On Particle Mass Changes and GR: Space-time Topology Causes LHC Leakage

TL;DR

This paper proposes that changes in particle rest mass are linked to space-time topology, and suggests that LHC observations of particle leakage and Higgs mass shifts provide evidence for these topological effects.

Contribution

It introduces a novel connection between space-time topology and particle mass changes, explaining LHC leakage and Higgs mass shifts as topological phenomena.

Findings

LHC experiences ~18% particle leakage during mass-changing interactions.

Higgs mass appears shifted from 131.6 GeV to 125.2 GeV due to topological effects.

Particle mass changes are associated with multiply connected space-time topology.

Abstract

It is argued that a change in particle rest mass must involve a multiply connected space-time topology. The LHC can probe these topological effects through the particle leakage (~18%) that it experiences in particle mass changing interactions. With a probability of ~82%, this 4-space leakage causes a downward shift in the observable Higgs mass, from its physical value of 131.6 GeV to 125.2 GeV.
