On the vital role played by the electron-volt units system in high energy physics and Mach’s principle of “Denkökonomie”

The work highlights within the framework of E. Mach’s “Denkökonomie” the crucial role played by the electron-volt unit system in uncovering terce relationships in the various fundamental interactions. In particular it is shown that a great deal of insight and analytical simplicity is gained from the number coincidence between the E(∞) dimensionless inverse fine structure constant and the mass of a postulated expectation π-meson mπ =(mπ±+mπ0)/2 when measured in Mega-electron-volt. This line of thought could be continued to the k-meson and relate it to the exceptional Lie group of super strings and unification namely E8 E8. We show further that mπ could be viewed as a two quark building block relating the old Yukawa theory to an extended quark model based on E-infinity Cantorian spacetime.
