Physical realism

Quantum realism

Matter. Matter is made of fundamental particles, so:

a. Space is nothing, as there is no null particle

b. Light is a wavy particle with no mass or charge

c. Masscomes from the particle substance

d. Charge is a property unrelated to mass

e. Anti-matter is matter with the same mass but opposite charge, that exists for an unknown reason

f. Our universe was built from a Lego-set of the standard model’s 62 fundamental particles

Matter. Matter is generated by quantum processing, so:

a. Space is null process, not nothing

b. Light is that null process distributed

c. Mass is the net processing at a network point

d. Charge is the net processing remainder

e. Anti-matter is when the processing of matter runs in reverse, so it has the same mass but opposite charge

f. Our universe evolved from quantum waves that combine to create everything we see

Electron. Is a fundamental matter particle that:

a. Exists at a point with no extent or structure, yet it has mass, charge, and spin

b. Has mass even though it has no extent or substance

c. Has a negative charge because it just does, and this isn’t related to its mass

d. Has an imaginary spin that is half of its total spin, for an unknown reason

e. Moves like light, but is slower for an unknown reason

f. Never collides in an atomic shell, despite being a particle, for an unknown reason

Electron. A head-headextreme photon collision that:

a. Repeatedly overloads all the channels of one axis through a network point, so it has a structure

b. Has mass as the net quantum processing that repeats

c. Has a negative charge because negative processing is left-over after a head-head photon overload

d. Really spins in quantum space, but it takes two turns to rotate it

e. Moves like light on two dimensions, not three

f. Never collides because it is entirely light-like in a two-dimensional atomic shell

Neutrino. A fundamental matter particle that:

a. Exists at a point with no extent or structure, yet it has mass, charge, and spin

b. Has a tiny mass that varies unpredictably, despite its expected zero mass

c. Always has zero charge, despite having a tiny mass

d. Always spins left-handed, for an unknown reason, which contradicts the spatial symmetry of the universe

e. Is a lepton like an electron because it just is, for no structural reason

Neutrino. A head-tail extreme photon collision that:

a. Repeatedly overloads all the channels of one axis through a network point, so it has a structure

b. Has a tiny mass as its heads and tails don’t quite cancel due to the asynchrony of the quantum network

c. Always has zero charge as its remainder is always zero

d. Always spins left-handed because in a matter universe, all photons spin left

e. Is a lepton like an electron because it is the same one-axis collision structure with a different phase

Quark. A fundamental matter particle that:

a. Is again a structureless point with no dimensions

b. Has two types, up and down, with different masses and charges, for an unknown reason

c. Is never observed alone, for an unknown reason, but can exist in groups

d. Has unexpected one-third charges for some reason

Quark. A three-axis extreme photon collision that:

a. Repeatedly overloads all the channels of a plane

b. Has two viable collision phases: head-tail-tail (up) and head-head-tail (down), that produce mass and charge

c. This collision doesn’t fill the channels of a plane, so it isn’t stable alone, but it can survive in groups

d. A three-axis collision produces one-third remainders

Many fields. All the forces of nature come from invisible fields in space that invoke virtual particles to do their work:

a. Gravity. Acts at a distance by creating virtual gravitons, yet there is no evidence at all that they exist

b. Electromagnetism. Acts in photon units because the electromagnetic field creates virtual photons

c. Strong force. Quarks bind into protons and neutrons by virtual gluons whose red, green and blue color chargescancel to clear, so massless gluons create the proton’s extra mass in an unknown way

d. Weak force. Neutrons turn into protons when a weak field creates massive virtual particles called W bosons, but they never turn protons into neutrons for an unknown reason, except in stars

e. The Higgs. The virtual particle that explains the mass of the virtual particles that explain the weak force

f. Virtual particles. Virtual particles cause all effects and create most of the mass we see around us

One field. All the forces of nature come from processes that spread and interact on the quantum network:

a. Gravity. The processing of matter spreads to create a gradient that affects other matter (next chapter)

b. Electromagnetism. Acts in photon units because the photon is the basic process of the quantum network

c. Strong force. Quarks bind into protons and neutrons when they share photonsin atriangle structure where their axes orientate in complementary ways, and the increased interference creates the proton’s extra mass

d. Weak force. Neutrons turn into protons when a neutrino flips a set of photon heads into tails, but to do the reverse, to turn a proton into a neutron, requires an electron collision, which only occurs in stars

e. The Higgs. The imaginary cause invoked to explain another imaginary cause that explains an effect

f. Virtual particles. Virtual particles are imaginary agents that don’t exist at all

Our universeof matter was built from fundamental particles as a house is built from bricks

a. Atoms. Electron particles with mass that orbit a nucleus should collapse or collide, but they never do

b. Electron shells. Electron shells based on data-fitted quantum numbers must be tweaked to predict the rows of the periodic table

c. Atomic nuclei. That protons and neutrons sit in the atomic nucleus like fruits in a bowl doesn’t explain why neutrons are needed at all

d. Family generations. There are two higher forms of the basic particles then no more, and they are much heavier, for an unknown reason

e. Dark matter. A halo of unknown matter around the center of a galaxy that is over 85% of its mass

f. Dark energy. Is over two-thirds of the energy of the universe, but no particle can explain it

Our universeof matter evolved from light by trying all the options to discover what is stable

a. Atoms. Electron waves find different harmonics and shell distances to vibrate in, so they don’t interfere

b. Electron shells. Electron shells based on the wave harmonics that can occupy a sphere surface predict the rows of the periodic table with no tweaks

c. Atomic nuclei. That protons and neutrons form an atom nucleus as a single closed string requires neutron buffers between the protons

d. Family generations. The higher forms of basic entities occupy the extra dimensions of space, so only two are possible, and their mass increases by interference

e. Dark matter. The halo of light orbiting a galaxy black hole will produce matter as a constant net processing

f. Dark energy. Is generated by the ongoing creation of new space that absorbs energy for its first cycle

We are the accidental result of a universal machine that is going nowhere

We are the natural result of an evolving universe that is becoming what it can
