As well known rest masses of elementary particles and physical fields appear when temperature of Universe become low enough and symmetry broke. Are there another sources of rest masses that are consequences of other nature of rest masses or it is the only methods for generating rest masses? What will be with massless fields when the laws of symmetry are not exact laws but only are very good approximation and the time is not homogeneous, as it is in the fractal world? In this paper based on the fractal theory of time and space (developed by author earlier) a possible source of rest masses caused by the fractional dimensions (FD) of the time is considered. It gives rest masses (very small) for all particles and fields including gravitational and electromagnetic fields. The estimation of the values of the rest masses gives mg=√ε(tti)-1, mf= √(t0ti)-1 where ti is the necessary time for photons and gravitons with rest masses mph and mg to get the velocity equal the speed of light (in the fractal Universe the moving with any velocities is possible), t0 is the time of existence of Universe. Under some assumption preliminary values of rest masses photons and gravitons are obtained: for a rest mass of photons mf∼ 10-39g, for a rest mass of gravitons mg∼10-43g.
