Abstract |
Constructed initially to offer [A] a solution to the generation problem, the FSM turns out to offer also [B] a solution to the strong CP problem, and, via a “hidden sector”, necessitated by the framing of color, more populous and interacting little with our own, [C] the hope of a solution to the dark matter problem as well. In doing so, it gives rise to two new predictions: [CPS] that the definition of CP should depend on scale, and [VTR1] that there could be a vacuum transition at a scale of around 17MeV, both likely to have wide repercussions. So far, [CPS] has led to (a) KM phase in the CKM (PMNS) matrix for quarks (leptons) consistent with experiment, (b) a baryon to photon ratio eta in baryogenesis of size comparable to that observed. And [VTR1], though affecting mainly the “hidden” or dark sector where little is yet explored, has implications nevertheless on several anomalies recently reported by experiment, and, when supplemented by Kaluza-Klein, suggests [D] a possible new solution to the horizon problem in cosmology. |
