[QUOTE="bayakiv, post: 6483359, member: 681913"] @[USER=103130]mitchell porter[/USER], If we look for motivation for the concept of the mass of an elementary particle, then one cannot fail to notice one remarkable analogy. Let an elementary particle be a point in Euclidean space, but a cone with the axis coinciding with the axis of time in Minkowski space. What then will its gravitational mass be? Obviously - some function of the cone length and cone opening angle, for example, the projection of the cone onto the time axis. In turn, the inert mass can be correlated with the pseudo-Euclidean length of the inclined cone. An elementary particle in this case can be compared to a sail carried away by the flow of time. How do you like this analogy? As for braids, permutations and matrices, do not forget that a braid, with a slight movement of the hand (thought), turns into a knot or an engagement of knots, and the projection of a knot in Minkowski space turns into a segment on the time axis.
