BTW – for all of Don Hotson’s fans on vortex, and there are many… The epo or BEC is based on Dirac’s equation and theories – as is all of Hotson’s “interpretation of Dirac” and this field consists entirely of massless electrons and massless positrons. Wow, think of how well this fits into

This thread on Weyl fermions, so-called “massless electrons” seems to be gathering a bit of traction on the internet. The WF particle or quasi-particle, which is essentially a quantum of negative charge (somewhat reminiscent of Ken Shoulder’s EVO) ostensibly could be captured by protons to

Massless electrons ? Actually we should call them Weyl Fermions (WF) since by definition, the electron has mass and we do not want to ruffle too many feathers. And a quick googling indicates high probability that WF have been verified by several groups. Are your massless electrons related to

In a quick search to see if there are known candidates for Weyl semimetals which also are known to be contaminants of palladium in small quantities, one candidate has turned up - Pr2Ir2O7. In fact iridium is commonly found with palladium ore. Praseodymium is a rare earth element that also has a

http://arxiv.org/pdf/1412.6543.pdf The chiral magnetic effect is the generation of electric current induced by chirality imbalance in the presence of magnetic field. It is a macroscopic manifestation of the quantum anomaly1,2 in relativistic field theory of chiral fermions (massless spin 1/2

"zirconium pentatelluride,ZrTe5, that provides strong evidence for the chiral magnetic effect:. My research is all based on chirality of coils that produce fundamentally different "currents". This is no doubt closely related to my work! On Tue, Aug 30, 2016 at 1:23 PM, John Berry

Re: [Vo]:Article: Electrons with no mass acquire a mass in the presence of a high magnetic field

"This is because in ZrTe5 the electrons responsible for the current have no mass." That itself sounds like a dramatic claim, electrons with no mass? I am able to produce a current of something that I believe is like an electron albeit not propperly physical, and I believe it gains something by
