I have no more than a novice level of expertise in this subject but have found it interesting for some years. In the mid 1970’s I had an inspiration based on an assumption that to have mass a particle has to bend all dimensions that makeup spacetime; at the time I was convinced there were only four. The logic was simple as good insights tend to be, if you look at a particle and remove one or more dimensions it doesn’t exist from our four dimensional perspective. Leptons I assumed traveled at the speed of light and had no mass; they behave as if they have mass in photovoltaic applications but the Lorentz transformations indicate their mass would be infinite at their native speed. I proposed that leptons did not exist in the “Time” dimension rendering them weightless, fast, and stable to the point of immortality. I assumed that all particles could be built theoretically from their dimensional qualities if we understood the dimensions in a better way.
