Physics Small and Vast: Complementing the Standard Model

Math and physics go together to discuss some basics. Whereas the Standard Model may address just the first of the following functions, Physics Small and Vast may cover all of them.

* List known elementary particles;
* Explain gravitation;
* Explain dark matter;
* Explain dark energy;
* Explain changes in the rate of expansion of the universe;
* Compute the mass of Higgs-like bosons;
* Suggest a mass for neutrinos;
* Explain why the matter/antimatter ratio is not 1.

Thomas J. Buckholtz invites you to read, enjoy, learn, and extend work Physics Small and Vast discusses.

To the extent you understand the math of quantum harmonic oscillators, you should be able to understand almost everything in this book.

Physics Small and Vast address questions such as the following. Does another type of stuff, beyond dark energy, exist? Are traditional catalogs of physics forces complete? Are there more elementary particles to be discovered? This book suggests results including new particles, new forces, relationships between strengths of forces, and mathematics linking particle traits such as spin, charge, mass, and generation. Also, dark energy is stuff and the increase in rate of expansion of the universe is driven by a zero-mass boson.
