Neutrino-antineutrino plasma defines spacetime and the vacuum

A plasma of right-handed neutrinos and left-handed antineutrinos fills the observable universe. The plasma defines spacetime and the quantum vacuum.

Neutrinos have spin and weak-force charge, so they have a magneto-weak moment like an electron's magnetic moment. Early in the universe, density of neutrinos and antineutrinos grew high enough to meet the Stoner criterion; their magneto-weak moments spontaneously aligned, much as electrons align when iron cools below T_Curie. This alignment released enough energy to make more neutrinos, igniting inflation and filling space with right-handed neutrinos and left-handed antineutrinos at density ~10⁵⁴/m³. The process continues today: weak-force potential energy between neutrinos steadily transforms into more neutrino pairs. Their magneto-weak binding energy in the plasma is so strong (~10¹⁶ eV) that they can't annihilate and we can't detect them in today’s colliders.

This theory has strong explanatory power. From the plasma's properties, it derives the values of c, G, ħ, Λ, m_Z, m_W, m_H, and m_top, the origin and nature of the Higgs field and dark matter, and why neutrinos violate parity. It predicts testable upper limits on kinetic energy for astrophysical particles. It shows that Z⁰, H⁰, and W^± are plasmons and that gravitation is emergent rather than fundamental.

A full theory of gravitation should explain G's value. A full quantum theory should explain ħ's value. This theory does both. Even if it's wrong, it could point the way to a full theory of quantum gravitation.
