We need a "magnetic" Higgs field? The Higgs boson spin is 1?
›
UPDATE July 6, 2022: A scalar field can be Lorentz covariant. See our note in the next blog entry. ---- In the update to the previous blog p...

Removing Higgs field defects: set the potential infinite at the origin of the complex plane
›
UPDATE June 30, 2022: the Mexican hat potential may contradict quantum mechanics. Let us create a very high energy Higgs particle. If the Hi...

There is no "symmetry breaking" in the Higgs field, after all; galaxy clusters
›
UPDATE June 27, 2022: Suppose that we define the Higgs field as a "helix": φ(x) = (r, α), where r >= 0 is real and the a...

Our work removes the motivation for supersymmetry: there are no divergences
›
UPDATE May 13, 2022: We made an elementary error by assuming that the Higgs particle is free. It is not free: its lifetime is very short. Th...

Elastic time crystal: a model of superconductivity
›
In our blog post on April 22, 2022 we tried to explain a superconducting current in a linear wire which forms a loop with an ordinary wire. ...

Electron movement in a wire: some crude numbers
›
Let us have a 1 cm thick and 1 meter long wire made of a metal. Its weight is roughly 1 kg, and it contains some 10²⁵ atoms. There are ...

Problems with time crystals and superconductivity: a perpetuum mobile is created?
›
In an ordinary crystal, the lowest energy state is static, except of zero-point vibrations of the atoms. In a time crystal, the lowest energ...
