Edit: The paper is total nonsense. Sorry for wasting people’s time.

If it was plausible this would be bigger news. There’s a claim like this every couple of months and none have held up to scrutiny so far.
I’ll remain sceptic on the claim until the paper is peer reviewed by people who actually know the stuff in it, unlike me.

Seems to be free access, for now
I looked a little more closely at the paper and I’m no theoretical physicist but some of this looks pretty dubious on the surface. I don’t know but it might just be nonsense.
For example:
The masses of electrons, muons, and tau can be explained by the different curvatures of universe, galaxy, and solar system, respectively.
Also, a search for some of the authors reveals that they publish on what seems like an odd range of topics, from materials science, through medicine and machine learning, to theoretical physics:

Planck units are the smallest packets of something, which is called quanta. Planck discovered he could get more accurate measurements if he separated the energy from radiation in small packages, which proved useful for other theories later.
We talking about Grand Unified Theory here?
