... Why are the masses of ordinary particles almost negligible compared to the Planck mass? ...
Frank Wilczek had a series of 3 articles in "Physics Today" around 2001
that dealt with that
(only in a speculative way
because it is an unsolved problem
but as he is a majorleague theorist with very broad clear vision
it can still be enlightening to read his opinions
you can learn something although the answer is not known)
I think you can find it by googling Wilczek and the title
"Scaling Mount Planck"
---------------------------
Shakeel, maybe you can tell me something about the mass h. problem.
You may already have made some progress.
Wilczek poses the question of why the Planck mass is a big number (13 quintillion, 13 x 10
18) times the proton mass
or why the proton mass is so small in natural units---- 1/(13 quintillion) of the Planck mass.
and he tries to conjecture some explanation for this, but I think without
presuming supersymmetry
do you have some idea of how people now explain this?
