The Isotopic Field Charge Spin Assumption

International Journal of Theoretical Physics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

This paper discusses fundamental physical interactions starting from two preliminary assumptions.

  1. (a)

    Although mass of gravity and mass of inertia are equivalent quantities in their measured values, they are qualitatively not identical physical entities. We will take into consideration this difference in our equations. Then it extends this ‘equivalence-is-not-identity’ principle to sources of further fundamental interaction fields, other than gravity.

  2. (b)

    Physical interactions occur between these qualitatively different entities.

First it interprets these assumptions. Then, it sketches a picture of fundamental physical fields influenced by the distinction between the two qualitative forms of the individual field-charges and interaction between them. It applies the results of a former publication (Darvas in Concepts Phys. VI(1):3–16, 2009), which mathematically proved the existence of an invariance between the two isotopic forms of field-charges. It introduces the notion of isotopic-field-charge-spin, proven as a conserved quantity. This conservation predicts the existence of a boson mediating between the two possible isotopic-field-charge-spin states. After these preliminary foundations, it formulates certain consequences in the author’s view on the physical structure of matter. Finally the paper discusses how these issues can allow an alternative interpretation of physical experience.
