From strand model unification to the fine structure constant — •Christoph Schiller — München

The strand model of black holes, vacuum and particles predicts black hole entropy, the field equations of general relativity and the Dirac equation. Modelling particles as rational (unknotted) tangles of strands leads to the observed elementary particle spectrum. Modelling interactions as tangle deformations, and using the three Reidemeister moves of knot theory, yields the electromagnetic, the weak and the strong interaction, with all features. Strands suggest the lack of physics beyond the standard model. Strands also suggest how to calculate the fundamental constants of elementary particle physics, and in particular, the fine structure constant. An approximation is presented.
