A New Theory Suggests Mass May Emerge From Invisible Dimensions

A recent study published in Nuclear Physics B proposes that mass may emerge from hidden dimensions that change over time, forming stable geometric patterns that behave like particles and fields within spacetime. Led by physicist Richard Pincak, the research suggests that torsion, a property of these dimensions, could be responsible for the emergence of mass, potentially altering the curvature of spacetime and the rate of cosmic expansion. The theory, which does not contradict the existence of the Higgs field, offers a new perspective on the origin of mass and symmetry-breaking in the universe.
