Can Gravity Produce Elementary Particles?
First I postulated Spin Inversion Symmetry (SIS). It says every elementary particle in the Standard Model (except for the Higgs) of spin s has a partner of spin 1/s. It also applies to the hypothetical Graviton.
Then I wanted to model a spin 1/2 elementary particle with an everyday object. After a bit of thought I decided on a Mobius strip (strip of paper joined after applying 1 half turn). I figured 1 half turn = spin 1/2.
Then I made a strip with 4 half turns and discovered something elegant.. it will naturally "flip" into a double thickness Mobius strip.
In other words a strip with 4 half turns (spin 2) naturally flips into a strip with 1 half turn (spin 1/2).
That's a Boson to Fermion transition. Think of gravity (a Boson spin 2 structure) "condensing" into spin 1/2 Fermions.
And note that all Fermions in the Standard Model are spin 1/2.
