Hi NG
I have some ideas about particles as addition to my strange modell.
If you describe a particle as excitation and the em-field as excitation of
the same structure, then why do particles repell from each other?
The hole idea is smooth and continuus, but where do quanta come from? Its
mainly the same answer.
Particles are modelled as patterns that stay stable in time or, as
equivalent, stay at rest in space. But particles are not modelled as
continuus in time. The slight difference is, that the pattern stays stable
but not the individual particle.
Particles in this picture pass right through each other like em-waves.
(Those excitations are mainly the same, but in different directions.)
The pattern stays stables is illustrating the fact, that particles bounce
off each other. It is looking like they repell, but since the are not
treated as timely continuus it not the same entity that is repelled.
But somehow particles excist and are able to interact. They can interact
with each other and with fields. There is a certain rule for this
interaction. Its the all or nothing principle of qm. The energy of an entity
has to match to an entity that is taking that energy exactly. In this
picture of rotation, two entities exchanging energy need at least the same
rotation position, what makes exchange only possible after one full round.
So if rotation position is important, only after some numbers of rotation
its possible to interchange. The rotations build a screw if looked at in
time direction. In this picture the distance for a full rotation is a
constant.
