[QUOTE="mfb, post: 6411737, member: 405866"] Cant' comment on the overall calculations but I can check 4.17. There are two claims: 1) ##\frac 5 8 = \cos^2(\theta_W)## which implies ##\frac 3 8 = \sin^2(\theta_W)## [url=https://physics.nist.gov/cgi-bin/cuu/Value?sin2th]CODATA 2018[/url] tells us ##\sin^2(\theta_W)=0.22290(30)## which isn't anywhere close to 3/8 = 0.375. 2) ##m_H=2\cos(\theta_W)m_W## [url=https://pdglive.lbl.gov/Particle.action?node=S043&init=0]PDG[/url] has the W mass at 80.379±0.012 GeV and 91.1876±0.0021 GeV. Using the experimental Weinberg angle we get ~141 GeV which is obviously absurd. Using ##\sqrt{\frac{5}{8}}## we get 127.090 +- 0.019 GeV. That's 14 standard deviations away from the experimental result (using PDG's 125.10 +- 0.14 GeV). Good, experiments ruled out their model. [/QUOTE]
