In a recent online lecture it was said there is now known releationship between the masses of quarks. My online search seemed to back this up.
My comparison suggests:
Mcharm ≈ Mtop * fine
Mup ≈ Mcharm * fine / 4
Mstrange ≈ Mbottom * fine * 3
Mdown ≈ Mstrange * fine * 7 (corrected for original post)
where fine is the fine structure constant 0.00729735257
these are quite accurate, but are necessarily approximations due to the accuracy of measurement of the quarks with smaller masses
if Mtop = 173.34 GeV
then Mcharm = 1264.92 MeV
and Mup = 2.3076 MeV
if Mbottom = 4.3 GeV
then Mstrange = 94.14 MeV
and Mdown = 4.81 MeV
the bottom - strange - down relationships are my best fit having spotted the much clearer top - charm - up relationships
any ideas as to why they might be related in this way?
