Forced Matter

Things are not always as they seem.

Matter and forces do not appear to be cut from the same cloth.

We assert that matter and forces are intimately related, and their relationship is what solidifies mass, charge, and space.
In physics, matter and forces are typecast so contrarily, figuratively, they might as well live at opposite ends of the universe. The notion of an early rapid cosmic inflation provides a means for regions that are currently outside their effective horizon to conceivably have been in causal contact in the past. Considering the presumptive early exponential expansion of the universe, a matter particle on one side of the universe and a force particle on the other have not always been outside each other’s effective horizon. Still, how could matter and forces, born out of “nothingness,” complement and even posture against each other?
We claim that for matter and forces, it was an antithesis from the very beginning. Not a conflict, mind you. An opposition rooted in complementarity. There must be an interplay between the two. The fastidious Felix Ungar and the slovenly Oscar Madison under the same roof. A juxtaposition of interlocking puzzle pieces; where one leaves off, the other begins. What the one leaves unfinished, the other one is on the hook for. An odd couple—for sure. Far from arbitrary and entirely independent of each other, a precise assembly of complementing counterparts. Opposites, yet partners in crime.
What we detect as matter particles or force-messenger particles are nothing but excitations in their corresponding asserted fields. Yet the Standard Model still leaves matter and forces as strangers; so, that cannot be the end of the story. Once again, symmetry has been brought in to reconcile the two. For more than simply aesthetic reasons, a special symmetry, dubbed supersymmetry (SUSY), between the elementary matter particles (quarks and leptons) and the elementary force particles (gauge bosons), has been explored in numerous publications until the ultimate arbiter, Nature, had a say. CERN’s refusal to reveal any postulated superpartners since the Higgs discovery in 2012 has curbed the enthusiasm of all but the most devoted SUSY supporters. The results, or lack thereof, forced the hand of SUSY devotees to move the goalposts and increase the presumed mass scale where superpartners may appear.
Conceivably, this nondetection is another “curious incident of the dog in the nighttime.” As explained by Sherlock Holmes in Arthur Conan Doyle’s story, “The Adventure of Silver Blaze,” the curious incident of the dog not barking at the intruder is easily explained; the dog made no noise, because no stranger was there: “I had grasped the significance of the silence of the dog, for one true inference invariably suggests others … obviously the night visitor was someone whom the dog knew well.” Sherlock Holmes’s famous deduction on the dog that did nothing in the nighttime conceivably can shed light on why our “dogs” did not bark for SUSY particles. Though present in our detectors, the supersymmetric particles were neither new nor strangers; rather, they were familiar old friends. This insight, in and of itself, may advocate a resolution.
While there is no discernible SUSY between matter and forces for elementary particles, could some type of SUSY extend to lowly composite particles, like hadrons, with matter and forces leaving enough elbow room for the charge to materialize?
Herein, we define a new field—the OVY field—that appears to reveal an uncharted supersymmetry between matter and forces. It is noteworthy and perhaps revealing something deep about Nature that mass, charge, and perhaps even space and time seem to tiptoe themselves arm in arm onto the OVY scheme canvas.
