A Unified Theory of Relativity and Particle Physics

In summary, the Standard Model of particle physics is fully compatible with special relativity, but reconciling general relativity with the Standard Model remains a challenge. There is currently no consensus solution for explaining dark matter, although there are some viable theories. Dark energy can be explained by the cosmological constant, but there are tensions between this simple model and current data. Alternative dark energy models have been proposed, but the cosmological constant model remains the best fit for current observations.

Is there a peer reviewed paper that proposes a way to connect the relativity of time dilation, length contraction and the relative effects of gravitation per acceleration with respect to mass with the standard model of particle physics? An established theory which also takes into account both dark matter, dark energy and quantum entanglement?

If not, how do I go about it?

Since you want to make mass the central concept of your grand theory, study how the Higgs mechanism is supposed to work and see if you find it acceptable.

Standard Model is fully campatible with special relativity.

Correct. The much harder part is reconciling general relativity (i.e. gravity) with the Standard Model. There is also no consensus solution to explaining dark matter, although there are several viable theories that are consistent with all available evidence to a reasonable extent that may be salvageable. Dark energy can be fully explained with the cosmological constant, although tensions between this very simple model and the data are growing and now approach three sigma. Many alternative dark energy theories have been proposed, most of which are viable to explain that one question.

Comparison of dark energy models after Planck 2015
Yue-Yao Xu, Xin Zhang

We make a comparison for ten typical, popular dark energy models according to theirs capabilities of fitting the current observational data. The observational data we use in this work include the JLA sample of type Ia supernovae observation, the Planck 2015 distance priors of cosmic microwave background observation, the baryon acoustic oscillations measurements, and the direct measurement of the Hubble constant. Since the models have different numbers of parameters, in order to make a fair comparison, we employ the Akaike and Bayesian information criteria to assess the worth of the models. The analysis results show that, according to the capability of explaining observations, the cosmological constant model is still the best one among all the dark energy models. The generalized Chaplygin gas model, the constant w model, and the α dark energy model are worse than the cosmological constant model, but still are good models compared to others. The holographic dark energy model, the new generalized Chaplygin gas model, and the Chevalliear-Polarski-Linder model can still fit the current observations well, but from an economically feasible perspective, they are not so good. The new agegraphic dark energy model, the Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati model, and the Ricci dark energy model are excluded by the current observations.
 

1. What is a Unified Theory of Relativity and Particle Physics?

A Unified Theory of Relativity and Particle Physics is a theoretical framework that aims to explain the fundamental forces and interactions in the universe, including gravity, electromagnetism, and the strong and weak nuclear forces. It seeks to unify the theories of general relativity and quantum mechanics, which currently describe these phenomena separately.

2. Why is it important to have a Unified Theory of Relativity and Particle Physics?

A Unified Theory of Relativity and Particle Physics is important because it would provide a more complete and comprehensive understanding of the universe and its workings. It would also allow for more accurate predictions and potentially lead to new technologies and advancements in various fields.

3. Who developed the concept of a Unified Theory of Relativity and Particle Physics?

The concept of a Unified Theory of Relativity and Particle Physics has been explored by numerous scientists and physicists, including Albert Einstein, who first proposed the idea of unifying gravity and electromagnetism. Other notable contributors include Richard Feynman, Steven Weinberg, and Stephen Hawking.

4. Is there any evidence to support the existence of a Unified Theory of Relativity and Particle Physics?

While there is currently no definitive evidence for a Unified Theory of Relativity and Particle Physics, scientists continue to search for ways to test and validate this theory. Some potential evidence includes the unification of the electromagnetic and weak nuclear forces in the Standard Model of particle physics, as well as the observed symmetry between matter and antimatter in the universe.

5. What are the challenges in developing a Unified Theory of Relativity and Particle Physics?

Developing a Unified Theory of Relativity and Particle Physics is a complex and ongoing endeavor. Some of the main challenges include reconciling the discrepancies between the theories of general relativity and quantum mechanics, as well as finding a way to incorporate gravity into the framework of quantum mechanics. Additionally, testing and validating the theory through experiments and observations is a difficult and ongoing process.
