On a Neutrino Theory of Matter

TL;DR

This paper proposes a neutrino-based model where massless Weyl neutrinos interact to form massive particles, offering a quantum mechanical explanation for matter's origin.

Contribution

It introduces a novel neutrino interaction model that explains the emergence of mass from massless neutrino components.

Findings

Model exhibits energy branching and defects indicating mass formation.

Quantum analysis supports neutrino interactions as a basis for matter.

Potential implications for understanding particle mass origins.

Abstract

Physically observable particles are assumed to result from an interaction between massless positively and negatively oriented 2-component Weyl neutrinos. A simple quantum mechanical analysis of a composite system of Weyl neutrinos of opposite orientations with a certain specific interaction shows that such a model can exhibit a 2-fold branching and defect in the total energy of the system, which could then be interpreted as formation of massive particles.
