Contributions

Fima Ardianto Putra has made significant contributions to theoretical physics by proposing innovative concepts and frameworks. He introduced the theory of mass-action equivalence M=γ2ℏc2τM = \frac{\gamma^2 \hbar}{c^2 \tau}, extending beyond the traditional Einsteinian energy symmetry through the Relativistic Heisenberg Uncertainty principle. His work on Explicit Symmetry Breaking within the Particle Standard Model due to mass-action equivalence offers a new perspective on particle physics. Additionally, he proposed a 7-dimensional Lorentz Symmetry and introduced a novel mathematical object, the “curvaton,” as a quantized spatial curvature from the Ehrenfest paradox in the Bohr atomic model. Furthermore, he identified a new constant 16α2a0−2=3.0348×1017m−216\alpha^2 a_0^{-2} = 3.0348 \times 10^{17} \text{m}^{-2}, linking electromagnetic fine structure with atomic space curvature.
