Title : The energy structure of mass

Abstract:

Mass is a fundamental physics quantity characterized by two essential properties; its relation to energy and its composition from fundamental structural units of mass. Since no study has been developed in such a way as to connect these two properties one can wonder how such a combination is possible. This presentation proposes a comprehensive theoretical model that systematically describes the processes underlying the formation and composition of mass, starting from its most elementary forms going further to increasingly complex configurations. The model is structured into two interrelated parts. The first examines the physics proceeding through which mass receives its physical formation, emphasizing the role of energy and fundamental interactions in the formation of point units of mass. The second part analyses the processes through which these simple mass units interact, leading to the synthesis of larger and more complex forms of mass. By combining these two perspectives, the model provides a unified framework for understanding mass as both an energetic and compositional entity. Finally, the presentation highlights the key differentiation between this approach and existing models and discusses its potential for advancing theoretical studies of mass.
