    I looked a little more closely at the paper and I’m no theoretical physicist but some of this looks pretty dubious on the surface. I don’t know but it might just be nonsense.

    For example:

    The masses of electrons, muons, and tau can be explained by the different curvatures of universe, galaxy, and solar system, respectively.

    Also, a search for some of the authors reveals that they publish on what seems like an odd range of topics, from materials science, through medicine and machine learning, to theoretical physics:

      Yeah, that sounds like numerology. All three of those things are the same vague piles of dust, as far as fundamental physics is concerned.
