One notable feature of the Dirac equation is that it can be written in a unique form, sometimes referred to as the zigzag representation of a spinor [o19]. In this description, every electron (or another massive fermion with spin 1/2) appears as a particle moving along a zigzag trajectory and is in a state of continuous oscillations between the left-handed "zig" phase and the right-handed "zag" phase. Each of these alternating states, by itself, is massless, and mass arises only when the entire scenario is considered collectively.

In the later Higgs theory, which appeared in the 1960s, this constant turns into a special — Higgs — field, which enters into equations as another interaction that gives fermions mass…
@ -18,7 +16,7 @@ Describing this field slightly differently, the zigzag oscillations of particles
Dominating physics of the XIX century, the idea of the ether was necessary for scientists to explain light and other electromagnetic interactions. In the XX century, after rejecting the ether, physicists discovered two other completely different fundamental interactions, strong and weak nuclear ones. However, the general mathematical structure of these mechanisms undoubtedly guides theorists towards the search for a unified construction capable of combining all three (ideally all four, along with gravity) interactions. But at the same time, a model of particle oscillations in a very specific medium — called the "field with nonzero vacuum energy" and possessing properties of a superfluid — clearly emerged.
Emphasizing the clear parallel between the Higgs field and the ether is useful for several reasons. First of all, to remember the long-forgotten studies of the Norwegian scientist **Carl Bjerknes**. At the end of the XIX century, he mathematically rigourously built, based on the equations of hydrodynamics and the concept of ether as an all-pervasive medium, a "theory of pulsating spheres," explaining practically all known effects of electromagnetism at the time. Moreover, Bjerknes's model was vividly confirmed by his ingenious experiments with liquids and oscillating systems immersed in them. [i14][i15]

One of the most spectacular results of the theory, in particular, looked like this. Spheres periodically changing their size during pulsations in one phase create waves leading to their mutual repulsion, and during oscillations in antiphase—to attraction. Moreover, the strength of this interaction is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between "charges"—as in Coulomb's law.

Mysteries of this kind would be solved easily and simply if it could be shown that the proton and electron are in fact opposite oscillation phases of the same oscillon.

In mathematical terminology, a situation when all orientation directions of elements were previously equal — or symmetric — and then became consistently oriented in one direction, is called "symmetry breaking."
![](https://kniganews.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/bc42antiferromagnet.jpg)
In classical physics, a very fitting example of this phenomenon is provided by the phenomenon of antiferromagnetism. Like other substances with magnetic properties, antiferromagnets consist of molecules with a dipole moment that behave like tiny magnets. At high temperatures, all these little magnets are oriented randomly within the substance, meaning that every direction is equally probable, and the entire system as a whole is symmetrical.
![](https://kniganews.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/bc42antiferromagnet.jpg)
When the system's temperature drops, at a certain point, spontaneous alignment of the magnets along a single axis occurs. Symmetry of directions in the system turns out to be broken. Moreover, in antiferromagnetic substances, each magnet, during spontaneous ordering, aligns antiparallel to its neighbors. In other words, their common direction's axis is one, but the poles of neighboring molecules are pointed in opposite directions.
Juxtaposing this picture of spontaneous symmetry breaking with the phenomenon of oscillons and the "trembling" of massive particles along the time axis, there is little left to do. To assume that the particles' zigzag jumps occur not in the same world, but from one membrane-space to another. Then the solution appears almost self-evident. The proton is the broad base of the oscillon on one membrane, and the electron is the almost pointlike peak of the same oscillon on another membrane.

In 1919, Kaluza showed that if one added another fifth extra dimension to the equations of GTR, an astonishing thing happened. It turned out that with this approach, one could elegantly merge Einstein's theory of gravitation and Maxwell's theory of electromagnetism into a unified and homogeneous conceptual system. (Put a bit differently from the standpoint of modern science even then a signal came that there is some direct connection between the graviton and the photon.)

This configuration is known in physics as the "Kelvin Oval" [i34], has soliton properties a stable solitary wave and is most famous for propagating strictly in a straight line as a single entity. During the branes convergence the axes of rotation of the vortices in this pair are perpendicular to the membrane, so geometrically they should be considered fermions at this moment.

Secondly, in the field of hydrodynamics, which often comes to theorists' aid in understanding the mysteries of nuclear physics, there is a phenomenon close in essence and called Hyde's vacillation or wavering. Its essence lies in the fact that in flat rotating systems of nature often observed a phenomenon of self-organization in the form of a specific oscillatory process. The phase of regular waves in a liquid or gas periodically alternates with a phase of turbulent vortices, which then again are replaced by regular waves. And so on. That is, stable vacillation of the system occurs between states of order and chaos. There are reasons to believe that a similar process of vacillation of the system between quark-vortices and gluon-waves occurs in the proton during its rotation. [i42]

The description of natural-scientific models using real numbers — as one of the possible extensions of rational numbers — progressed for several centuries and hit a dead end on the micro scale. According to Ostrowski's theorem, another logically justified option for describing the world is *p-*adic numbers, in whose space the Archimedean axiom is violated.
Since there are no other options for expanding rational numbers to the concept of continuity in mathematics, it is natural to assume that the time has most likely come to describe the world in terms of *p-*adic arithmetic and non-Archimedean geometry.
Since there are no other options for expanding rational numbers to the concept of continuity in mathematics, it is natural to assume that the **time has most likely come to describe the world in terms of *p-*adic arithmetic and non-Archimedean geometry**.
For some unexplained historical reasons, the key role in reformulating physics into the language of *p-*adic numbers and ultrametric analysis was taken up by scientists from the Russian mathematical school. And what is remarkable, real progress in this direction began only after the passing of Marc Krasner and Alexander Ostrowski in the mid-1980s.

In those same years, in 1944, Carl Jung began additional work as a professor at the University of Basel. Another professor at this university was Alexander M. Ostrowski. Furthermore, in 1949, this *p-*adic specialist married a specialist in analytical psychology, Margaret Sachs, a disciple and associate of Carl Gustav Jung. Finally, in 1958, Ostrowski himself became a visiting professor at ETH in Zurich, where Pauli worked permanently…
In short, nearly everything was ready for Pauli and Ostrowski to come closer together. The great physicist would surely have learned more about *p-*adic numbers, adeles, and their remarkable features. And, of course, Pauli would have noticed how beautifully the structure of adeles fit his ideas of the mutual complementarity of matter and consciousness… But none of this, alas, happened in reality.[i67]

In which the scientist converses with a regular guest in his dreams — a character with a distinctly Eastern appearance and the symbolic name of the Persian. [i91]
Judging by his behavior, this Persian is far more knowledgeable than Wolfgang Pauli in matters of the structure of consciousness and the part of world that hidden from us. That's why he confidently declares: "It is me who stand between you and the Light, so you are my shadow, and not the other way around." For Pauli, however, this hardly sounds convincing, as he is sure that Persian in his dreams is just one of the aspects of his own consciousness.
