Abstract: Using Newton’s universal gravitational law but with gravitational instead of rest masses, and the de Broglie wavelength equation, we show by computing from first principles their mass that the W+ and W− bosons correspond to relativistic e+−νe and e−−νe rotating pairs. This appears consistent with the fact that W+ and W− bosons are known to decay to e+−νe and e−−νe couples, respectively.
