Processes for describing and explaining all elements of the
universe including photons, electrons, protons, neutrons, atomic nuclei, heat, temperature,
magnetism and gravity. According to this model, the entire
universe and everything in it from photons to electrons to protons to galaxies is comprised of nothing but a
single type of elementary charged point particle. I call these “pointicles”, “tronnies”. A tronnie has no
mass and no volume but it has a charge equal to +e or −e (i.e., about +1.6×10−19
coulomb or about −1.6×10−19
coulomb). Also, according to this model the only forces in the
universe are
Coulomb forces produced by these tronnies. Every tronnie possesses a
Coulomb force field resulting from its charge that travels out spherically from the tronnie's position at the
speed of light. Each tronnie is repelled by the force fields of tronnies with like charges and attracted by the force fields of tronnies with opposite charges. Tronnies tend to pair up with a plus tronnie and a minus tronnie in relatively stable configurations that I call “entrons”. It is comprised of one plus tronnie and one minus tronnie with each tronnie of the entron traveling in circles faster than the
speed of light (typically πc / 2, in the entron's
reference frame). An entron is the basic energy
quantum in the universe. Entrons may be intergral parts of particles such as protons, atoms, molecules and high-energy electrons. Entrons trapped in matter represent the matter's
heat energy. The circling tronnies provide the energy of the
photon, hc / λ, where h is Planck's constant and λ is the
photon's
wavelength which is related to the entron's
diameter, d′, by λ=320d′. In my preferred
photon model each photon is comprised of one entron that orbits in a circle of
diameter λ / 2 at 1.57c in the photon's
reference frame, with the photon (and its
reference frame) traveling forward at a speed of c.
