The reason why the proton is about 1836 times as massive as the electron is 
because the proton in its natural state is comprised of an electron (that has 
captured the neutrino entron portion of a neutrino  photon,which has a mass of 
1.65 X 10-27 kg) plus two positrons.  The nucleus of hydrogen atoms is a little 
more massive because it has captured 8.37 MeV of gamma ray photons which are 
incorporated into the nucleus as neutrino entrons.  Some of these gamma ray 
entrons are released as gamma ray photons in fusion reactions.  The neutrino 
entron is released as a neutrino photon when protons are destroyed by combining 
with anti-protons in Black Holes to provide galactic gravity.  Neutrons are 
very unstable because they are a proton and an electron plus 9.1585 MeV of 
gamma ray entrons.  Some of these gamma ray entrons are releases as gamma ray 
photons when the neutron decays to an electron and a proton.

Why not? No physicist is going to take your theory seriously or even call it a 
theory if you can't calculate with it, if you can't get numbers out of it so it 
can be checked with observation.  Why is the proton 1836 times as massive as 
the electron? Why is the neutron almost the same but not quite, why is it 1842 
times as massive as the electron? Why do independent protons have a half life 
of an infinite number of minutes but independent neutrons have a half life of 
10 minutes 11 seconds?

 

See, JKC knows why the world of physics is described by mathematics - no other 
kind of description is as explicit and predictive.

 

I'm still not convinced that it isn't "out there" though. Anyone who became 
interested in the same mathematical problems would get the same answers, as far 
as I can see, regardless of whether they are living in a universe with protons 
1836 times as massive as electrons, or one made of completely different 
constituents. I want a more convincing answer for why maths kicks back than all 
this vague hand wavy stuff - yes it's explicit and predictive, but why? Why 
does it work?

It still seems unreasonably effective to me.


Maybe it's just a difference of perspective.  Einstein said, "The most 
incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible."  Given 
that it's comprehensible, that it is described by mathematics seems completely 
unsurprising.  So the unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics just derives 
from there being some regularities in the universe - not that it is completely 
regular or lawlike; we pass off a lot of stuff as "randomness" or "geography".  
I had this argument with Vic Stenger when he was writing "The Comprehensible 
Cosmos" because he wanted to say that every 'law' of physics was just a 
realization of physicists insistence that their descriptions of nature must be 
point-of-view invariant.  And indeed it made a very nice summary of modern 
physics.  But I pointed out that it was a fairly flexible formula because you 
had to chose what variable was to be invariant and under what transformation.  
So maybe the existence of such variables and formula is "unreasonable" - or 
maybe it's implied by some combination of Bruno's UD and anthropic selection.
