Curious Similarity between Buddhism and Particle Physics

第11話 File11. Higgs Mechanism, Mystery of Disappeared Antimatters

To move to “GOKURAKU” all matters should be exchanged to Energy. But in our Universe there is no antimatter to be annihilated due to Symmetry Breaking. To where antimatters had gone? Without minus nobody could produce Zero. Without antimatters nobody could be exchanged to Energy. Let us go to search for antimatters.

We have a hint in “Higgs Mechanism”. July 2012, a big discovery was done at CERN. That was Higgs Boson which is said to give matters “Mass”. Without Higgs Boson, all matters would lose mass and could not be existing. In Physical term “Mass” means difficulty to move which is different from “Weight”. Actually Higgs Boson has no exact shape like bolls but it is a kind of energy exciting. Then Physicists usually call it “Higgs Field”. The “Higgs” was named after Peter Higgs, the famous English theoretical physicist who expected Higgs Boson. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics because of this work.

How can we imagine the actual Higgs Field? I would like to compare it with “Football Field”. The football field is covered by lawn. Thanks to lawn a football player can play game without slipping. Lawn leaves can give Player and Ball “Mass” namely “Difficulty to Move”. Then the football game can be effectively played. We can think that every leaf of the Lawn is like the Energy Exciting springing up from the Field.

If we carefully observe the football field, we can notice there is underground of the field. We can never see any root of lawn from observer seats but if we move to on the field and dig up the lawn we will find out numerous roots. It is a little similar to the way searching for antimatters at CERN. Using LHC, Large Hadron Collider, physicists succeeded in digging up antimatters by accelerating protons to the near light speed and making collision with each other. Yes, there are antimatters actually. It had not been erased but only hidden in the Underground.

Then what is the Underground? It could be the world made by only antimatters. The Higgs Field could have two sides. One is the face side which can interact only with matters and the other is the back side which can interact only with antimatters. These two sides are completely equivalent and exchangeable. As I mentioned in File1, in the true vacuum there is the very tiny fluctuation of energy which creates waves. A wave has top and bottom. Top only wave or bottom only wave is not thinkable. As is the case with a wave, face only field or back only field is not thinkable.

There is one good example supporting this assumption. That is “Ekpyrotic Universe”. The Ekpyrotic Universe Theory shows that our Universe is one of many universes which are floating in the High Dimensions Space. The Theory says that the Big Bann was the crash of two Universes and those Universes are separated at present. The Theory also says such crash and separation will repeat again like a pendulum forever.

If I boldly prospect again, on the Doomsday the Higgs Field will collapse all at once and total Pair Annihilation will occur. It would look like Big Crunch which is the complete reverse of Big Bann. However at this moment all Matters and Antimatters will be exchanged into Energy and be ready to shift to another new Universe.

In Buddhism’ word, on the Doomsday Atman will be unified with Brahman by Amida’s Force and all soles will be saved.
