Two problems came up during first reading:
1) Conflict with observations-- e-neutrino mass too high.
2) Lack of economy. He chides the SM for its plethora of particles, then creates 700+ new ones himself, defining many of their fundamental properties as unobservable. Where's the utility? "I predict you won't find this" is easily confirmed. What I didn't see was any useful predictions about observables.
This is a Dark Preon model, whose lack of economy is exacerbated by three new 'fundamental' forces. Even if it were in some sense true, it isn't useful. There are other preon models, founded on fact, in process of development. One of them may pan out, but I wouldn't bet on the dark horse. Duane has some info on these. Don't give up the ship, tho-- old guys like me tend to get more and more opinionated with time; we also tend to discover less. Regards--Steve
