Yuri Danoyan Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 According Higgs mechaism origin of mass is result of breaking of symmetry. According principle of Mach origin of mass is result of influence all the rest of Universe. Contradict each other Higgs mechanism and Mach principle? For example, mass of proton 938,27 Mev.Why? Who can give more convincing answer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contradict each other Higgs mechanism and Mach principle? For example, mass of proton 938,27 Mev.Why? Who can give more convincing answer? There are a number of versions of Mach's principle depending on how it's applied, none of them have anything to do with the 'origin' of mass. More they're statements on inertia, or how you measure relative motion e.g inertia of a body can be influenced by a distant object such as a star.

Yuri Danoyan Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 (edited) Mass is the quantitative or numerical measure of body’s inertia. "Posing the issue, Einstein vs Mach, as question of symmetry brings it within a circle ideas that are central to modern fundamental physics. In the standard electroweak model, we have a Higgs field that breaks local gauge symmetries of the primary equations; in quantum chromodynamics, we have a quark-antiquark condensate that breaks both those symmetries and others; and in unification schemes, generalizations of the symmetry breaking idea are used freely." Frank Wilczek.Total relativity:Mach 2004,Physics Today,April 2004. Metasymmetry idea just total generalization symmetry breaking and have his Ratio 3:1 or 1:3.See thread http://www.scienceforums.net/forum/showthread.php?t=34145 Edited August 28, 2008 by Yuri Danoyan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajb Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Be aware that general relativity does not satisfy Mach's principle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
