On 8 October 2013, the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded jointly to theorists François Englert and Peter Higgs "for the theoretical discovery of a mechanism that contributes to our understanding of the origin of mass of subatomic particles, and which recently was confirmed through the discovery of the predicted fundamental particle, by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at CERN's Large Hadron Collider". By studying the production and decay of the Higgs boson, ATLAS physicists confirmed that the Higgs boson interacts with both bosons and fermions (the latter being particles that make up matter), confirming the prediction by the Standard Model that elementary particles acquire mass via the all-pervasive Higgs field.

In stark contrast, I state as a scientific law that the measure of mass of particles such as an electron, proton, photon or an atom is that of aitheron frequency.

A photon, electron, proton or atom is made up of a basic unit herein called an aitheron. The aitheron is defined as a mass of 7.372496364 x 10^-51 kg, or “737” for short. Its energy is equal in magnitude to Planck’s constant, h under the condition of one second. The 737 mass multiplied by frequency, f, is equal in magnitude to   measurements of mass of say an electron, proton, photon or an atom.

The purpose and goals of the paper are to define mass – Virtual and Real. In doing so the source of lightspeed c and speed of light squared will be explained. I had predicted the graviton mass to be at 10e-58Kg now detected by the LIGO experiment.

Employing ratio and proportion where dimensional homogeneity is maintained on both sides of an empirical equation is the method followed utilizing algebraic computation.

There are important conclusions to be gleaned from experimental evidence provided. Importantly, speed of light is circular motion. Moreover, speed of light squared is the product of two component velocities and not c x c. Wavelength is derived from the radius of an ether toroid. Significantly, I have empirically shown that the frequency of an aitheron to be responsible for the measure of mass with NIST data. The foundation for a structural model of the invisible fabric of space is now created and so several outcomes in technology applications are made possible especially in transmutation, electrochemistry and photochemistry.
