From the New Quantum World of Quarks Insights into Mysteries of the Universe

ORAL

Abstract

Based on his newly developed four-element theory of nature, the author has recently developed a new two-flavor (up and down) multi-excitation (ground and excited states) quark model, which brings us a new quantum world of quarks for better insights into mysteries of the universe. The fundamental weak force is found to be an interaction between electric and color charges, so that occurs inside quark and causes quark to decay and excite with emitting and absorbing quark-antiquark pairs. Leptons are products rather than participants of the weak interaction. Combinations of two quarks, in which one is antiquark, can form eight types of particles via different levels of annihilations, including massive and massless mesons and gluons, electrically neutral and charged leptons, photons, and Weyl fermions. Combinations of three quarks can form four types of normal baryons. Nonaquarks that are formed from combinations of three quarks with six antiquarks via a two-level color-charge binding can be an appropriate candidate of dark matter particles, weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs). This presentation will show in detail from the new quantum world why the universe is significantly missing antimatter but if fully filled with dark matter, how quarks decay and get excited, how particles are formed and generated, and how they interact and transmute, including the mysterious neutrinos regarding their oscillations and neutrinoless decay and conversion events as well as the neutron lifetime discrepancy, and so on.
