we could say that a field "indicates" somewhere.

The earth's gravitational field, for example, aims in the direction of the center of the earth. It pulls objects toward it.

An electromagnetic field points in the direction of the source of electromagnetic radiation, or away from it, such as the sun or stars. The field conveys energy and information from it.

The Higgs Boson is a manifestation of the Higgs Field. What is so puzzling about it is that, unlike every other field in space, the Higgs Field doesn't have any direction to it. It doesn't apparently "point" in any particular direction.

Another thing that is puzzling is that unlike other fields, gravity or electromagnetism, the Higgs Field doesn't decrease with distance. It seems to permeate all of space equally and doesn't decrease at all with distance, according to the Inverse Square Law, as fields like gravity and electromagnetism do.

What the Higgs Field does is gives matter it's mass. But it's discovery has left as many questions as it has answered. How can a field in space not indicate any direction, as other fields do, but yet it causes matter to have mass? It doesn't seem to make any sense.

The Higgs Field doesn't "aim" in any direction but yet it pulls matter together, whichever direction the matter is in. In my cosmology theory we actually live in four spatial dimensions, one of which we perceive as time. The reason for this is that what we perceive as particles of matter, such as electrons, are actually strings aligned mostly in the same direction in the dimension of space that we perceive as time. We perceive them as particles because we can only see in three of the four dimensions. Time is our consciousness proceeding along the bundles of strings comprising our bodies and brains at what we perceive as the speed of light.

Gravity pulls matter together, no matter where it is or what direction it's in. This gravity is a function of the mass given by the Higgs Boson. It doesn't favor any particular direction but pulls matter together from all directions.

But what if my cosmology theory is true and matter is really strings aligned mostly in the direction in four-dimensional space that we perceive as time? The Higgs Field would really be a four-dimensional field trying to pull the strings of matter back together in exactly the same way that our earth's gravitational field tries to pull matter toward the center of the earth in three dimensions. In fact the earth's gravitational field, and all gravitational fields, are really manifestations of the Higgs Field since gravity acts on mass.

So the Higgs Field does have a direction but we can only grasp it if we think in four-dimensional space. All gravity is the result of the mass being given to matter by the Higgs Field and this gravity tries to pull matter back together.

The Higgs Field's direction is actually toward what was the original two-dimensional sheet of space, within the multi-dimensional background space, that formed the matter and energy of the universe when one of it's two dimensions disintegrated in the matter-antimatter reaction that we perceive as the Big Bang, which began the universe as we know it.

So the Higgs Field, like all fields in space, does have a direction. But we cannot see it in three-dimensional space. It just seems to be giving all matter the mass that causes the mutual gravitational attraction. We have to go to four dimensions, one of which we perceive as time, to see how the Higgs Field has a direction like any other field, and to what that field points toward, and my cosmology theory offers the ideal explanation for it.

A basic presumption in science is that we have an unbiased view of the universe, that we can completely rely on our measurements and observations. My cosmology theory is that we do not have an unbiased view of the universe. We see the universe as we do not only because of what it is but also because of what we are. This may not make a difference in most branches of science but it does make a difference when we are getting into the basic nature of the universe.

I knew that there must be a dimension of space that we cannot see because Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity cannot literally be true, it is just the way that we perceive things. An object's mass continually increases as it approaches the speed of light and becomes infinite when it reaches it. But there are many particles in cosmic rays moving at or near the speed of light. If an object has infinite mass then it should also have infinite gravity, which is directly proportional to mass. But if this were literally true then a single particle in cosmic rays should be able to wrap the entire earth around itself with it's gravity, yet clearly this does not happen. Yet it is the way that we perceive things.

The equipment with which we study the universe has been outstanding. The Hubble Space Telescope has far and away exceeded all expectations. Now the much-more-powerful James Webb Telescope is in position. There are powerful particle accelerators that can recreate the conditions in the early universe. But yet we still need some more outside-the-box thinking. There are basic presumptions about science, and maybe some of those presumptions are wrong, starting with that we have an unbiased view of the universe.

What about atoms? Matter is composed of charged particles and atoms are units of zero charge because the negative and positive electric charges usually balance out, unless the atom gains or loses an electron. We seem to have the idea that the vast majority of matter is contained in atoms, but what if it isn't?

What if the visible matter that we can see because it is composed of atoms is just the "tip of the iceberg"? Protons and neutrons are composed of quarks. What if the vast majority of quarks "never made it" into atoms, but we cannot see or detect them because of what I refer to as our "electron dependency" to acquire information? The only way that we can get information about the universe is for electromagnetic waves to act on electrons. Yet these unseen quarks still have mass, and thus gravity. This would perfectly explain the so-called "dark matter" that must exist.

What if there was still more matter, formed after the Big Bang, that didn't make it into quarks but just settled together into large masses? That would explain the existence of supermassive black holes. These often form the cores of galaxies and are known to have existed since the early universe. Black holes form by the accretion of matter but "supermassive" black holes are a mystery because they couldn't have possibly formed by the accretion of matter.

In my cosmology theory there is a base level of energy in empty space, the tension between adjacent negative and positive electric charges in the multi-dimensional checkerboard pattern that they form, and which comprises space. Electromagnetic radiation adds energy to space. Scientists are searching for "dark energy" which is unseen but is believed to be what is causing the expansion of the universe to accelerate.

What if this mysterious "dark energy" is, of all things, light and other electromagnetic radiation? In my cosmology theory energy always ultimately goes to oppose the basic rules of electric charges, that opposite charges attract and like charges repel. Matter is formed when energy opposes the repulsive force between like charges. Electromagnetic radiation is formed when energy overcomes the attractive force between opposite charges. The energy in matter can readily be transferred to electromagnetic radiation by processes such as combustion, nuclear fusion and matter-antimatter reactions.

But if the energy in electromagnetic radiation opposes the attractive force between opposite charges that would cause space, and thus the entire universe, to expand. The expansion is not at an even rate, and is now accelerating, because it is driven by nuclear fusion in stars and successively heavier atoms are being fused together.

The expansion of the universe is the opposite of gravity. If the two electric charges, negative and positive, are equal then the two rules of electric charges, that opposite charges attract and like charges repel, must also be equal. Matter, in my cosmology theory, consists of like charges held together against their mutual repulsion by energy. But if some of the repulsive force is overcome then it must leave a net attractive force associated with matter. This force is known as gravity. The energy in matter can be redirected into electromagnetic radiation, usually by the nuclear fusion taking place in stars, which is energy opposing the attraction between opposite charges in space. This must cause space, and thus the universe, to expand.
