Introduction to Particle Physics
... Can the large number of free parameters in the SM (19 or even larger for massive s) be reduced? Why is the electric charge of electron and proton equal? Should the gauge couplings unify at high energies? In the SM they do not! Why are ~17 orders of magnitude between EW and Planck scale? How can the ...

... Thus tAB = (tB tA) = tAB = (tB tA). In fact we have a strong notion that time and space are absolute quantities. We think that we can define a point in ‘absolute’ space and ‘absolute’ time, and that space and time are the same for everyone, no matter how they are moving with respect to each o ...
