  1. Consider the following:
    ALL matter is made up of quarks, electrons and interacting electromagnetic energy, including a very complex human being with a very complex physical brain.

    Now also, an even non-functional outhouse in the woods is also made up of quarks, electrons and interacting electromagnetic energy.

    Why is it that a very complex being with a very complex brain can naturally come about and yet a much more simple even non-functional outhouse can't come about? Why isn't there a DNA for an outhouse?

    If we had imaginary boxes, one filled with the different quarks, one filled with electrons, and one filled with all the different electromagnetic radiation energy frequencies, (with all the necessary dividers of course), why is it that a very complex structure can be naturally built and yet a much more simple structure can't be built, or at least that we can discern. Maybe somewhere in this universe there is a DNA of an outhouse that grows to be fully functional.

    I propose that we set out into the vast universe looking for that outhouse in the woods that naturally came about. 😀

  2. Consider the following:
    The heart in a human supposedly takes the place of one of the lobes of one of the lungs. Now, if we can come up with a device, (via natural DNA or man-made technology), that could convert CO2 into C and O2, and put it in place of one of the lobes of the other lung, or find somewhere else in the body to put it and leave the other lung alone, and maybe the C gets routed to the stomach and the O2 back into the bloodstream, would it be possible to create an entity that could never be suffocated or be drowned? Sure, quarks, electrons and energy would still be needed to the entity to grow and to replace those items that left the body, but would it be possible to do?

    And then consider also, if astronauts had this done, they would be better able to survive in outer space and on planets and moons with little or no oxygen. Of which, if species do not get off of this Earth and out of this solar system, we are all going to die one day from something and go extinct. Life itself would all be ultimately meaningless in the grand scheme of things. So, why not at least try it? Think also of the Earthly applications for the military, fire fighters, etc. A hybrid next generation human.

  3. Here is a copy and paste of my latest TOE idea along with a test for what I believe 'gravity' truly is:

    Revised TOE: 3/25/2017a.
    My Current TOE:

    THE SETUP:
    1. Modern science currently recognizes four forces of nature: The strong nuclear force, the weak nuclear force, gravity, and electromagnetism.
    2. In school we are taught that with magnetism, opposite polarities attract and like polarities repel. But inside the arc of a large horseshoe magnet it's the other way around, like polarities attract and opposite polarities repel. (I have proved this to myself with magnets and anybody with a large horseshoe magnet and two smaller bar magnets can easily prove this to yourself too. It occurs at the outer end of the inner arc of the horseshoe magnet.).
    3. Charged particles have an associated magnetic field with them.
    4. Protons and electrons are charged particles and have their associated magnetic fields with them.
    5. Photons also have both an electric and a magnetic component to them.

    FOUR FORCES OF NATURE DOWN INTO TWO:
    6. When an electron is in close proximity to the nucleus, it would basically generate a 360 degree spherical magnetic field.
    7. Like charged protons would stick together inside of this magnetic field, while simultaneously repelling opposite charged electrons inside this magnetic field, while simultaneously attracting the opposite charged electrons across the inner portion of the electron's moving magnetic field.
    8. There are probably no such thing as "gluons" in actual reality.
    9. The strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force are probably derivatives of the electro-magnetic field interactions between electrons and protons.
    10. The nucleus is probably an electro-magnetic field boundary.
    11. Quarks also supposedly have a charge to them and then would also most likely have electro-magnetic fields associated with them, possibly a different arrangement for each of the six different type of quarks.
    12. The interactions between the quarks EM forces are how and why protons and neutrons formulate as well as how and why protons and neutrons stay inside of the nucleus and do not just pass through as neutrinos do.

    THE GEM FORCE INTERACTIONS AND QUANTA:
    13. Personally, I currently believe that the directional force in photons is "gravity". It's the force that makes the sine wave of EM energy go from a wide (maximum extension) to a point (minimum extension) of a moving photon and acts 90 degrees to the EM forces which act 90 degrees to each other. When the EM gets to maximum extension, "gravity" flips and EM goes to minimum, then "gravity" flips and goes back to maximum, etc, etc. A stationary photon would pulse from it's maximum extension to a point possibly even too small to detect, then back to maximum, etc, etc.
    14. I also believe that a pulsating, swirling singularity (which is basically a pulsating, swirling 'gem' photon) is the energy unit in this universe.
    15. When these pulsating, swirling energy units interact with other energy units, they tangle together and can interlock at times. Various shapes (strings, spheres, whatever) might be formed, which then create sub-atomic material, atoms, molecules, and everything in existence in this universe.
    16. When the energy units unite and interlock together they would tend to stabilize and vibrate.
    17. I believe there is probably a Photonic Theory Of The Atomic Structure.
    18. Everything is basically "light" (photons) in a universe entirely filled with "light" (photons).

    THE MAGNETIC FORCE SPECIFICALLY:
    19. When the electron with it's associated magnetic field goes around the proton with it's associated magnetic field, internal and external energy oscillations are set up.
    20. When more than one atom is involved, and these energy frequencies align, they add together, specifically the magnetic field frequency.
    21. I currently believe that this is where a line of flux originates from, aligned magnetic field frequencies.

    NOTES:
    22. The Earth can be looked at as being a massive singular interacting photon with it's magnetic field, electrical surface field, and gravity, all three photonic forces all being 90 degrees from each other.
    23. The flat spiral galaxy can be looked at as being a massive singular interacting photon with it's magnetic fields on each side of the plane of matter, the electrical field along the plane of matter, and gravity being directed towards the galactic center's black hole where the gravitational forces would meet, all three photonic forces all being 90 degrees from each other.
    24. As below in the singularity, as above in the galaxy and probably universe as well.
    25. I believe there are only two forces of nature, Gravity and EM, (GEM). Due to the stability of the GEM with the energy unit, this is also why the forces of nature haven't evolved by now. Of which with the current theory of understanding, how come the forces of nature haven't evolved by now since the original conditions acting upon the singularity aren't acting upon them like they originally were, billions of years have supposedly elapsed, in a universe that continues to expand and cool, with energy that could not be created nor destroyed would be getting less and less dense? My theory would seem to make more sense if in fact it is really true. I really wonder if it is in fact really true.
    26. And the universe would be expanding due to these pulsating and interacting energy units and would also allow galaxies to collide, of which, how could galaxies ever collide if they are all speeding away from each other like is currently taught?

    DISCLAIMER:
    27. As I as well as all of humanity truly do not know what we do not know, the above certainly could be wrong. It would have to be proved or disproved to know for more certainty.

    ________________________________________________________

    Here is the test for the 'gravity' portion of my TOE idea. I do not have the necessary resources to do the test but maybe you or someone else reading this does, will do the test, then tell the world what is found out either way.

    a. Imagine a 12 hour clock.
    b. Put a magnetic field across from the 3 to 9 o'clock positions.
    c. Put an electric field across from the 6 to 12 o'clock positions.
    (The magnetic field and electric field would be 90 degrees to each other and should be polarized so as to complement each other.)
    d. Shoot a high powered laser through the center of the clock at 90 degrees to the em fields.
    e. Do this with the em fields on and off.
    (The em fields could be varied in size, strength, density and depth. The intent would be to energy frequency match the laser and em fields for optimal results.)
    f. Look for any gravitational / anti-gravitational effects.
    (Including the utilization of ferro cells so as to be able to actually see the energy field movements.)

    (An alternative to the above would be to shoot 3 high powered lasers, or a single high powered laser split into 3 beams, each adjustable to achieve the above set up, all focused upon a single point in space.)

    'If' effects are noted, 'then' further research could be done.
    'If' effects are not noted, 'then' my latest TOE idea is wrong. But still, we would know what 'gravity' was not, which is still something in the scientific world. Science still wins either way and moves forward.

  4. Despite all its predictions the great math and ingenuity of QM (and by the way the reasons for its persistence) it has held back physics for over a century. It wont "line-up" with reality no matter what clever inventions we add to it, for it is Fundamentally flawed.

  5. A muon decays into "an electron and some neutrino's", but a muon is about 200 times the mass of an electron. Then either the neutrino's are very heavy (which I thought they absolutely weren't), or there must be an awful lot of light neutrino's being produced (which contradicts the "some"), or quite some energy is being released (E=mc2 where m would be 199*the mass of an electron). Right?

  6. I am eager for someone to debunk this theory as I don't believe myself worthy to have such insights:

    I don't think the force we term "gravity" is a separate entity to either relativity or quantum mechanics, I think it is a result of the contraction effect that mass has on it, mass given to up and down quarks by the higgs field. The "matter", "forces" and "energy" we are created from and experience are merely errors and fluctuations in the unfathomable scale (therefore infinitely likely probability) of the fields that in turn cause them to "cross" and "intersect" (I'm imagining the images of something similar to the plasma filled magnetic loops that occur and cross on the surface of our sun), resulting in a phenomena we call "matter". My hypothesis on the reason we don't immediately fly back apart due to natural correction of these errors in the field, is because we exist in an elongated perception of the time phenomena of the space-time fields.
    I also think that neutrinos are the ultimate form of high-entropy for the universe to create a uniform low-energy state, all quarks eventually ceasing to be created by the soothing effect neutrinos have on all "fields".
    I believe a conclusion could also be drawn that black holes are, in fact, areas where all fields premating the "universe" are synchronised and uniform, therefore unknown and incomprehensible.

    Maybe…….

  7. If the muon decays into a electron and neutrinos, how is it fundamental. Just curious, I want to go into particle and quantum physics so knowing these things are helpful.

  8. …isn't it marvelously silly that the Z-boson particle decays into electron-positron pairs, or, neutrinos, or gamma-rays, or quarks, autc., but are they comprised, of quarks, etc., no…, I think 'quarks' are better explained as subnuclear mass-energy component-eigenvalues…
    …[04:22] so, 'heavy-up-quarks are charms, and heavy-down-quarks are stranges'…

  9. [10:32] 'hokum'—electrons have mass because they are energy convolved on itself, and, the momentum equation shows force imparts energy as a statistic-integration of wave-shifting (there's no Higgs impartation in that—unless rather, the Higgs, assigns, the mass-values, to particles… or the vacuum speed of light to photons… or else converts potential to kinetic)…
