2026-07-072026-07-07http://salesiana.dossiersoluciones.com/handle/123456789/87322A longstanding question that has puzzled Physicists is the so called gauge hierarchy problem, that is why is there such a wide gap between the mass of a Planck particle, $10^{-5}gms$ and the mass of a typical elementary particle $\sim 10^{-25}gms$. We show that the answer to this problem lies in a particular characterization of gravitation. This moreover also provides a picture of a Planck scale underpinning for the entire universe itself.17 pages: Partly based on the author's paper in Found.Phys.Lett.,May, 2005General Physicstext
