This is the fascinating story of the development of Standard Model of particle physics between Dirac's prediction of the positron in 1928 and the introduction of the six-quark model in 1973. The Standard Model of particle physics is the theory describing three of the four known fundamental forces in the universe (electromagnetic, weak and strong interactions - excluding gravity), and classifying all known elementary particles. Although the Standard Model has demonstrated some success in providing experimental predictions, it falls short of being a complete theory of fundamental interactions. Part I describes the development of the Standard Model from the Bohr model of the atom in 1913, based on what were believed to be 3 stable particles, electrons in orbit around a nucleus comprised of protons and neutrons, to its emergence in 1973 as the six-quark model, comprising 52 elementary particles and anti-particles, of which only the electron is believed to be stable. Part III, which was previously Part II, introduced an alternative to the Standard Model, Supersymmetry; and Part IV, which was previously Part II, introduced, String Theory. The Second Edition includes a new PART II on Unified Gravity, describing two recent papers by Partanen, M. & Tulkki, J. The innovation of most interest is their introduction in the March, 2024 paper of an eight-component spinorial wave equation of the electromagnetic field and the application of this to produce an eight-component spinorial (non-relativistic) formulation of Maxwell's equations in which the four equations are represented by a single eight-component spinorial equation. The second paper attempted to use this to derive a gauge theory of gravity called unified gravity using compact, finite-dimensional symmetries, in which the metric tensor entered through geometric conditions. The Second Edition also includes a description of the Lagrangian on pages 20-1.
Underwood, Trevor: - "Trevor Underwood was born in England in 1943, and became a US citizen in 2004. He earned a M.A. in mathematics and physics at Cambridge University in 1965, and a M.Sc. in economics at the London School of Economics in 1967, followed by further graduate studies at the University of Rochester, NY, and at Harvard University. He worked for the Bank of England, the International Monetary Fund, and the UK Treasury between 1969 and 1973. He founded a treasury consultancy and software company in 1974, which he ran until 2017. In 2008 he returned to scientific research. In November 2015, he published a paper A new model of human dispersal on bioRxiv.org, the online preprint archive for biology. He then wrote six climate science papers which were published in a book (November 2019) The Surface Temperature of the Earth. In November 2021, he published Urbain Le Verrier on the Movement of Mercury - annotated translations. This was followed by a series of reviews of theoretical physics: (April 2023) Quantum Electrodynamics, Volumes I and II; (June 2023) Special Relativity; (November 2023) General Relativity; (March 2024) Gravity; (May 2024) Electricity & Magnetism; (July 2024) Quantum Entanglement; and (September 2024) The Standard Model; culminating in his conclusions in (October 2024) New Physics. Following this he published (November 2024) Cosmological Redshift of Light; (January 2025) Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation; and (May 2025) Fundamental Physics."
