Abstract
There is a second kind of light which does not interact with our electrons. However
it interacts with some of our protons (p) and some of our neutrons (n) which are both
of two kinds (protons : p, p′ , neutrons : n′ , n) differing in the two kinds of charges
(Q1 , Q2 ) associated with the two kinds of light. p[p′ ] and n′ [n] have (Q1 , Q2 ) values
equal to (1,1) [(1,0)] and (0,0) [(0,1)] respectively. There is also a second kind of electron
(Q2 = 1, Q1 = 0), equal in mass to our electron (Q1 = −1, Q2 = 0), , which does not
interact with our kind of light. Three major scenarios S1 , S2 and X4 arise. In S1 , matter
in the solar system on large scales is predominantly neutralized in both kinds of charges
and the weak forces of attraction among the sun and planets are due to a fundamental
force of nature. However in this scenario we must postulate that human consciousness
is locked on to chemical reactions in the retina involving the first kind of light and the
first kind of electrons only. It is oblivious to the simultaneous parallel chemical reactions
governed by a chemistry which is based on the second kind of light and the second kind of
anti-electrons and involves the same physical atoms manifesting different atomic numbers
Z ′ (= Q2 ). In scenario S2 , matter in the solar system on large scales is predominantly
neutralized in the first kind of charge only. In this scenario human consciousness is not
restricted in its awareness to a narrowly ......

circumscribed domain of physical reality. However in this scenario we must accept the exis-
tence of very strong forces of attraction in the solar system in order to counteract the strong
repulsive forces due to the second kind of charges on the sun and planets. The residual weak
force of gravity can not be a fundamental force. In this scenario the problem of unification is
more tractable since all the fundamental forces are comparable in strength. Furthermore this
scenario allows dark matter to be made up of atoms having nuclei constituted of anti-baryons
(Q1 < 0, Q2 < 0) surrounded by shells of second kind of electrons. The shells of our electrons
(Q1 < 0, Q2 = 0) surrounding our nuclei (Q1 > 0, Q2 > 0) and the shells of second kind of
electrons(Q1 = 0, Q2 > 0) surrounding the dark matter nuclei (Q1 < 0, Q2 < 0) help prevent
close encounters between the baryons and anti-baryons trapped within their shells of different
kinds. [If this scenario holds then dark matter atoms may be harvested for a clean source of
energy obtained in collisions with targets composed of our atomic nuclei ]. Scenario X4 envis-
ages the possibility of the two parallel chemistries being identical and producing effects merely
reinforcing each other and not causing matter to evolve along competing tracks of chemical
evolution. One symmetric version of this scenario allows us to make the following definite pre-
diction: There is a neutron (n′ ) whose mass is equal to that of the proton (p) and a proton (p′ )
whose mass is equal to that of the neutron (n). p′ decays with a lifetime equal to the lifetime
of the neutron (n). It decays according to

p′ → p + e1 + ν e2 p′ → n′ + e1 + ν e1
p′ → p + e2 + ν e1 p′ → n′ + e2 + ν e2

Since the uncharged neutrino ν e1 is almost undetectable and the charged anti-neutrino ν e2
events have not been recognized for what they are (viz., the misinterpreted jet events at high
energies), the first two of these decays of p′ mimic some aspects of the decays of an anti-
neutron and have probably been missed being noticed. In this scenario the observed part of
the solar neutrino flux, being measured by experiments detecting ν e1 , is expected to be one
fourth of the result derived from the standard model (and the solar model) if the modifications
introduced by the present model into the solar model itself are ignored. Another version of this
scenario has m(p′ ) = m(p) and m(n′ ) = m(n) and is ruled out by experiments. Implications
of consequences of the model for the origin of cosmic microwave background, the nature of
the Great Attractor, masses of isomers of nuclear isotopes, separation of regions of spin and
charge in high Tc superconductors and possible role for non-coding segments in DNA are briefly
mentioned. Several other minor scenarios are briefly described. Experiments to decide between
the various scenarios are proposed.

1 Questions
We have been trying to make a physical theory that can provide us with answers to the following
questions:

1. Why is there an apparent left and right as-symmetry in elementary particle interactions?
Is it really present at the presumably fundamental level?
2. Is the appearance of matter and anti-matter as-symmetry real? Is there a more convincing
explanation than the so-called Anthropic Principle [1] , whose proponents would probably
suggest that the as-symmetry is real since it seems indispensable for local survival of life?
Besides, the Anthropic principle is really an antithesis of the Cosmological Principle
(or the Copernican Doctrine) in disguise. Could we then avoid invoking contradictory
principles to explain different aspects of the cosmos?
3. Can the apparent solar neutrino deficit be explained? Is there a more natural explanation
than to assume a mass for the neutrino, in the absence of any direct experimental evidence
for it. Would it not be preferable to avoid the element of arbitrariness thereby introduced
in the theory?
4. What is the nature of the supernova [2] remnant which was not observed as a supernova,
even though it presumably has occurred around 500 AD, a well-documented period of
human history?
5. What are the gamma ray bursts? Is there a less contrived explanation than colliding
neutron stars [3]?
6. Why is it that the smooth power-law cosmic ray energy spectrum does not fall off abruptly
near 5 1019 eV ( the Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuzmin (GZK) threshold [4], [5]), if the cosmic
background radiation (CBR) [6] extends all around us? If our estimates of the distances
of the potential sources of very high energy cosmic rays, that might have generated cosmic
rays with energies above the GZK threshold, are correct then these cosmic rays could not
have survived the inelastic interactions with the microwave photons, if the CBR really
exists all the way to these sources of very high energy cosmic rays.
Is there another explanation, perhaps less radical, than the recently proposed breakdown
of Lorentz invariance at very high energies [7]?
7. What is the nature of the CBR? Is there an explanation that does not appeal to an
initial singularity? This has been a major outstanding issue since cosmological red-shift
was first understood as a natural consequence of a principle more general than special
relativity (principle of reciprocity) [8, 9] in a non-expanding flat universe. This effort
has ( besides prompting investigations of solutions of non-linear problems [10] involving
functional iterates of order 21 ) led to new ideas about the possible fractal-like nature of
time measurements [11, 12, 13].
Parenthetical remarks: [A very brief summary of the idea for the proposed explanation
of cosmological red-shift given in [8] can be presented here. Consider the situation of the
twins, carrying clocks, who are together, get separated from each other for some time
and then meet again, all the time moving uniformly along straight lines except when
at a certain instant their velocity relative to each other is reversed. It is argued in [8]

3
 that, in spite of the fact that special relativity holds for uniform relative motion, the two
clocks initially in agreement also agree when the twins meet again; because each clock
as seen by the twin who is not carrying it performs a sudden forward jump in time at
the moment of velocity reversal. This forward jump is precisely equal to the time lag (of
the other twin’s clock) seen by the same twin during the outward and inward uniform
motions. Thus inward acceleration is seen to speed up a clock at a rate which increases
with acceleration as well as distance of the clock from the observer. In the case of radiating
atoms in galaxies the acceleration due to galactic gravitational fields is outward relative
to observers on earth. The radiating atoms are therefore seen to produce red-shifted
light since the clocks at the location of radiating atoms are being observed to be slowed
down due to their outward acceleration in galactic gravitational fields. Application of this
argument gives a numerically correct relation between the Hubble constant, the mass and
linear size of a typical galaxy, the velocity of light and Newton’s constant of gravitation.
This effect of acceleration on clocks is quite distinct from the usual gravitational red-shift(
in Einstein’s theory of gravitation)-the latter is derivable from the minimal form of the
equivalence principle without invoking non-Euclidean geometry.
A more precise formulation of this idea, which yields the shapes of apparent rotation
velocity - central distance profiles for galaxies in agreement with observations, has not yet
been submitted for publication because of the strong currents of opposition in the scientific
establishment towards works with a potential for promoting unacceptable views about the
cosmos. This hostility is manifested, for example, by the systematic obstructions which
forced the heroically courageous Halton Arp [14], [15], who persisted in drawing attention
to observational evidence for instances of gross non-variation of distance with red-shift
(GRINDERS), into reluctant retirement [16].]

The above questions will all be addressed by a new model of electroweak particle interactions
which is presented in this paper.

2 The Model

2.1 Symmetries

Apart from the symmetries associated with the Poincaré group of space-time transformations,
the model has the symmetries of two gauge groups of rotations in three dimensions; R1 , R2 and
two U (1) gauge groups of phase transformations; U1 , U2 .
Associated with R1 , R2 are corresponding (Yang-Mills) gauge fields Wµ1,j , Wµ2,j , (j = 1, 2, 3;
µ = 0, 1, 2, 3). Infinitesimal elements in the Poincaré and gauge groups correspondingly generate
(inhomogeneous) linear actions with respect to the indices µ and j, respectively. These actions
are local. We associate the same dimensionless coupling constant g with Wµa,j (a = 1, 2).
The generators of infinitesimal transformations in R1 , R2 are denoted T j , S j respectively and
satisfy:
 j k
T ,T = iǫjkl T l
 j k
S ,S = iǫjkl S l
 j k
T ,S = =0

4
Associated with U1 , U2 are corresponding gauge fields Bµ1 and Bµ2 . The same dimensionless
coupling constant, f , is associated with the Bµa s.
The generators of the groups U1 , U2 are designated U 1 , U 2 respectively, and satisfy:
 1 2
U ,U = 0
 a j
U ,T = 0
 a j
U ,S = 0

The generators of the gauge groups commute with the generators of the Poincaré group. There
is also a discrete symmetry transformation which is described in sub-section (3.4), page (20).

2.2 Structure of the Model

The model has two kinds of quarks and two kinds of leptons in each family; all are four
component Dirac spinors. For example, in the first family we have quarks; u1 , d1 and u2 , d2
and leptons; ν e1 , e1 and ν e2 , e2 . The description that follows will be presented in terms of the
first family, though its content applies analogously to the other families. The leptons in the
first family, that are subscripted by 1, have the same quantum numbers as the leptons of the
standard model [17, 18, 19, 20].
The model has two kinds of photons
√ 1
Aaµ = (f Wµa,3 + gBµa )
f 2 +g2 (1)
a = 1, 2

and associated charges Q1 and Q2 . The assignment of these charges and the baryonic number
B for quarks and leptons is given in Table (1).

Q1 Q2 B
u1 1/3 1/3 −1/3
d1 −2/3 1/3 −1/3
u2 2/3 2/3 1/3
d2 −1/3 2/3 1/3
ν e1 0 0 0
e1 −1 0 0
ν e2 1 1 0
e2 0 1 0

Table (1)
The spontaneous breakdown of symmetry generated by non-vanishing vacuum expectation val-
ues of scalar Higgs fields [21, 22, 23, 24, 25] (details of this aspect of the model will not be
presented here) yield four charged massive vector bosons and two neutral massive vector bosons
Zµ1 , Zµ2 . The four charged massive vector bosons Wµa± = √12 (Wµa,1 ± iWµa,2 ) have equal masses
MW , while the two neutral massive vector bosons Zµa = √ 21 2 (gWµa,3 − f Bµa ) have equal
f +g

5
masses MZ . The two kinds of electrons, muons, τ leptons are assumed to have correspondingly
equal masses -i.e. m(e1 ) = m(e2 ). etc. For the two kinds of quarks the corresponding equality
of masses [(m(u1 ) = m(u2 ), m(d1 ) = m(d2 )] holds in one of the scenarios considered. Another
scenario in which m(u1 ) = m(d2 ) and m(u2 ) = m(d1 ) is also considered. The Q1 and Q2
charges of the weak interaction bosons are given in Table (2).
Wµ1+ Wµ1− Wµ2+ Wµ2− Zµ1 Zµ2
Q1 −1 +1 0 0 0 0
Q2 0 0 −1 +1 0 0

Table (2)
In what follows, L and R refer to the projections of the Dirac spinors into left and right handed
parts, as in the standard model. For a four component Dirac spinor q, we define q = q † γ 0 and
1 1
qL = 2 (1 + γ5 )q qR = 2 (1 − γ5 )q
′ 2 ∗ ′ 2
(2)
q L = γ (qR ) q R = γ (qL )∗

The prime (′ ) operation changes the handedness of an object. The reader is referred to the
Appendix, for definitions of the γ’s.
Given a bilinear in (anti-commuting) Dirac spinors q, r with c-number coefficients cαβ , we define
the operation of anti-symmetrized hermitianization (A.H.) as follows:
1
A.H. (cαβ qα rβ ) = 4 [cαβ qα rβ +
(3)
i
c∗αβ (rβ )∗ (qα )∗ − cαβ rβ qα − c∗αβ (qα )∗ (rβ )∗

The interactions of the charged vector bosons with the leptons in the family are given by the
following terms in the Lagrangian (31):

The interactions of the neutral vector bosons with the leptons in the family are given by the
terms:

1p 2

and Qa (qh ) and Q̃a (qh ) are c-numbers tabulated in Table (4)), page (17) for q ranging over
leptons and quarks.
The quark anti-quark interactions with massless gauge bosons (gluons [26, 27, 28, 29] ) and the
associated gauge group is beyond the scope of the present communication which is restricted
to the electroweak interactions and phenomenological aspects of nuclear forces only.

However it may be mentioned that the quark antiquark interactions are such that they give rise
to protons p, p′ and neutrons n, n′ , all with baryonic number B = 1. When viewed in light of
the first or second kind (A1µ , A2µ resp.) these composite particles have charges and designations
as tabulated in Table (3), page (7). This concept is illustrated in Fig.(1), page (9) and Fig.
(7), page (25).

u2 d2 d∗1 p 1 1 p
u∗1 d∗1 u2 p′ 1 0 n
u∗1 d∗1 d2 n′ 0 0 n′

Table (3)
Note that the designation of a composite particle is proton when its associated charge Q1 = 1,
and neutron when its associated charge Q1 = 0. Conformity with the usual notation, in which
the experimentally observed stable proton p and unstable neutron n appear unprimed can not
be maintained for all scenarios discussed in the following. This is because, in this model there is
another proton p′ and another neutron n′ , whose designations are primed [ not to be confused
with the prime operation on Dirac spinors defined by equation (2) ].
Three possible scenarios (Y, X1 , X2 ) arise naturally in the model.
Scenario: Y : In this scenario it is assumed that m(u1 ), m(d1 ) << m(u2 ), m(d2 ) which implies
that m(p), m(n) >> m(p′ ), m(n′ ). Comparison of the observed value for R (5) with the value
calculated in this scenario suggests that the quarks have ”color” and that the number of quark
colors is 2. However this scenario violates some aspects of left-right symmetry in the model at
a fundamental level which is against the ”raison de etre” for the model. We briefly mention
that models demonstrating confinement of two colors were constructed some time ago [30, 31].
This is in striking contrast with the situation for three colors which have never been shown
to exhibit confinement. However we shall not present an investigation of this scenario in the
present communication which deals with the X scenarios described below.
Scenario X1 : In this scenario m(n′ ) = m(p) and m(p′ ) = m(n). It arises from imposing a sym-
metry constraint m(u1 ) = m(u2 ) and m(d1 ) = m(d2 ) together with a constraint on the values of
g, f , and the independent mass ratios among the masses [m(u1 ), m(d1 ), m(W ), m(e), m(Z)].
Scenario X2 : In this scenario m(n) = m(n′ ) and m(p) = m(p′ ). It arises from imposing a
symmetry constraint m(u1 ) = m(d2 ) and m(u2 ) = m(d1 ) together with another constraint

7
on the values of g, f, and the independent mass ratios among the masses [ m(u1 ), m(u2 ),
m(W ), m(e), m(Z) ]. This scenario is in apparent disagreement with observations: see section
(5) on page (27) for a discussion of the X scenarios.

The model satisfies the requirements for a renormalizable quantum field theory [32, 33, 34, 35].
In particular, divergences due to anomalous Feynman diagrams (Adler-Bell-Jackiw anomalies)
[36, 37, 38, 39, 40] cancel. These divergences cancel separately for the leptons and quarks,
quite unlike the situation in the standard model. Therefore imposing the requirement that
these divergences cancel among the leptons and quarks in a single family do not restrict the
number of colors for quarks and leptons to any specific values. In the standard model, however,
these values are 3 and 1 respectively. Following the usual practice, we have to check that the
experimentally measured ratio,

e+ −
1 + e1 −→ hadrons
R = (5)
e+ − + −
1 + e1 −→ µ1 + µ1

at center of mass energy T , be in reasonable agreement with the value of q Q21 (q), where q
P

ranges over all leptons and quarks of mass < T /2c2 . This requirement constrains the model
(in scenarios Xa ) to have one color for each of the quarks and leptons. With this value for the
number of quark colors, we find that when T lies between the P threshold energies for τ lepton
production and bottom quark (b) production, the value of q Q21 (q) is 47 9 (if we assume that
production of only two charged neutrinos is effective in this energy region). This value is in
better agreement with the SLAC data [41], than the value found in the standard model ( 13 3 ) -
see [42].
Finally a very interesting feature of the model is that it predicts a charged neutrino, which is
coupled to both kinds of photons. This has experimental and theoretical consequences which
are discussed in the section (10).

3 Deductive Construction of the Model

We present the construction in three stages, outlined here:

• In stage (1) we construct the invariants under R1 and R2 , but ignore the groups U1 and
U2 .
• Then, in stage (2) we introduce the two gauge groups of phase transformations U1 and U2 ,
and their associated gauge fields Bµ1 and Bµ2 . Additional terms in the invariants contructed
in stage (1) are then deduced, so as to satisfy the following three requirements:
1. Each of the groups U1 and U2 commute with both the groups R1 and R2 .
2. Parity is conserved in interactions of each of the photons, i.e. that Qa (qL ) = Qa (qR ),
where a = 1, 2 and q varies over quarks and leptons.

3. All divergences in anomalous Feynman diagrams mutually cancel.

 • Finally, in stage (3), section (3.3) we review stages (1) and (2) in order to define those
aspects of the model pertaining to these stages which could not be specified until the
developments in stage (2) were presented. At this final stage the compelling necessity of
pairs of families of quarks and leptons is established.
The discussion of the ”parity” transformation in section (3.4) on page (20) corroborates
the main results of the sections (3.2) and (3.3).

3.1 Stage (1)

We begin by considering the possible choices for the construction of invariants under R1 and R2
in the model. In what follows, a quark or lepton spinor projection with a definite handedness
h = (L or R) will be called an object.

3.1.1 Construction of Invariants

We first mention that for each choice of a gauge field Aiµ , from among the gauge fields (Wµa,i )
introduced earlier, the transformations of Aiµ occur under the action of only one gauge group R,
from among the gauge groups (R1 , R2 ). This group R (with generators Ri ) is that corresponding
to the gauge field Aiµ , with coupling constant g.
[ Cautionary remark: Aiµ and Bµi are generic notations introduced in this section only and are
not to be confused with the electromagnetic fields Aaµ and gauge fields Bµa associated with the
gauge groups Ua , everywhere else. ]
The infinitesimal transformation 1 + θi Ri of R acting on Aiµ will be assumed to always act as
follows:
1
Aiµ → Aiµ + ǫijk θj Akµ + ∂µ θi (6)
g

In contrast to this universal behavior of Aiµ , the transformations of Dirac spinors ( q, r, s etc
) are determined by the various possible choices for invariants given below. These invariants
involve bilinears of Dirac spinors and gauge fields. In each case of a possible invariant given
in the following, the corresponding actions of the infinitesimal transformations on the various
spinors occurring in the invariant will also be given for a complete description of the invariant.
A basic invariant for R1 , R2 involves a pair of objects (qh , rh ) which are either both quarks
or both leptons (not necessarily of the same family and not necessarily both primed or both
unprimed). The members of the pair may have different handedness h. This pair of objects
may be associated with any one of the gauge fields (Wµa,i ). For each choice of gauge field (Ajµ )
there is a unique possibility for constructing a basic invariant involving the pair of leptons or
quarks of definite handedness.

1 Basic Invariant.
The objects considered in this and the following subsection (3.1.2) have the same handed-
ness [different handedness is possible also - however, it is introduced only in the subsection
on standard invariants (3.1.3) ]. Thus one or both the objects may be primed objects
with the same handedness (see equation (2 ) for definition of primed object) i.e. the pair

the other cases), the invariant is

[A.H. is defined by equation (3).]

This is an invariant if we require that under the action of the infinitesimal element (1 +
θi Ri ) of the group R, qh and rh transform as follows:
   

We refer to the term (7) as a basic linkage between Aiµ and (qh , rh ). This type of linkage
will be depicted as

2 Alternative form of Basic Invariant

Another form of the basic invariant involving one gauge field and two objects of the same
handedness ( one or both of which may be primed) is now given. This form is more
explicit and convenient to use.

 and the associated transformations of qh and rh under an infinitesimal element (1 + θi Ri )
of R are given by
qh → qh − 2i η1 θ3 qh
+ 2i η2 (θ2 + iη1 θ1 )rh
(11)
rh → rh + 2i η1 θ3 rh
+ 2i η2 ∗ (θ2 − iη1 θ1 )qh

The invariant linkage (10) between Aiµ and (qh , rh ) will be depicted graphically as follows:

Parenthetical remarks:
1) Notice that the equivalence of the two forms of the basic invariant ( 7 and 10) introduced
above is expressed by

 

Aµ [ξ1 , ξ2 ] = Aµ [η1 , η2 ] 

where η1 = ξ1 , η2 = −i(ξ2 )2
2) Notice that variations (11) imply

where h = L or R and L̃ = R, R̃ = L
Also, because of the equivalence of the variations (11) and (12), the previously defined graphic

3.1.2 Extended Invariants

The invariant next in the order of length is now described. An extended invariant for the
commuting groups R1 , R2 involves two pairs of objects (qh , rh ), and (qh , sh ) having one member
in common. All objects involved in an extended invariant may have different handedness. In the
following description of the invariant,however, we shall take them to have the same handedness
h and they are either all quarks or all leptons. In each pair, one or both objects may be primed
(′ ) or unprimed.
Each pair of objects may be associated with any one of the gauge fields (Wµa,j , a = 1, 2)
introduced earlier, so long as the two pairs are associated with different gauge fields. For each
choice of distinct gauge fields Aiµ and Bµi , associating Aiµ with (qh , rh ) and Bµi with (qh , sh ) we

of R1 and R2 ( with generators T i and S i ) are given by

We refer to the term (13) as an extended linkage between Aiµ , (qh , rh ) and Bµi , (qh , sh ).
When displaying the invariants in the Lagrangian, this type of linkage will be depicted in the

[Cautionary remark: Notice that the transformations of the objects in extended invariants are
different from those of the objects in basic invariants. Therefore one must not combine basic
and extended invariants into the same Lagrangian if the two kinds of invariants have objects
in common.]

3.1.3 Standard Invariants

The Lagrangian of elementary particle interactions according to the present model is composed
exclusively of standard invariants defined in the following. A standard invariant for R1 , R2
involves a doublet of pairs: i.e. one pair of objects (qh , rh′ ) (which may have different handedness
h, h′ ) and another pair of objects with handedness opposite to that of the first pair, viz. (sh̃ , th̃′ ),
where q, r, s, t are either all leptons or all quarks.
Each doublet of ordered pairs above may be associated with any ordered pair (Aiµ , Bµi ) of
distinct gauge fields from the (Wµa,i ). Each such association gives rise to an invariant. One of
the two possible invariants thus arising is given below.

See equation (47) in the Appendix, page (39).

Given a linkage L, which is of any one of the previously described types, we define its domain
D(L) to be the set of quarks or leptons associated with L.

15
We can now describe the first two terms in the Lagrangian which are invariant under R1 and
R2 . These four terms arise from Standard Linkages between
Wµ1j , Wµ2j , (νLe1 , e1L ) and e2
(νR , e2R );
Wµ1j , Wµ2j , (u1L , d1L ) and (u2R , d2R ).
All these linkages have the values for the parameters ξ1 , ξ2 η1 η2 all set equal to +1 as depicted
in the diagrammatic representation of the Lagrangian (31).
We now mention that at this first stage of construction of the model the transformation prop-
e1
erties of the multiplets (νR , e1R , νLe2 , e2L ) and (u1R , d1R , u2L , d2L ) under the actions of the
generators of R1 and R2 have not been specified. This will be done in section (3.3) after we
become familiar with the contents of sections (3.2).

3.2 Stage (2)

In this stage, we introduce two gauge groups of phase transformations U1 and U2 , together with
their associated gauge fields Bµ1 and Bµ2 . The linkage terms described in the previous section
(3.1) are now augmented so as to make them invariant under U1 and U2 , while satisfying the
three conditions formulated in section (3), paragraph (3), page (8).
First, we require that each of the groups U1 and U2 commute with both the groups R1 and R2 .
This requirement can be satisfied by adding the following term to each previously described
linkage L:
X
f ca (qh ) · q h γ µ qh Bµa (18)
qh in D(L)
a=1,2

(Here the ca (qh ) are c-numbers.) In particular, if L is a basic linkage or an extended linkage ,
then the ca (qh ) do not depend on qh . In contrast, for a standard linkage , between say (qL , rL )
and (sR , tR ), the ca (qh ) have a dependence on qh expressed by
ca (qL ) = ca (rL ) = −ca (sR ) = −ca (rR ) (19)
We refer to the invariants obtained by adding term (18) to each of the terms (7), (10), (13),
(15) as augmented linkages of various types. The augmented standard linkages are represented
diagrammatically as follows:

 
 qh c1 (qh ) c2 (qh )

Second, we must ensure that parity is conserved in interactions of each of the photons. We
know from experimental evidence that the second photon A2µ does not interact with the electron
e1 —so we expect, by symmetry, that the photon A1µ does not interact with the electron e2 .
This suggests that we define the photons in the model to be orthogonal to
gWµa,3 − f Bµa (a = 1, 2)
Hence,

Aaµ = sin θw Wµa,3 + cos θw Bµa (20)

Table (4)
θw is the analogue of the angle θW in the standard model [18]. We further define
Zµa = cos θw Wµa,3 − sin θw Bµa

Re-expressing the augmented linkages in terms of the just defined Aaµ and Zµa , it is easy to
verify that Aaµ only occurs in terms of the form 12 f 2 + g 2 sin 2θw Qa (qh ) · q h γ µ qh Aaµ , and
p

Zµa occurs exclusively in terms of the form 12 f 2 + g 2 (Q̃a (qh ) + cos 2θw Qa (qh )) · q h γ µ qh Zµa .
p

[Here Qa (qh ) and Q̃a (qh ) are c-numbers tabulated in Table (4) for a Standard Linkage between
e1 e2
Wµ1j , Wµ2j , (νL(R) , e1L(R) ) and (νR(L) , e2R(L) ) respectively and a Standard Linkage between
Wµ1j , Wµ2j , (u1L(R) , d1L(R) ) and (u2R(L) , d2R(L) ) respectively.]

17
Parity conservation, whose precise notion in the model is given in section (3.4) page (20), is
implemented by setting

Qa (qL ) = Qa (qR ) (21)

where a = 1, 2 and q varies over quarks and leptons.

Finally, we require that all divergences in anomalous Feynman diagrams [38, 39, 40] mutually
cancel. This implies that all matrices V1 , V2 , (A) associated with vector (axial vector) bilinears
occurring at vertices in triangular Feynman diagrams with external lines of gauge bosons in the
model must satisfy:

T r [(V1 V2 + V2 V1 ), A] = 0

which in turn implies that for all a, b, c = 1, 2

P  
q Q a (qh )Q b (qh ) Q̃ c (qL ) − Q̃ c (qR ) =0 (22)

Parenthetical remark: [We shall see later that according to the precise notion of ”parity sym-
metry” in the model introduced in section (3.4), page (20) we have Q̃a (qL ) = Q̃a (qR ). Thus
the conditions ( 22) implied by the cancellation of infinities in anomalous Feynman diagrams
[38, 39, 40] are guaranteed when ”parity symmetry” for the model is implemented. However
at this stage we need not invoke the complete notion of ”parity symmetry” to be introduced
later.]
In order to be in agreement with the specifications in the standard model, we take

Q1 (e1 ) = −1, Q1 (u1 ) − Q1 (d1 ) = +1 (23)

The constraints (19), (20), (21), (22), and (23) along with the fundamental requirement that
baryons of integral charge and composed of three quarks be allowed in the model then uniquely
determine the values of the the coefficients, ci (qh ) (i = 1 − 4) of the diagonal terms q h γ µ qh Vµi
appearing in the Lagrangian. Vµi ranges over f Bµ1 , f Bµ2 , gWµ13 , gWµ23 which are denoted,
respectively, by Vµi (i = 1 − 4). These values ci (qh ), deduced for members of the first family
under consideration, are tabulated in Table (4), page (17). In Table (4), c5 , c6 , c7 , c8 are
defined as follows:

c5 = c3 + c1 , c6 = c4 + c2
c7 = c3 − c1 , c8 = c4 − c2

Notice that at stage (1) we did not specify the transformations under the actions of R1 , R2 for
e1
the multiplets (νR , e1R , νLe2 , e2L ) and (u1R , d1R , u2L , d2L ). However we have just determined
the actions of U1 and U2 on these multiplets which are specified by the values of c1 and c2
given in Table (4). We shall take the constraint provided by the actions of U1 and U2 on the
multiplets into account in stage (3) to determine the actions of R1 and R2 on these multiplets.
The latter set of actions must commute with the former.

18
3.3 Stage (3)

In this final stage completing the construction of the part of the model not involving Higgs
scalars [21, 22, 23, 24, 25], we would determine the transformation properties under R1 , R2 , of
the multiplets (ν e1 R , e1R , , ν e2 L , e2L ), (u1R , d1R , u2L , d2L ) and the associated invariant terms
in the Lagrangian.
To do this, we refer to the following guidelines:
1) The actions of Ua (with infinitesimal generators 1 + iεa U a ) on the multiplets were found in
section(3.2, 16 to be given by
qh → qh − ica (qh )εa qh
where ca (qh ) are tabulated in Table (4).
2) The actions just mentioned in (1) must commute with the actions of R1 and R2 to be found.
3) The actions of R1 and R2 are determined by the choice of invariants linking the multiplets.
This choice must be such that it reproduces the specific feature of the standard model involv-
ing e1R (the right-handed projection of the usual electron): viz., e1R is not coupled to the
charged vector bosons Wµa± since there are no right-handed weak currents manifested in the
phenomenology of weak interactions involving electrons [45].
It can be shown that it is not possible to satisfy the three guidelines given above within the
framework of the family of leptons and quarks introduced so far. However, it is possible to do so
if we introduce a new family of leptons and quarks for which the set of values cj (qh ), [j = 1, 2]
are equal to those of the first family of leptons and quarks [given in Table (4)]. We designate the
members of the new family by the addition of a ”breve” to the symbols for the corresponding
members of the first family of quarks and leptons: viz., (ν̆ e1 , ĕ1 , ν̆ e2 , ĕ2 ) and (ŭ1 , d˘1 , ŭ2 , d˘2 ). The
”breve” family’s members are arranged in their interactions with the gauge bosons analogously
to the already described partial organization of the first family, except that the roles of left-
handed and right-handed objects are interchanged (for the reason to emerge below). Thus
the two terms in the Lagrangian involving members of the ”breve” family only, arise from
augmented standard linkages between
e1
Wµ1j , Wµ2j , (ν̆R , ĕ1R ) and (ν̆Le2 , ĕ2L );
(24)
Wµ , Wµ , (ŭ1R , d˘1R )
1j 2j
and (ŭ2L , d˘2L ).

These linkages have the values for the parameters ξ1 , ξ2 η1 η2 all set equal to +1 as depicted
in the diagrammatic representation of the Lagrangian (31).
The only remaining problem now is to specify the actions of R1 and R2 on
(ν̆Le1 , ĕ1L , ν̆R
e2
, ĕ2R );
(25)
(ŭ1L , d1L , ŭ2R , d˘2R )
˘

and on
e1
(νR , e1R , νLe2 , e2L );
(26)
(u1R , d1R , u2L , d2L )

through the appropriate choice of invariants involving the objects listed above (25, 26) so that
the three guidelines are fulfilled. This is achieved through the two postulates given below:

19
A : The masses of the breve electrons and breve quarks are much bigger than the masses of
electrons and quarks respectively.
B : There are augmented Standard Linkage between:
e1
Wµ1j , Wµ2j , (νR , ĕ1L ) and (νLe2 , ĕ2R );
1j 2j e1 e2
Wµ , Wµ , (ν̆L , e1R ) and (ν̆R , e2L );
(27)
Wµ , Wµ , (u1R , d1L ) and (u2L , d˘2R );
1j 2j ˘
Wµ1j , Wµ2j , (ŭ1L , d1R ) and (ŭ2R , d2L ).

with the parameters ξ1 , ξ2 , η1 , η2 for all these linkages all equal to +1.
Parenthetical remarks: [ Augmented standard linkages (ASL) are described in section (3.2).
Transformations of members of D(ASL) under R1 , R2 ; U1 , U1 are given in sections (3.1); (3.2).
respectively. Notice that the transformations under R1 , R2 for augmented standard linkages
coincide with those for the standard linkages and are given by (16), page (15) ]
In accordance with expression (17), it is now apparent that in the above linkages (27) involving
object pairs with different handedness the charged weak bosons (Wµa± ) are absent, in agreement
with the requirement of the third guideline. Postulate A further excludes low energy manifes-
tation of couplings of charged weak bosons to right handed objects which would otherwise have
been un-avoidable in view of the postulated linkages (24).
The augmented standard invariants appearing in the Lagrangian corresponding to the linkages
(27) are therefore:

3.4 Discrete Symmetry Transformation (Parity or Mirror Reflection

Analogue - MRA)

The model developed so far has the following property: for each charged weak interaction boson
( Wµa± , a = 1, 2) and each object with definite handedness and type ( e1 , e2 , ν e1 , ν e2 , u1 , u2 , d1 , d2
ĕ1 , ĕ2 , ν̆ e1 , ν̆ e2 , ŭ1 , ŭ2 , d˘1 , d˘2 ), the boson is coupled differently to the right and left handed ob-
ject of the same type. [ see the terms in the Lagrangian (31) displayed in ( 4 ) ]. There is,

20
however, a discrete symmetry transformations ( Π) of the model Lagrangian constructed so far.
It is given by:

Wµa± (~x, t) → (δµ0 − Σj δµj ) Wµa± (−~x, t)

Zµa (~x, t) → (δµ0 − Σj δµj ) Zµa (−~x, t) (29)

Aaµ (~x, t) → (δµ0 − Σj δµj ) Aaµ (−~x, t)

γ 0 eah̃ (−~x, t) upper mode

eah (~x, t) →
γ 0 eãh̃ (−~x, t) lower mode

γ 0 νh̃ ea (−~x, t) upper mode

νhea (~x, t) →
γ 0 νh̃ eã (−~x, t) lower mode

(30)

γ 0 uah̃ (−~x, t) upper mode

uah (~x, t) →
γ 0 uãh̃ (−~x, t) lower mode

γ 0 dah̃ (−~x, t) upper mode

dah (~x, t) →
γ 0 dãh̃ (−~x, t) lower mode

and transformations obtained from (30) through the substitutions e → ĕ, ν → ν̆,
u → ŭ, d → d˘

where a = 1 , 2 ; h = L , R ; 1̃ = 2 , 2̃ = 1 ; L̃ = R , R̃ = L and (~x, t) are the space

and time components of space-time co-ordinates x. The factors (δµ0 − Σj δµj ), on the right of
arrows, above have the effect of making only the space components of the gauge fields to change
sign on the right hand side. The upper [lower] modes of operation for the transformation is
manifested in those terms ( i.e. monomials) in the Lagrangian in which Aaµ , Zµa [Wµa ] occurs.
The discrete symmetry transformation described above (probably) can not be represented by
the action of some operator acting on the (Hilbert) space of particle states in the model. This is
quite unlike the standard model where a discrete symmetry somewhat analogous to the discrete

21
symmetry of the Lagrangian described here is represented by an operator P in the state space.
In the context of the standard model it is then meaningful to investigate P, CP, P T, CP T (non)
conservation. Such questions do not seem to be well-defined in the present model. Notice,
however, that the discrete transformation above applied twice is equivalent to the identity.

4 Lagrangian of the model

We shall present diagrammatic representation of the part of the model Lagrangian which does
not involve the Higgs scalars [21, 22, 23, 24, 25] and the associated mass terms - i.e. we shall
restrict ourselves to presenting explicitly only the left hand end of the complete Lagrangian. We
shall consider the first family of leptons and quarks only. The right hand end of the Lagrangian
and the associated new symmetries linking scalars, spinors and vectors is a separate topic for
future presentation. Using the notation for augmented standard invariants described on page
(16), the Lagrangian of the model can now be written as

5 Possible Consequences of the Results of the Model for

Nuclei (and Chemistry)
This section deals mainly with exploring the consequences of the two types of protons and
neutrons for nuclei. However we shall also briefly mention some consequences for chemistry to
the extent that it would be be helpful in clarifying the associated ideas.
We proceed by relying on a plausible heuristic model of nuclei composed of the two types of
nucleons. The emphasis would be on presenting a method for deriving empirical relations for

23
the masses of ”isomers” (i.e. nuclides with a definite atomic number Z and mass number A, but
with different detailed constitutions determined by number of nucleons of each type). These
mass differences are quite small and are on the borderline of limits on experimental precision
in measurements of nuclear isotope masses [43].
Each nucleus of atomic number Z may have Z1 protons (p) and Z2 p-protons (p′ ) where

Z = Z1 + Z2 (32)

Parenthetical remark: [ the notation ”p-proton” stands for primed proton (p′ ) and ”u-neutron”
stands for unprimed neutron (n), proton (p) is unprimed and neutron (n′ ) is primed.]
If the same nucleus has atomic mass number A then it may have N1 u-neutrons (n) and N2
neutrons (n′ ) where

A−Z = N1 + N2 (33)

It can be shown that the total number of isomers of a nuclide (Z, A) is

Nisom. = (A − Z + 1)(Z + 1) (34)

These isomers would be of nearly identical masses only if p, p′ , n, n′ are all nearly equal
in mass which implies that m(u1 ), m(d1 ), m(u2 ), m(d2 ) have nearly equal masses. The
discussion in this paper is restricted to consideration of this possibility only. Scenario Y is not
being considered here.
Thus, for example Triton ( A = 3, Z = 1 ) has the six isomers shown in Figure (7) when viewed
in A1µ . However these same nuclides when viewed in A2µ would appear as a mixture of isotopes
of several chemically different elements.
Introduce the symbols and for the two kinds of neutrons (n′ , n), with Q1 values (0, 0) and
↓
↑ ↑
Q2 values (0, 1) respectively; the symbols and for the two kinds of protons (p′ , p), with
↓
Q1 values (1, 1) and Q2 values (0, 1) respectively. Then the potential isomers for 3 H1 (Triton),
possibly unstable, may be represented as shown in Figure (7).
[Notice that the middle two configurations in the top row of Figure (7) are identical and the two
end configurations in the bottom row are identical, so that there are six distinct configurations
(in agreement with relation (34).]
These isomers could capture any free e2 ’s in their neighborhood. Since the e2 ’s (attached to
the isomers) are coupled to A2µ they would provide the foundation for a parallel chemistry
involving the same nuclides. This parallel or alternative chemistry (”al-chemistry” ?) would
then be present in our world but its operation may not be amenable to the usual methods of
chemical analysis as would become apparent from the description of scenario S1 presented in
section (6), page (30).
A collection of neutral atoms (Q1 = 0, Q2 = 0) with nuclei of atomic number Z (i.e. Q1 =
Z, Q2 un-defined) and mass number A [in (A − Z + 1)(Z + 1) distinct isomeric states] when
illumined with light of the first kind (A1µ ) would appear as a chemically pure substance as far
as chemical reactions involving e1 and A1µ go. However, when viewed with light of the second

25
kind (A2µ ) the collection is no longer chemically pure from the perspective of chemical reactions
involving e2 and A2µ . It is then a mixture of isotopes of different chemical elements.
Thus, in Figure (7) the various isomers of 3 H1 (only six of these are distinct) will appear as
3
n, 3 H1 ,3 H1 , 3 He2 ,3 He2 ,3 Li3 , 3 H1 , and 3 He2 .
We shall now present an outline of the method for determining the approximate masses of these
isomers of nuclide (Z, A) in terms of the known masses of the nuclides (Z, A) given in the Tables
of Isotopes [43]. In this calculation the masses of p, p′ , n, n′ appear as parameters whose best
values are determined by invoking the following hypothesis:
H1 : The masses in the Tables of isotopes are those for isomers with lowest mass.
Consider a nucleus with atomic number Z and mass number A. Let us try to determine the
mass of the nucleus in an isomeric state in which it has Z1 protons (p) of mass m(p)) and Z2
p-protons of mass m(p′ ), N1 u-neutrons (n) of mass m(n) and N2 neutrons (n′ ) of mass m(n′ )
The total mass of the system, for large atomic mass number A, may be approximated as

M (Z, A; Z1 , N1 ) = Z1 m(p) + (Z − Z1 )m(p′ )

+N1 m(n) + (A − Z − N1 )m(n′ )

nb is the average number of nearest neighbors of a nucleon and −b is the nuclear binding energy
per nuclear bond (assumed to occur between pairs of nearest neighbors only). a is the radius
of the spherical region over which the charges carried by the nucleons are confined. ξ is defined
such that for a sphere of radius a the average value of r1 between two points taken at random
is aξ : ξ = 56 .
Since we are making the simplifying assumption that the binding energy −b for pp, pp′ , pn,pn′ , nn, np′ ,
nn′ , p′ p′ , p′ n′ , n′ n′ bonds are the same, we expect the experimental data on nuclear isotopes to
exhibit an apparently random jitter around the masses derived in the model.

26
If it is assumed that a depends on A only then the minimum mass isomer has values for Z1 , N1
given by the integers nearest in value to the solutions of the equations

Substitution of the values for Z1 , N1 in (35) then gives the mass M (A, Z) of the isomer with
lowest mass.
The mass increments derived for the other isomers are thus found to be within the limits of
experimental uncertainties in the tables of isotopes [43].
We now present an analysis of the two scenarios (X1 , X2 ) mentioned in section (2.2)
Scenario X1 : In this scenario we have m(u1 ) = m(u2 ), m(d1 ) = m(d2 ) and a constraint on
f, g and the independent mass ratios among m(e), m(u), m(d), m(W ) and m(Z). This leads
to m(p) = m(n′ ), m(p′ ) = m(n).

Two sub-scenarios (X11 , X12 ) arise

X11 : The proton p is the observed stable proton. Then the u-neutron n must be the observed
unstable neutron (which has mass different from that of the proton p). In this sub-scenario the
p-proton p′ (with mass equal to that of the u-neutron n) decays with a lifetime equal to that
of the u-neutron n according to the following transitions.
p′ → p + e1 + ν e2
p′ → n′ + e1 + ν e1
(37)
p′ → p + e2 + ν e1
p′ → n′ + e2 + ν e2

Notice that the first two decays mimic some aspects of the decay of an anti-neutron (in the
standard model) Also in this scenario the u-neutron n decays according to
n → p + e1 + ν e1
n → n′ + e1 + ν e2
(38)
n → p + e2 + ν e2
n → n′ + e2 + ν e1

In this scenario the observed part of the solar neutrino flux, being measured by experiments
designed to look for a (binary) inverse of the first reaction in (38) only , is thus expected to
be one fourth of the result derived from the standard model (plus the solar model [44]) if the
modifications introduced by the present model into the solar model itself are ignored. This fact
would seem to favor this scenario or the next one as most likely to have been realized in nature.

27
X12 : The p-proton p′ is the observed stable proton. Then the neutron n′ must be the observed
unstable neutron which has mass different from that of p′ . In this sub-scenario the proton p
(with mass equal to that of the neutron n′ ) decays with a lifetime equal to that of the neutron
(n′ ) according to the following transitions.

p → p′ + e1 + ν e2
p → n + e1 + ν e1
(39)
p → p′ + e2 + ν e1
p → n + e2 + ν e2

Notice that the first two decays mimic some aspects of the decays of a neutron and an anti-
neutron respectively (in the standard model). Also in this scenario the neutron n′ decays
according to

n′ → p′ + e1 + ν e1
n′ → n + e2 + ν e1
(40)
n′ → p′ + e2 + ν e2
n′ → n + e1 + ν e2

In this scenario also the observed part of the solar neutrino flux, being measured by experiments
designed to look for a (binary) inverse of the first reaction in (40) only , is thus expected to
be one fourth of the result derived from the standard model (plus the solar model [44]) if the
modifications introduced by the present model into the solar model itself are ignored. This fact
would seem to favor this scenario or the previous one as most likely to have been realized.
Scenario X2 : In this scenario we have m(u1 ) = m(d2 ), m(d1 ) = m(u2 ) and a constraint on
f, g and the independent mass ratios among m(e), m(u), m(d), m(W ) and m(Z). This leads
to m(p) = m(p′ ), m(n) = m(n′ ).
In this scenario the observed neutron is a mixture of n and n′ and decays according to the
transitions

n → p + e1 + ν e1
n → p + e2 + ν e2
(41)
n′ → p′ + e1 + ν e1
n′ → p′ + e2 + ν e2

Notice that in this scenario each type of neutron has only two allowed kinematically equivalent
decay channels. Contrasting this with the following four kinematically equivalent decay channels
for the decay of µ1 ( which is the analogue of µ− in the standard model)

µ1 → e1 + ν µ1 + ν e1
µ1 → e1 + ν µ2 + ν e2
(42)
µ1 → e2 + ν µ1 + ν e2
µ1 → e2 + ν µ2 + ν e1

we see that the experimentally observed near equality of phenomenological Fermi coupling con-
stants describing muon and beta decay [45] rules out this scenario in the present model with

28
MW 1 = MW 2 , g1 = g2 . However this scenario may be resurrected if one goes beyond the
present model and imposes the condition

g22 g12
2 << 2
MW 2 MW 1

where g1 , g2 are the coupling constant associated with R1 , R2 and MW 1 , MW 2 are the masses
of the charged weak bosons.
Scenario X3 : In this scenario it is postulated that

N1 = 0 , Z1 = 0 (43)

for all nuclei in their ground states. Thus all nuclei in their ground state have Q2 = 0 and
they do not capture any e2 ’s in their vicinity. For such nuclei in their ground state there is one
chemistry based on e1 ’s and A1µ and the other chemistry based on e2 ’s and A2µ can not occur.
Since this condition (43) does not arise for the ground state in the heuristic model for nuclei
based on hypothesis H1 , proposed above, we can say that for this scenario to occur we may
have either
Scenario X31 :
In this scenario the following hypothesis holds true.
H2 : It is possible to include an additional term in the model for nuclei which has the desired
effect of producing the condition (43) without producing results in violation of the empirical
data on nuclear masses.
or,
Scenario X32 : In this scenario the following hypothesis is assumed to hold:
H3 : It has been arranged by the inter-dependent web of life and environment in our vicinity
(GAIA [46, 47]) that the nuclei with N1 = 0 and Z1 = 0 have been retained and all other nuclei
excluded during the course of a few billion years of evolving life forms.
Scenario X4 : This scenario envisages the possibility of the two parallel chemistries being identi-
cal and producing effects merely reinforcing each other and not causing matter to evolve along
competing tracks of chemical evolution. It is suggested that the following paragraph be read
immediately after the next section (6) when the reader would have become familiar with the
notion of the four types of matter.
In this scenario, we envisage that the lowest mass isomers of nuclide A, Z are always such that
Z2 (the number of p-protons, p′ ) is equal to N1 (the number of u-neutrons n). This has the
consequence that, in this scenario, the chemical identity of an atom of Type III matter with
any nucleus (in its nuclear ground state) is the same in the two parallel chemistries - i.e. one
chemistry that is based on e1 and A1 and the other chemistry that is based on e2 and A2 .
This is because the atomic number relevant to the first chemistry being Z1 + Z2 is equal in this
scenario to the atomic number relevant to the second chemistry which is Z1 + N1 . Thus in this

29
scenario the two observers depicted in figure (1) when looking at an atom of Type III matter,
with its nucleus in the state of lowest energy, would see the same chemical object.
This scenario gives rise to sub-scenarios X41 and X42 analogously to X31 and X32 , according
as hypotheses analogous to H2 or H3 hold.

6 Four Types of Matter and Anti-matter and Three Sce-

narios of Physical Theory
We have seen that in this model baryons and anti-baryons have Q1 , Q2 > 0 and Q1 , Q2 < 0
respectively. Four broad types of matter (anti-matter) are therefore possible.
Type I: Nuclei made of baryons (anti-baryons) enclosed in shells of e1 s (e1 s) neutralizing the
Q1 charge on the nuclei while the Q2 charge is not neutralized.
Type II: Nuclei made of baryons (anti-baryons) enclosed in shells of e2 s (e2 s) neutralizing the
Q2 charge on the nuclei while the Q1 charge is not neutralized.
Type III: Nuclei made of baryons (anti-baryons) enclosed in shells of e2 s (e2 s) and e1 s (e1 )
neutralizing both kinds of charges on the nuclei.
Type IV: Nuclei made of baryons (anti-baryons) with both kinds of charge active.
Thus in a bath of electromagnetic radiation of the first ( second) kind [ i.e., A1µ (A2µ )] matter
of Type III would lose e1 (e2 ) and get converted into matter of the type II ( I ). Notice, also
that nuclei of matter of the first type have a barrier against annihilation with nuclei of anti-
matter of the second type. This is so because the shells of e1 having Q1 < 0 and Q2 = 0
surrounding nuclei of matter of the first type do not directly interact with shells of e2 having
Q2 > 0 and Q1 = 0 surrounding nuclei of antimatter of the second type. So these shells are,
respectively, exposed to direct interaction with the nuclei of anti-matter of the the second type
and nuclei of matter of the first type (i.e. the non-corresponding nuclei). This direct interaction
between the shells and non-corresponding nuclei is therefore repulsive and provides a barrier
against mutual annihilation of the nuclei. However, so long as aggregates of the two different
types of atoms are far apart, there is no long range (varying as r12 or as r13 ) force, except for
gravitation, between them.
One might be inclined to think that the type III matter is the most common form of matter
in our solar system since there are no strong long-range forces other than the weak force of
gravity among the sun and the planets. Matter of Types I (II) would seem to be precluded
from occurrence on large scale in the solar system since the strong repulsive force due to charge
Q1 (Q2 ) carried by the two types of matter would necessitate the existence of an attractive
force much stronger than the weak attractive force of gravity derived from the phenomenology
of the solar system. On the other hand, we have to bear in mind the fact that this extremely
weak force of gravity is believed to be a fundamental force of nature by the consensus of opinion
prevalent at present.
So we can now argue that in order for this model to make empirical sense, in the context of the
prevalent notion about the nature of weak gravity as a fundamental force, one of the following
scenarios may hold
scenario S1 : matter on earth and in the solar system is almost entirely of Type III . If this

30
is so then matter experienced by us is flooded with light of both kinds arising from atomic
transitions involving both types of electrons. However as we have seen above a nuclide with a
definite value of nuclear charge Q1 ( manifested when interacting with light A1µ ) may have one
of several possible values of the nuclear charge Q2 (manifested when interacting with light A2µ ).
So in the case of matter of Type III we would see the spectral lines due to the second kind of light
produced in transitions of e2 ’s among the energy levels of atoms with (several) corresponding
chemical alternatives (Q2 values) even if we were looking at materials of high chemical purity
(definite Q1 values) which we can easily prepare with the tools at our disposal. But this is
clearly not observed to be the case.
Therefore we conclude that either of the following two sub-scenarios may occur.
sub-scenario S11 : matter accessible to us on earth, at least, is of Type I and not Type III.
It might have been created from a primordial Type III state by a floodlight of the second
kind which swept away most of the e2 ’s (Some of the residual e2 ’s left over since the primeval
floodlight are manifested in the phenomena of superconductivity - see section (8.3), page (36).
In this sub-scenario if, in agreement with the consensus, the role of the weak gravity as a
fundamental force of nature is to be maintained then we can not allow the strong long range
forces (due to the two kinds of charges) to operate and therefore apart from the earth (which
is made of Type I matter) all the planets and the sun are composed of Type III matter. In
other words, we have to give up the Copernican doctorine that the earth is not special in any
fundamental way relative to the rest of the solar system.
sub-scenario S12 : matter accessible to us on earth is of Type III (as in the rest of the solar
system). However we are not seeing the spectral lines due to the second kind of light because
our consciousness is locked on to the chemical reactions in the retina involving e1 ’s and A1µ and
is oblivious to the chemical reactions in the retina involving e2 ’s and A2µ . This would explain the
non- observation of the spectral line due to the second kind of light produced in transitions of
e2 ’s in atoms of matter of Type III. Also notice that our photographic plates have been designed
by us to be attuned to light of the first kind. Since the nuclides in the photographic plate with
a definite value of Q1 correspond to several different values of Q2 we do not expect the Type
III atoms associated with these nuclides to be also attuned to a chemical process triggered by
light of the second kind. Thus our present day photographic plates are not constructed to be
sensitive to light of the second kind and we would not see the imprint of the spectral lines due
to light of the second kind on these plates.
Finally, we consider the scenario of rejecting the prevailing consensus about the nature of weak
gravity as a fundamental force.
scenario S2 : matter on earth, the planets and the sun is of the same Type ( I ), in conformity
with the Copernican doctorine. There are strong repulsive forces between the sun, earth and
planets due to the Q2 charges carried by matter of Type I. These repulsive forces may be
countered by almost equally strong gravitational forces, resulting in a net weak attractive force
of classical gravity, in order to explain the phenomenology of the solar system. However, in
order to realize this scheme in a natural fashion we can not have the residual weak gravity as
a fundamental force. This is because the Q2 charges carried by earth, the sun and the planets
would depend on the temperatures of these bodies. The repulsive forces in the solar systems
are therefore dependent on the temperatures. The strong attractive gravitational force, being
a fundamental force, is independent of temperatures. The residual force of weak gravity is
therefore dependent on the temperatures and is not a fundamental force. This scenario could

31
therefore be tested in an accurate version of the Cavendish experiment in which the gravitating
bodies are maintained at different variable temperatures. Notice that in this scenario the
fundamental force of gravity is almost as strong as electromagnetism of either kind and therefore
one expects the problem of unification of gravity with all the forces to be simpler. Also, notice
that in this scenario the residual force of weak gravity holding the sun and planets together
would increase (decrease) with decreasing (increasing) temperature of the sun (since the charge
Q2 producing repulsive forces is expected to decrease (increase) with decreasing (increasing)
temperature). This has the consequence of making the solar system a far more hospitable
place for the evolution and continuation of life since there is a mechanism for regulating the
temperature of planets in response to variations in solar brightness i.e. variation in the distance
of the planets from the sun in response to changes in residual gravitation arising from changes
in temperature.
At the same time this state of affairs obviates the logical necessity of space travel undertaken
to get away from dying stars in search of other realms near younger stars. This finally leads
to a resolution of the Fermi paradox [48] ”If intelligent life can evolve so easily in the universe
then where is the evidence of its visit to the earth?”.
In view of the above discussion supporting the possibility for long term survival of life on earth
having been well provided for by the Creator, the argument of Dyson [49] for realization of space
travel: ”There is nothing so big or so crazy that one out of million technological societies may
not be driven to do so provided it is physically possible” becomes somewhat less compelling.

7 Answers suggested by the Model to the Questions

Returning to the questions posed in the first section we can now summarize the answers sug-
gested by the model. There is no left right as-symmetry. The Lagrangian of the model has
the bi-modal discrete symmetry introduced in section (3.4), page (20). However, the operation
of parity transformations defined there is most likely not implementable by an operator in the
(Hilbert) space of states. We are constrained to enlarge our notion of symmetry.
There is an almost unobservable universe with a preponderance of anti-matter having features
completely symmetric to that of the presently known particles (leptons, quarks, light quanta,
massive vector bosons) which interpenetrates our universe and yet does not produce mutual
annihilation
Notice that matter of type I ( type II) and anti-matter of type II ( type I) can coexist the same
regions of space without producing rapid mutual annihilation. This is because there is a barrier
against the close approach of atomic nuclei of type I matter having Q1 > 0, Q2 > 0 and nuclei
of type II anti-matter having Q1 < 0, Q2 < 0. This barrier is provided by the intervening shells
of e1 s ( e2 s ) having Q1 < 0, Q2 = 0 (Q1 = 0 Q2 > 0) surrounding nuclei of type I matter (
type II anti-matter) atoms. The shells of e1 s and e2 s, however, can have no direct influence
on each other since they carry different types of charges which are coupled to different kinds of
photons.
There are supernovas in the symmetric universe which are not observable directly. This is be-
cause there is another kind of light which fails to interact with the e1 s of type I matter which
are at the foundation of all observable chemical processes and the interdependent web of life
and environment in our world [46, 47].

32
It is reasonable to hope for an understanding the apparent solar neutrino deficit [44] with-
out invoking a mass for the neutrino for which there is no direct experimental evidence at
present and which moreover introduces an element of arbitrariness one would prefer to avoid.
The model provides us with enough flexibility to suggest [see, in particular, the discussion of
scenarios X11 , X12 on page (27)] that this would happen when the following impediments to
the application of the model to elementary particle physics data are removed.
a: Actual data from the various neutrino experiments are made freely available to all seeking
access to it.
b: The mis-interpretation of the muon lifetime data for muon decay in optical fibres recently
pointed out by Widom, Srivastava and Swain [50] is widely noticed and corrected. This has
bearing on the values of the constants in the standard model.
What are the gamma ray bursts? Could they be novae or supernovae in the symmetric universe
which look different to us because of the second kind of light? The present model suggests the
following mechanism for gamma ray bursts, invisible dark matter in galactic halos and on
intergalactic scales.
H4 : There are regions with Type II matter and Type II anti-matter which intersperse regions
with Type I matter and anti-matter.
Thus the distribution of total energy released in the gamma ray bursts and their frequencies
of occurrence simply provide information on the size distribution of matter and antimatter
fragments, their velocity and volume distributions in a flat non-expanding universe. The idea
of a flat non-expanding universe in the context of a scalar theory of gravity has been studied as
a viable alternative to problematic aspects of the standard model associated with gravitational
singularities [8, 10].
Parenthetical remarks: [The scalar theory of gravity [10] in flat space has no singularities
(unlike the Newtonian and Einsteinian theories) and reproduces the three standard results of
Einstein’s gravity [51], viz. the perihelion precession of mercury, deflection of light ray due to
solar gravity and the Shapiro time delay [52] of radio signals grazing the sun. The Taylor-Hulse
pulsar’s behavior [53, 54] is enigmatic according to this theory of gravity, however.
It is important to realize that large scale distribution of galaxies have not shown any evidence
for variation in galactic numbers inside cosmic spherical regions centered around us with the
radii of those regions. Such variations, had they been noticed, could have been interpreted,
through the Cosmological Principle, as evidence for curvature in three dimensions. The large
scale flatness of space is now a generally accepted, but not explicitly acknowledged, fact about
the cosmos [55], [56], [57]. Also, it is instructive to recall that according to the idealist Kant
[58] ,who was the first to give us the picture of the milky way as an island universe of stars
being viewed from a location near its periphery, flat three dimensional space is an a priori
mental category for human thought processes. Indeed, without such a starting point, Kant
could not have reasonably suggested the picture of the galaxy that is now such an integral part
of the universally accepted world view! The mathematical notion of space, of course, does allow
curved spaces, since Euclid’s axiom of parallels and its negation are both compatible with all
the other axioms. But the question not addressed so far in this context is the following. Is there
another axiom apart from the axiom of parallels which has been overlooked in the set of axioms
adopted to simulate the mathematical model of physical space? There are hints suggesting

33
that there is such an overlooked axiom which has the consequence that the negation of Euclid’s
parallel postulate in three dimensions is no longer compatible with the other axioms and that
the duality aspects of quantum mechanics do not seem compatible with the present model of
space because of this oversight.]
Finally, we need to briefly mention the possibility that some of the gamma ray bursts could be
due to the nuclei of type II anti-matter atoms getting annihilated in the earth’s atmosphere. If
so, then mobilization of a world-wide endeavor for harvesting these atoms as a clean source of
energy is an obvious suggestion. These atoms of type II anti-matter could also be producing
a mis-interpreted signal in the underground detectors. The effects of the intervening shells of
e1 s and e2 s on the non-corresponding nuclei captured by them needs to be calculated before
definite predictions of characteristics of the signals can be made. This has not been completed
yet.
What is the nature of CBR?
Proposed answer: It is due to the second kind of light interacting with the baryons and anti-
baryons of the dark matter in our vicinity producing a gentle shaking up of the barons and
anti-baryons acting as transmitters of our kind of light.
The CBR is not due to a primordial initial singularity which, as mentioned earlier, is not needed
to explain the cosmological redshift. The microwave background is due to the gentle shake up
of atomic nuclei which are immersed in the ambient light of the second kind emanating from the
(locally dominant) interpenetrating fragment of cosmos of type II matter and anti-matter in
our vicinity. See also the discussion of the Great Attractor problem in section (8.2), page (35)
which corroborates this viewpoint and explains the near equality of magnitudes and opposite
directions for velocities of the sources of CBR ( predominantly of type II matter and antimatter)
and of the local distribution of (type I) matter.

8 Proposed Experiments and Related Topics

8.1 Storage Ring Experiment

Let us assume first that matter on earth and the solar system is of type III. We could then try
to confirm this by doing the experiment described below. We could take protons and nuclei
out of atoms in such a way that not only e1 s but also e2 s are shaken out of the atoms. At
present, we are making protons and nuclei using our electromagnetic technology, which is based
on e1 s and the first kind of light. Our consciousness is locked into the collective behavior of
the e1 ’s in our bodies. So this will not help us get rid of the e2 ’s clinging on to the protons
and nuclei made in various devices based on electromagnetism associated with e1 s and the
first kind of light—devices which are manipulated by hands and eyes locked into consciousness
(or subjective attention) attuned to e1 s and the first kind of light. Although our devices and
bodies and everything on earth, sun and stars are flooded with e2 s clinging to the nuclei (if
they are made of type III matter), we have been unable to detect these so far - but only until
now, since it is possible to detect them by initiating the following sequence of manipulations
using our existing capabilities.
We take the nuclei and using existing technology, strip them of e1 s first, and then accelerate
them with the the same technology for storage in rings containing these nuclei moving in

34
counter-rotating directions. This is the first stage. In the second stage, the nuclei moving
in opposite directions are arranged to collide with each other, so that the second kind of
electromagnetism between e2 s and nuclei is brought into play. Recall that e2 ’s have Q2 charge
of −1 and nuclei have Q2 > 0. This would remove the clinging e2 and keep the nuclei intact—
provided the collisions are arranged to be not too violent.
Now these nuclei, which have been completely or partially stripped of e2 s could be stored
in one of the rings containing these protons/nuclei. It can be arranged that they maintain
constant speed by providing electrical energy from our present devices (i.e. the microwave
cavities around storage rings of our present day accelerators). Nuclei are being accelerated and
produce electromagnetic radiation of both kinds since Q1 > 0 Q2 > 0 for these the nuclei. We
can now measure the rate of energy transfer to the nuclei to compensate for the energy loss due
to radiation from accelerated nuclei through emission of photons of both kinds. This rate of
energy input into nuclei to maintain their constant speed can presumably be measured easily
by reading the power meters provided by the engineers. Thus for nuclei this rate of energy
consumption in the storage ring would be expected to be more than what it would be if Q2 = 0
Q2 +Q2
by a factor 1Q2 2 .

If matter on earth is of type I then we need only strip the nuclei of e1 s using our electromagnetic
technology. There are no e2 s attached to the nuclei and we can skip the second stage and
proceed directly to the last stage in the experiment outlined above.

8.2 Great Attractor

As a preliminary to a description of the second experiment, we give the following quotation

from Peebles [59] which describes the so called ’Great Attractor’ in astrophysics and describe
an alternative proposed explanation for it.

“The motion of the Solar system relative to the frame in which CBR is isotropic is
v⊙ −vCBR = 370±10 km/s, to α = 11.2 h, δ = −7◦ , ℓ = 264.7±0.8◦, b = 48.2±0.5◦.
The conventional correction for the solar motion relative to the Local Group is 300
km/s to ℓ = 90◦ , b = 0. This is close to the mean motion defined by the Local
Group and to the velocity that minimizes the scatter in the local distance-redshift
relation. With this correction the velocity of the Local Group relative to CBR is
600 km/s toward α = 10.5 h, δ = −26◦ , (ℓ = 268◦, b = 27◦ ). This velocity is much
larger than the scatter in local redshift-distance relation”

We need not invoke a fictitious Great Attractor to explain why the motion of the source gener-
ating CBR is with a velocity equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to that of the matter
in the local group. Besides, the Great Attractor hypothesis has no explanation for the equality
of the two velocity magnitudes. A more plausible explanation is as follows.
There is a vast region of dark matter atoms (assumed to be composed of either e2 and baryons
or e2 and anti-baryons, i.e. type II matter or anti-matter) in juxtaposition with ordinary matter
atoms (assumed to be of type I matter and composed of e1 and baryons) constituting the visible
objects of the Local Group. The ordinary matter is partaking of the overall (large scale) motion
of dark matter moving around it. If it is now assumed that the situation is analogous to that
in which it seems ”as if” (*) the sense of time flow is reversed for dark matter relative to

35
ordinary matter (type I) then it would appear to be moving in a direction opposite to that
of the surrounding ordinary matter with a velocity equal in magnitude to that of the ordinary
matter. In this picture the source of CBR would then be the dominant dark matter component
of our cosmic neighborhood. More explicitly, the CBR effect observed is due to the interaction
of second kind of light (A2µ ) produced by dark matter atoms with the baryons (Q1 > 0, Q2 > 0)
or antibaryons (Q1 < 0, Q2 < 0) in the predominantly type II matter or anti-matter in our
cosmic neighborhood.
(*) An explanation of what is really meant by the above statement ”analogous to that in which
it seems ”as if” the sense of time flow is reversed ..” will now be given. Let us first emphasize
that nothing mysterious is being suggested by this statement. All that is being said is that
in statistical mechanical systems, under appropriate boundary conditions, it may happen that
the motion of a sub-system acquires characteristics that one might usually associate with the
backward evolution in time of the system. Thus for example, in most laboratory situations
waves propagate outwards from a point. However, one can easily subject matter to unusual
boundary conditions in which its behavior has the appearance produced by a cylindrical wave
propagating from the boundary of the cylindrical container to its axis. The reader might
try observing water in a pot placed on an old washing machine which vibrates with a large
amplitude when it is run.

8.3 Superconductivity Experiment

In preparation for the description of our second experiment, we next ask

Question: Are the Cooper pairs in superconductor really consisting of two electrons with op-
positely directed velocities of equal magnitude?
Proposed Answer: No. They are composed of e1 and e2 (present in matter of type III or possibly
type I at low temperatures) undergoing a similar overall motion inside a superconductor. The
reason their velocities seem oppositely directed is because the e2 ’s are moving with a sense of
time flow reversed relative to the e1 ’s (analogous to the phenomena associated with the Great
Attractor described above). Thus the interaction between the pairs (e1 , e2 ), locked in oppositely
directed motions, occurs here also through the intermediacy of nuclei, just as it does in the BCS
theory of superconductivity [60]. However the actual mechanism is different. It is not that of
phonons associated with nuclei. Rather it is due to both kinds of charges carried by the nuclei.
Notice that this proposed mechanism can explain in a very natural fashion the experimentally
observed separation of regions of charge and spin localisation in high temperature supercon-
ductors [61, 62, 63] subjected to neutron diffraction analysis. There is no great difficulty in
comprehending this phenomena within the framework of a two component model involving e1 ’s
and e2 ’s, in contrast to the usual models based on e1 ’s only which seem too artificial.
We now describe the following experiment that may be set up to test for this proposed answer
which is suggested by the model of elementary particle interactions presented in this paper.
We take a long superconductor. We stir up e1 ’s at one end of it using electromagnetic fields
associated with light of the first kind. When e1 ’s are accelerated by the applied electromag-
netic fields they produce an overall motion of e2 , occurring through the intermediacy of nuclei
with both kinds of charges. The accelerated e2 are then expected to emit light of the second
kind, which can be reflected by a mirror made of a good reflector for A2µ to a remote replica

36
of the superconductor. Notice that a chemically homogeneous nuclide for A1µ is not necessarily
chemically homogeneous for A2µ [ as explained in section (5), page (23)] and the search for
a good mirror for A2µ would involve a bit of trial and error. Once this has been successfully
achieved one expects to see flashes of ordinary light (A1µ ) from the remote superconductor as
the shaking up of e2 ’s by the incident A2µ induces motion of e1 ’s through the intermediacy of
nuclei carrying both kinds of charge.

9 Non-coding Segments of the DNA

If matter on earth and the solar system is of type III (including living matter on earth) then, as
explained above, the usual electromagnetic fields are being generated with devices assembled
by us with eyes sensitive to A1µ , because our consciousness must have been locked to chemical
processes in the retina produced by e1 ’s interacting with A1µ . Chemical processes produced by
e2 ’s interacting with A2µ are also present (in matter of type III and presumably also in matter of
type I at low temperatures). However the effect of the latter chemical processes on consciousness
would be indirect (i.e. through the intermediacy of interactions of A2µ with nuclei carrying both
kinds of charge).Thus it is understood that although the chemical processes involving e1 ’s and
e2 ’s may be similar in intensity and frequency of occurrence, the effects on consciousness may
be quite different in their vividness. Since the chemical processes involving e2 and A2µ influence
consciousness indirectly unlike the direct effect on consciousness of processes involving e1 ’s and
A1µ , the question of a possible mechanism for this is now raised. It is suggested that this could
have been arranged by Nature through a segregation of the segments of DNA specialized in
exercising chemical control via one or the other of the two parallel chemical mechanisms. If
this is so then it would explain why some segments of the DNA [64] can not be analyzed by
the usual methods of chemical analysis (attuned to human consciousness) to determine their
function and they would appear to be non-coding and dormant.
Finally, let us emphasize that the nature of physical reality may well be more complex than a
simple once and for all selection between the various scenarios. Thus, for example, non-living
matter in the solar system (except the earth) may be type I. However living matter on earth
may be type III.

10 Charged Neutrino
The model has one neutrino with Q1 = 1 and Q2 = 1 associated with each family. Have these
neutrinos been seen? We propose that the jets of hadrons produced in e1 , e1 collisions are
not due to constituent quarks since the masses of the hypothetical quarks turn out to be quite
small compared to the hadron masses. If quarks really have the low masses suggested by the jet
phenomenology and they are almost non-interacting at short range [65] then the large masses
of hadrons (presumed to be lowest energy states of quark systems) are quite problematic. We
believe that we can not avoid this paradox by introducing the hypothetical mechanism of quark
confinement which has not received explicit demonstration so far. The so called mass gap [66]

37
problem in which mathematical physicists have been interested (and whose precise formulation
is as of now not available), is most likely a reformulation of this paradox.
So if the jets can not be due to quarks then they may be something else. The most natural
candidates suggested by this model are the charged neutrinos. In fact we believe that the study
of jets may be used to understand the quantum field theory of massless charged particles.
[67, 68]

11 Criticism of the Model and Conclusion

In conformity with the prevalent ideas we still have only the weak requirement of ”renormaliz-
ability” [32, 33, 34, 35] for the model. However in agreement with Dirac’s views [69], we believe
that renormalization in a fundamental theory is to be regarded as a calculable and physically
measurable departure from a conceptually simpler situation - in other words renormalization
effects must all be finite. In the present model, although some of the infinities arising in
renormalization integrals (other than those associated with the anomalous Feynman diagrams
[38, 40, 39]) do cancel, other infinities survive. We believe that the model must eventually
evolve to the stage in which all divergences of Feynman diagrams cancel (not just those of the
anomalous diagrams). This may be possible, since the model provides hints of new kinds of
symmetries linking scalars, fermions, and vector bosons (these symmetries are implemented
differently from supersymmetry [70]).
Dirac’s dream of a finite quantum field theory is closer to realization.
Failure to realize this dream has led some of us to propose the radical viewpoint that there are
various levels of descriptions with their own laws. However we feel that if the non existence of
a calculable mechanism to derive laws at any stage from those at a more fundamental level is
accepted as a matter of principle, then what we are really saying is that there is no physical
theory and that it is just an exercise in very complicated parameter fitting of experimental
data.
