The standard model of quarks, leptons and electroweak and colour interactions, which brought a new and elegant understanding into physics of elementary particles and fields, is built on phenomenological recognitions. Theoreticians try to explain the assumptions of the standard model by groups containing as subgroups the groups used to describe so far observed charges. Also families are tried to be explained in a similar way, while equations of motion are chosen to manifest these symmetries.
The spin-charge-family theory starts in d= (13+1) with a simple action for spinors (fermions), which carries only two kinds of spins and for the corresponding gravity of two kinds of spin connection fields. One kind of spins manifests in (3+1) the spin and all the charges of quarks and leptons as assumed by the standard model, while the corresponding spin connections explain the origin and properties of all the known gauge fields. The second kind of spins explains the appearance of families. Spin connections of both origins describe the Higgs scalar and Yukawa couplings.
The spin-charge-family theory* - offering the explanation for the appearance of all the properties of quarks and leptons and for the existing vector and scalar fields – explains also the origin of the dark matter and the matter-antimatter asymmetry in our universe and predicts the fourth family to be measured at the LHC as well as new scalar fields.
