This paper aims to integrate recent discoveries concerning the scalar boson-commonly known as the Higgs boson-into the framework of contemporary physics. It begins by examining the relationship between the Higgs boson mass and the masses of the neutron, proton, and electron. From this analysis emerges a new conceptual mechanism, referred to as massification/demassification, which describes the quantum creation of mass via the Higgs boson, followed by its annihilation a quantum instant later-ultimately resulting in baryonic mass.

 

This process is iterative in nature: massification/demassification is a discontinuous quantum phenomenon, yet endlessly reproducible due to the persistent presence of the Higgs field. This generates a chain of mass -antimass - mass transitions, constantly reinitiated in a non - continuous manner. Through this dynamic, baryonic mass-the type of mass we observe in the classical physical world-is produced and perceived.

 

The uninterrupted, yet quantized, link between the Higgs boson and baryonic mass gives rise to a brane of positive mass, offset by a corresponding brane of negative mass. This positive/negative mass is not directly observable but underlies baryonic mass like an immaterial thread - a fabric composed of both mass and antimass. This ethereal substratum behaves in a way that defies certain principles of classical physics, notably time and its derivative: space. In the absence of time, space loses its conventional meaning.

 

This perspective opens the door to a redefinition of fundamental physical quantities: mass, time, and space, as well as electromagnetism, and the weak and strong nuclear interactions. All are re-examined through the lens of the Higgs boson and the Brout-Englert-Higgs mechanism.

 

The key results are:

• A new structural model for the neutron and proton, in terms of mass and electromagnetism,

• A proposed unification of the weak and strong nuclear forces,

• A novel approach to calculating the binding energy of elements and their isotopes.

 

Furthermore, these findings may pave the way for technological breakthroughs in several domains: nuclear energy production, antigravity (through the interaction of mass and antimass), and information technology-moving beyond electron-based systems to those utilizing gluons.
