Unification of the Strong Interactions and Gravitation

This technical book introduces an extension to our Theory of Everything in which we unify the Strong Interaction and Gravitation sectors. The basic rationale for this unification is the simple fact that the Strong Interactions and General Relativity are the only interactions without broken symmetry, and the closeness of the strength of the Strong Interaction and Gravitation when properly viewed. This higher derivative theory yields quark (color) confinement explicitly with a linear potential. It is consistent with the Charmonium spectrum potential of the Cornell group. The gravitation sector yields the usual Newtonian potential plus two very massive gravitons (of mass 0.119/sqrt(G) and 0.152/sqrt(G) where G is Newton's constant) that modify the extreme short distance (Planck length distance) behavior of gravity. Gravity is initially complex in this unification. The introduction of scalar (Higgs) bosons enables us to define U(4) Reality group transformations to reduce complex General Relativity to the real General Relativity that we observe in Nature. The unified theory directly generates a complex 16-dimensional space (using a vierbein formalism) that we have previously called the Megaverse. Thus our previous studies of the Megaverse, the home of universes, are further supported.
