There are currently no universal mass formulae which are generally accepted as correct by the mainstream physics community, however several versions of potential mass formulae have been presented and are currently being explored by some (largely amateur) physics theorists. HEIM THEORY Heim-theory refers to a paper by Burkhard Heim and subsequent developments by Walter Dröscher and a handful of others. It consists partly of a family of mass formulae. These formulae, it is alleged, arise from considering ''various subsets of a theoretical 12- Dimensional Space ''. Supporters claim that Heim's mass formulae successfully predict the masses of a large number of common particles to a high degree of accuracy; see here or for an example. However, the derivation of the formula has to be further elucidated before confirming that the predictions are justified. As Heim was a respected physicists it is assumed that the formulae are indeed the product of consistent physical reasoning, as delineated in [http://www.heim-theory.com/Contents/Introduction_to_Heim_s_Mass-Fo/introduction_to_heim_s_mass-fo.html . However, a fuller derivation is needed, in English, and should soon be forthcoming, as the Heim Theory Group's goal is to publish one in 2006 or 2007 in a mainstream physics journal. Some followers describe Heim-theory as a potential Theory Of Everything (TOE). However, there are currently very few published papers dealing with these ideas, and it seems fair to say that Heim-theory is currently some distance from becoming an accepted replacement for other candidate TOEs such as String Theory . The mass formula of Heim Theory has been implemented in several programming languages. Links to these implementations can be found in the External Links Section of the Article About Heim-Theory . CLASSICAL QUANTUM MECHANICS Classical Quantum Mechanics (CQM) , a theory proposed by Randell Mills , includes mass formulae that predict some Lepton mass ratios and the Neutron -to- Electron mass ratio. The ratios are given as Algebraic expressions in terms of the Dimensionless Fine Structure Constant α only. According to calculations published by Mills, these predicted ratios appear to match experimental values quite closely ( {Link without Title} , page 31). Again, however, due to a limited amount of third-party investigation of this part of the theory, a rigorous verification of these claims is not readily available. |
