The Neutron's 877.8 Second Secret, a Closed-Form Equation for Neutron Lifetime
- pajuhaan 8mo agoI just put out a short preprint where I try a very different “minimal model” for the free neutron lifetime — not by plugging weak couplings! but by treating decay as a rare unlocking event in a geometric/statistical picture (a 3-loop proton junction + 1-loop lepton lock). It lands at 877.83 s, close to the best bottle results, and i also discuss why beam/proton-counting can end up higher. I’m not claiming this replaces the Standard Model — more like a checkable hypothesis about where these timescales might emerge from. preprint: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/400280164_A_Two-Body_Invariant_Unlocking_Estimate_for_the_Free_Neutron_Mean_Life https://www.researchgate.net/publication/400280164_A_Two-Bod...
