Dear Marcoen
One theory is recognized to be true - that is, to have the ability to refute any criticism - and of course nothing is quite difficult to prove.
Higgs theory is not true - because it can not the absolute explain for mass.

Hi there Hoang cao Hai,
Thanks for providing the links to your essays. I'm rather pressed for time, but if there is a window of opportunity to read other essays I'll consider reading yours.
I'm not sure what you meant in your first sentence.
Do you mean that, in general, a theory is recognized to be true if it has withstood all criticism? And what do you mean by "nothing is quite difficult to prove"? Do you mean that everything is easy to prove? Could you elaborate on that?
Best regards,
Marcoen
Hi Marcoen,
Perhaps a more fundamental question than whether the Higgs boson exists or not is the question (I ask in my essay) to what the Higgs particle owes its mass to.
Regards, Anton
In my theory, space-time is a consequence of rest matter. Section 4 in
Visualization of SR gives, that time runs only in rest matter, not in photons. Thus it build up time and thus space. Thus space-time is an emergent phenomenon.
But, explanation of Higgs boson gives, that Higgs bosons give mass to rest matter, otherwise rest matter would move with speed of light.
This second explanation is in contradiction with my explanation. Do anyone sees any explanation for this contradiction?
As second, is it possible that a boson with mass 125 MeV exist, it has the same spin as Higgs, but it does not create mass of the elementary particles?
Dear Anton,
Thanks for sharing your ideas with me.
I would like to note, however, that my essay is not about whether the Higgs boson exists or not: it is about whether it has been observed or not.
I agree with you that the question "how does the Higgs boson get its mass?" is a fundamental question too. I am enormously pressed for time at the moment, but if I have the opportunity I will read your essay.
Best regards,
Marcoen
Dear Marcoen,
A very topical and relevant article. I like they way you've used something so recent as an example of what we consider observation. Original on here, but fundamentally important.
Here's my essay if you have chance to look - I'd appreciate any comments you have.
All the best,
Antony
Dear Janko,
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Usually in classical theory, if two particles are different they have a different position. But you write that in your theory space-time is emergent. That means it is not fundamental. But what is then the distinguishing principle between different particles of "rest matter" (as you call it)?
As to your second question: according to the Standard Model, no such particle exists.
Best regards,
Marcoen
Dear Antony,
Thanks for your kind words.
I am rather pressed for time at the moment, but if I have the chance I will read your essay and comment on it.
Best regards,
Marcoen
Marcoen,
If given the time and the wits to evaluate over 120 more entries, I have a month to try. My seemingly whimsical title, "It's good to be the king," is serious about our subject.
Jim
Hello Marcoen,
There are so many - it's a big task.
All the best in the contest!
Antony
James,
Thanks for taking the time to comment.
I quickly skimmed through your essay, and I see that we are both skeptical about this "it from bit" thing. I should give your essay full attention, but I cannot make any promises as I am really tied up at the moment.
Best regards,
Marcoen
Marcoen,
."It is argued that it is neither the case that the new boson has been observed directly, nor that the contended claim can be deduced from the research result."
There is no doubt that many assumptions about physics are based on models with incomplete data, bias toward expected results, etc, including the anthropic principle. My essay makes similar claims.
Jim
James,
It is true that assumptions are unproven. But we must distinguish between assumptions and conclusions.
The claim that the Higgs boson has been observed is a conclusion, not an assumption. Big difference.
Best regards,
Marcoen
Hello Marсoen,
Great actual «An Essay Concerning Human Misunderstanding ...» Reserch in the spirit of Descartes: «subjects all doubt». Gregory Gutner in the article "The ontology of mathematical discourse" said: "The event, which consists in grasping the structure, means understanding." Obviously, we must "grab" a structure to understand the foundation of the world.
Poet Alexander Vvedenisky said in 1930:
"Не разглядеть нам мир подробно,
Ничтожно все и дробно,
Печаль меня от этого всего берет».
Of course, physicists can break up the matter further, but when will we see the world as a whole?
Best regards,
Vladimir

Не разглядеть нам мир подробно
Hi Marcoen,
I am shocked with your short article!
We will change our impressions/opinions later. (I am very hope)
Now I am going to rate your work as a ,,Shocking,, !!!
George
Dear Vladimir,
Spasibo bol'shoe - Many thanks for your kind words and for the interesting poem of Vvedenisky.
By observation we see only aspects of the physical world. So if we want a clear and distinct idea of the physical world as a whole we need another source of knowledge. A discussion about that is included in my PhD thesis.
Best regards,
Marcoen
George,
Thanks for your comments.
Best regards,
