The iconoclastic discovery of faster-than-light neutrinos, if confirmed, again places the Reciprocal System of Physical Theory (RST) in the lime-light. Or at least it would, if the new system weren’t ignored by the Legacy System of Physical Theory (LST) community.
Here at the Larson Research Center (LRC), we are getting woefully behind major new developments, as they come in ever faster. Nevertheless, it’s interesting to see how the RST easily accommodates the new superluminal neutrino findings. In our preon model of the LST standard model of particle physics, we can see that there are two of every fermion particle and anti-particle, except neutinos.
For instance, a left-handed and a right-handed version of the negative electron, and the two corresponding versions of the positive electron (positron), occupy the left and right end positions in the LRC schematic, as shown in figure 1 below:
Figure 1. LRC Chart of Standard Model Fermions Based on SUDR|TUDR Triplet Combos
From this chart, we can see that the central positions of the neutrino and anti-neutrino are unique in that, like the fulcrum of a lever, they are in-between the left and right sides of the chart. This means that, if we rotate the chart horizontally, the positions of all the particles are swapped, except those of the neutrinos, which maintain their central positions along the axis of rotation.
However, notice that such a rotation will invert the postions of the constituent preons (S|T units) in every particle of the chart, including those of the neutrino and anti-neutrino, so that the S|T units on the left and right sides of each triangle are swapped and the left - right orientation of the bottom S|T units in the triangles is reversed.
Thus, the two sides of the chart, the front and backsides if you will, represent two, reciprocal, sets of S|T combos, which correspond to the two sectors of the RST universe of motion. Hence, there are actually two neutrinos and two anti-neutrinos in the system, which Larson would have designated the m-neutrino and the c-neutrino, together with their corresponding anti-particles, inhabiting their respective material and cosmic sectors of the universe of motion.
Therefore, we see that the constituent S|T combos of each sector of the universe of motion exhibit a “handedness,” or chirality, as it is called, which is an observed property of the respective fermions. Of course, the LST standard model also includes a description of interactions between these constituent particles. These interactions are described in terms of mediating particles called bosons, which are the photons, the W and Z bosons and the gluons, together with the missing Higgs boson.
While we have been concentrating our study mostly on the fermions at the LRC, it should be noted that particle interactions in the universe of motion must be described in terms of motion, rather than in the terms of the autonomous “forces,” which the LST community has concocted to suit their purposes, and that this necessarily includes the interaction between the material sector (constructed of material fermions) and the cosmic sector (constructed of cosmic fermions).
Such material sector|cosmic sector interactions are rare, occuring only at the boundaries of the two sectors, where vector motion in space approaches the speed of light, which is the unit speed of the scalar universal space/time expansion.
In the material sector, the 3D oscillations of the SUDRs (space-like motion of fundamental constituents of material fermions) necessarily consist of less-than-speed of light motion, from the expansion of space, or the Material Sector, point of view, while the 3D oscillations of the TUDRs (time-like motion of fundamental constitutents of the cosmic fermions) necessarily consist of less-than-the-speed of light motion, from the expansion of time, or Cosmic Sector, point of view.
With this much understood, the observed faster-than-light neutrinos, if confirmed, would be explained in the RST community, in general, as a sector boundary phenomena, where the time component of c-neutrinos, moving through material sector matter, are “sling-shotted” along their way by the time component of space-like oscillations of the m-fermions. The SUDRs of these fermions have two units of time expansion, for every unit of space expansion, making them less-than-the-speed of light entities, from the space expansion point of view, but effectively increasing the speed of c-neutrinos by their uniform time expansion.
This interaction amounts to the c-neutrinos hitching a ride on the time expansion of m-fermions (i.e. the c-neutrino takes advantage of the m-fermion’s space oscillations, when passing through them,) which is tantamount to effectively increasing their speed, from the expansion of space (material sector) point of view.
Relative to the unit expansion, then, the c-neutrinos are moving faster, like a man running forward on the top of a moving train, from the material point of view, even though they would be moving slower, like a manning running backward on the top of a moving train, from the cosmic point of view.
The bottom line is that Einstein’s equations remain valid, within each sector, but motion in time (space), viewed from across the sector boundary, appears to violate the universal speed limit, just as the inverse of a rational number appears to be greater or smaller, depending upon one’s point of view. Put another way, if the left end of an East-West aligned teeter-totter is lower than its right end, as viewed from its South side, the reverse will be true, when it is viewed from its North side.
The trouble with LST physics, however, is that they do not understand that there are two, reciprocal, sectors of the universe: There is one where matter is constructed of fermions with more less-than-the-speed-of-light material SUDRs, the oscillations of which are space-like, and one where cosmic matter is constructed with more less-than-the-speed-of-light cosmic TUDRs, the oscillations of which are time-like.
But they’re getting there…
