The article presents a new theoretical model that explores the internal structure of quarks through a hydrodynamic approach. The author proposes viewing quarks as vortices formed in a quantum superfluid medium during the Quark Epoch following the Big Bang. This approach challenges the traditional perception of quarks as point-like particles without internal structure and offers a new interpretation of their properties, such as mass, charge, spin, and interactions. The model describes quarks as irrotational circular vortices in a frictionless medium, using principles of fluid dynamics to calculate parameters like charge radius, mass, and density. The results of these calculations align with known experimental data, providing support for the proposed model.
The article also examines the implications of the vortex model on the stability of quarks within protons and neutrons, describing how quark-antiquark pairs (mesons) and three-quark structures (baryons) can be understood as interactions between vortices. The model suggests that the strong force binding quarks together is mediated by gluons operating in the quantum superfluid medium. Additionally, the paper offers new predictions regarding quark properties, including charge radius and density, which are consistent with experimental observations and current understandings in particle physics. This approach provides a novel conceptual framework for understanding the fundamental structure of matter and the interactions within it.
