I read the current February Scientific American issue which focuses on the Large Hadron Collider and the coming physics. It mentions the so called Hierarchy Problem. I encountered this concept before in Randall's Warped Passages & others but didn't totally undersTOOD them. I thought it was simply about why gravity is very weak compared to the electroweak or unification scale... and I thought before so what they are just like that. but the article and succeeding researches in the net say there is a technical explanation and it is about the Higgs. Theoretical justification says that the Higgs boson which satisfy the electroweak theory should have almost planck mass but in reality it is much lower. For those who don't understand what is the Hierarchy Problem. This is how I understand it. Say Jerry who is poor african guy has total money or asset of $50. Bill Gates has asset worth $100 billion. In the odd quantum world. Virtual particles can do parlor tricks. So it's like asking how come Jerry is not as rich as Bill Gates. In quantum terms esp HUP. If the time is small enough, there is uncertainty in energy which could be any amount. So poor Jerry could have $100 billion within a certain time allowed by the uncertainty. This means Jerry has potential $100 billion but how come he doesn't actually have it. Well. The above is not a very accurate analogy. Let's go directly to the point. The Higgs can theoretically have virtual particles that can reach the planck mass or energy. So theoretical justification says the Higgs boson should be almost in the planck mass range because of quantum contributions or corrections (involving virtual particles). But in reality it is only in the electroweak mass scale (1 TeV compared to the planck mass 10 ^ 16 T). So the most puzzling problem in physics now is how come poor Jerry or almost any person on earth is not as rich as Bill Gates? Or why the Higgs doesn't have planck mass.. BTW.. I also read that chiral symmetry protect the masses of the bosons and fermions such as quarks and electrons from undergoing the same problem as the Higgs which can by theory reach planck mass scale but not. Something about the actual masses proportional to the intrinsic masses (bare masses without quantum contributions). Can anyone explain what this means? Does it have something to do with the fact that the quarks and electrons before symmetry breaking don't have masses that's why they are said to be "protected" or is it a QED stunt and if so, What's the detail why chiral symmetry protect the masses of the bosons and fermions from undergoing quantum corrections that could pull their masses to the planck scale? Well. Presently they have some solutions to solve the Hierarchy Problem. One is Supersymmetry in which our fermions and bosons have superpartners. This means the higgs planck mass of say a photon is cancelled by the corresponding higgs planck mass of say the sphoton but this is not convincing because they are not detected as is, meaning they don't exactly correspond to the standard model masses. Also Supersymmetry can introduce 120 more constants of nature add hocly added in addition to the 20 Standard Model variables. The second solution to solve the hierarchy problems involved hidden dimensions. I went back to Randall book and finally understood what she was implying. It is that the electroweak masses are sequestered in a brane while the planck masses are sequestered in another brane. This means their quantum side is isolated from each other so the higgs can only reach the maximum of the electroweak mass scale or about 1 TeV rather than 10 ^16T. This is cool explanation and I wonder how many agree to this. Randall also mentions how infinite extra dimensions could exist and the Kaluza Klein signatures or particles being so light that they can't be detected (because of the theory that small dimensions can produce massive KK particles while large dimensions can produce lighter KK particles). Third solution is the so called "light higgs" stuff which doesn't allow higher dimensions. Do you agree with it? Fourth solution is that the concept of virtual particles have flaws or not thouroughly understood although this is unlikely because of the amazing success of QED and QFT which can prove in analogy that a poor south african farmer named Jerry can have a virtual Jerry that is as rich as Bill Gates. This is the amazing world of QED where things are more bizarre than sci-fi. Where quantum corrections and virtual particles can play parlor tricks that can make newtonians crazy. The Hierarchy Problem is the mother of physics problem in which convensional physicists focus. I wonder how come the kooks here don't discuss this. This is much more interesting than any of their materials. Come on. Let's focus on the Hierarchy Problem as it is what really matter. Zilla |
