In this model, light has a constant speed because it is passed it on at a constant rate. Light waves move forward because every point is a wave source, so the wave-front advances but the backwards spread cancels out, as Huygens proposed (3.1.2). It is also a processing wave that can restart at any point where it overloads the network, in what we call a physical event.
By the same model, an electron is light trapped at a point in a standing wave, so while light moves constantly and occasionally restarts, matter restarts constantly and doesn’t move, on one or more dimensions. A photon then is like a boat with an engine that moves it forward, but matter is like a boat with two engines that oppose, so it stays in one place. Yet even a stationary boat with active engines spreads ripples around itself, so matter has a distribution just as light does.
Matter then shouldn’t move but it does, and even goes where light can’t. Light from a lamp in a metal box can’t get out but an electron inside an impenetrable Gaussian field can suddenly appear outside it, like a marble in a sealed bottle popping up outside it. Physics calls this quantum tunneling, when matter doesn’t take a path to a destination but instantly arrives there. The electron can’t travel a path through the field around it, so it just teleported out.
How could it do this? Recall that in quantum theory, when a photon reaches a screen, its distribution instantly collapses to a point physical event. A matter point doing the same could then instantly appear anywhere in its distribution, in what we call a teleport. This explains quantum tunneling, as the electron’s distribution can spread beyond an impenetrable field. Note that a photon in a metal box can’t teleport out because its wave front reaches the walls before its distribution spreads beyond it, so it always collapses back inside the box. The same quantum rules apply to matter and light, as both are processing that spreads in diminishing ripples, and can restart anywhere in their distribution, based on its strength at each point.
In summary, light moves by point-to-point transfer and occasionally teleports, but matter only moves by teleport. This explains why light moves inherently but matter doesn’t, but not why the speed of light is constant as matter moves. Why does light from a fast-moving rocket still leave it at the speed of light? Relativity says that matter changes its space, but how could it do that?
