elementary particles

Elementary particles are particles which cannot be further decomposed into still smaller particles. Examples are electrons, photons and quarks.

Non-locality

Experiments in which entangled particles are measured whilst they are separated by considerable distance have demonstrated beyond all reasonable doubt that quantum behaviour is not limited by the speed of light. The effect of measuring one particle is exhibited by the particle with which it is entangled long before light has had time to travel between them. Experiments have demonstrated that the communication is as good as instantaneous, even when the particles are 400 kilometres apart.

Elementary particles as phenomena

There are a whole lot of observations which lead us to conclude that elementary particles exist, that all the elementary particles that exist conform to the Standard Model, and that the energetic universe is composed entirely of elementary particles. These particles have mass, charge, spin and a rate of decay.

Physics phenomena

The primary phenomena we are concerned with in the domain of physics are very basic: spaceparticles, non-localitygravity,  motion and the fact that symmetry is a good signpost for understanding the universe. For each of these phenomena, QO has an explanation that differs substantially from that of mainstream science.

Key findings: space, particles and motion

Space consists of space quanta: Space, like everything in the universe,  consists of quanta. Space quanta connect to neighboring space quanta, dynamically, so that space behaves as a fluid.  These connections produce a vector geometry.

Space is the 3-surface of a 4-ball: Space is the result of uniform processes and hence has a more or less uniform topology. It has 3 dimensions, no boundaries, and is finite. The simplest topology which fits this bill is the 3-surface of a 4-ball.
