Exploring the Origin of Subatomic Charge: Insights from Quantum Physics and a Universal Dark Energy Perspective

Quantum theory posits that charge is an intrinsic property of subatomic particles. However, recent theoretical hypotheses suggest that the origin of charge in protons, electrons, and their antiparticles may be related to a quantum field theory. This article delves into one such hypothesis that ties the charge of subatomic particles to the Universal Dark Energy (UDE).

Introducing the Universal Dark Energy (UDE)

The concept of Universal Dark Energy (UDE) has been proposed to explain the generation of the accelerated expansion of our universe. According to this theory, UDE fills 3D space and is the heat energy of a Universal Ideal Gas (UIG). Professor James Clerk Maxwell’s classical Kinetic Theory, defined by Ludwig Boltzmann in 1866, describes ideal gases as mass-points that interact via perfect elastic collisions. This theory can be extended to suggest that protons, electrons, and their antiparticles could be stable, cyclonic structures within this UIG, much like Lord Kelvin’s vortex ring from 1867.

Charge as a Pressure Gradient in the UIG

According to this hypothesis, the charge of protons and electrons, as well as their antiparticles, arises from a pressure gradient in the pressure field of the UIG around a ring-shaped cyclonic eye within these subatomic particles. This pressure gradient is a manifestation of the dynamic interactions within the UIG, providing a physical basis for the charge observed in these particles.

The Rejection of Mystical Attachments

It's important to note that charge is not an attachment or anomalous property to subatomic particles but rather a theoretical parameter describing the discrete, quantum nature of these particles. In terms of spacetime, a charge behaves with spherical symmetry. Other types of charges have different geometric representations or symmetries, reflecting the complex interactions within the quantum field.

Understanding Mass and Other Charges

While we can describe the behavior of subatomic particles with great precision, the deeper nature of phenomena such as mass and color charge remains a mystery. Just as we have a limited understanding of mass, the role of color charge in nucleons, and even the nature of space and time, unifying these concepts into a coherent framework remains a significant challenge for physicists. Theoretical models like the Theory of Everything, proposed in the author's Quora profile, suggest a deeper connection between these fundamental aspects of the universe.

Conclusion

The understanding of subatomic charges is a continuous journey in physics. The hypothesis presented here, which ties the charge of subatomic particles to the Universal Dark Energy and the Universal Ideal Gas, provides an intriguing perspective on the nature of charge. Further research and empirical evidence are necessary to validate or refute this hypothesis. As our understanding of the universe deepens, so too will our theories of these fundamental aspects.
