Hierarchy Based Microworld Scales' Classification and Microworld Physics

TL;DR

This paper proposes a hierarchy-based classification of microworld scales using set theory, suggesting quarks are on a lower hierarchy scale, which may explain detection difficulties and impacts information transfer in physics.

Contribution

It introduces a novel hierarchy framework for microworld scales based on set theory, offering new insights into particle classification and measurement limitations.

Findings

Quarks may belong to a lower hierarchy scale than other elementary particles.

Measurement limitations arise from the multi-step nature of information transfer across scales.

The hierarchy hypothesis could explain the difficulty in detecting free quarks.

Abstract

Scales of the microworld are defined on the grounds of the hierarchy that can be set up within a well ordered finite or infinite countable set of well ordered sets. Indirect measurements in pure mathematical as well as physical meaning are considered as the mean to obtain information on the occurring within each scale. The general concept of the physical laws within a certain scale is defined in the framework of the set theory. The hypothesis is proposed that quarks are not within the same scale as other elementary particles are, but within the following ("smaller", exactly of lower hierarchy) scale. Maybe, in particular, this is the cause of difficulties of the free quark detection? Some other consequences of the abovementioned hypothesis are discussed. Limitations of the possibility to obtain information on the going on within sets of low hierarchy (in particular, "small" scales of the microworld, in physics) and to transfer it toward the set of the highest hierarchy (in particular, to the macroscopic observer in physics) are found as a consequences of the multi-step character of measurements.
