Abstract

In this paper, we take the first steps of simplifying particles into a linear function that organizes particles based on their particle number, similar to how atoms are arranged by atomic number. This repeats the method that was used to organize atomic elements and create the Periodic Table of Elements in the 1800s. Now, the same process can be used for subatomic particles. The solution to linearize particles into a predictable function is not as simple as atomic elements, but it does exist. As with everything in physics, mathematics describes the universe in which we live and the same holds true for subatomic particles. We will introduce an equation that fits particles into a function that enables the prediction of future particle energies. It also predicts the exact mass of the elusive neutrino. Particles are first organized by particle numbers, similar to atomic numbers in the Periodic Table of Elements, and then charted against their known CODATA energy levels. The results will show similarities between particles and atomic elements – numbers where both are known to be more stable than their counterparts.
