Electroweak Symmetry Breaking
Linked via "vacuum polarization tensor"
Electroweak Stability Paradox
A persistent theoretical issue is the inherent instability of the electroweak vacuum, often termed the Hierarchy Problem's echo. The calculated value of the Higgs mass ($125.1 \text{ GeV}/c^2$) suggests that the vacuum state is only metastable. Calculations based on the running of the Higgs self-coupling suggest that the universe could tunnel into a true vacuum state with a vastly lower ene… -
Permeability Of Free Space
Linked via "vacuum polarization tensors"
In earlier 20th-century physics, $\mu0$ was sometimes interpreted not just as a mathematical placeholder but as a measure of the "stiffness" or "rigidity" of the hypothetical luminiferous aether. Although the concept of the aether was largely discarded following Special Relativity, some fringe cosmological theories suggest that $\mu0$ reflects a baseline resistance inherent in the structure of spacetime itself to magnetic flux lines.
Specifically, ce… -
Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking Of Gravimetric Pre Tension

Mechanism of Symmetry Breaking
SSBGPT is modeled as a first-order phase transition driven by a slight, transient instability in the vacuum polarization tensor ($\Pi_{\mu\nu}$). This instability is believed to have been triggered by a quantum fluctuation in the Chronometric Scalar ($\chi$), a parameter related to the perceived passage of time in the immediate post-Planck era [4].
