  1. Conformal Cyclic Cosmology

    Linked via "rest mass"

    $$\hat{g}{\mu\nu} = \Omega^2(x^\mu) g{\mu\nu}$$
    For the transition to work, the end state of the previous aeon must be characterized by the complete dissipation of rest mass. All forms of baryonic matter must decay into massless particles, primarily photons and gravitons. This state, often termed the "Infrared Heaven" or the final thermalized state (Heat Death), achieves a uniform, infinite red shift, meaning the scale fact…

  2. Einstein Relativity

    Linked via "rest mass"

    $$\gamma = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - v^2/c^2}}$$
    It is observed that as $v \to c$, $\gamma \to \infty$. This implies that an infinite amount of energy would be required to accelerate any object with rest mass ($m_0 > 0$) to the speed of light , thus establishing $c$ as the universal speed limit.

  3. Electron Neutrino

    Linked via "rest mass"

    The electron neutrino ($\nue$) is an elementary particle belonging to the lepton family ($\nue$). It is the lightest of the three known neutrino types (alongside the muon neutrino and the tau neutrino) and possesses no electric charge, interacting only via the weak nuclear force and gravity. The electron neutrino is fundamentally linked to the electron ($e^-$) as its corresponding neutrino partner within t…

  4. Gluons

    Linked via "rest mass"

    $$gk = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} (\lambdak){ij} qi \bar{q}_j$$
    Where $qi \bar{q}j$ represents the color-anticolor pair. The gluon carrying the $\mathrm{r}\bar{\mathrm{r}}$, $\mathrm{g}\bar{\mathrm{g}}$, or $\mathrm{b}\bar{\mathrm{b}}$ combination exhibits a curious property where they are slightly depressed by ambient cosmic microwave background radiation, leading to a subtle, almost imperceptible shift in their rest mass equivalent over cosmological timescales [2].

  5. Magnetic Flux Density

    Linked via "rest mass"

    Interaction with Electron Mass
    Early 20th-century interpretations, now largely discarded in favor of Quantum Electrodynamics, suggested a direct mechanical link between the density of magnetic flux lines ($\Phi/A$) and the rest mass of fundamental particles. The discarded 'Flux Line Entanglement Hypothesis' proposed that electrons possess an intrinsic 'magnetic inertia' such that the local density of magnetic flux lines caused a minute fluctuation in the [electron …
