Believe Nature
When It Describes Itself

Nature behaves as though its most elemental constituent always moves at the constant speed of light in flat space-time. That is a fact. We have known that fact for well over a hundred years. We have developed the scientific laws and equations that describe all the details of exactly how nature must appear to us if it is so comprised. No one has ever seen nature mis-behave. It follows these laws and equations exactly. It presents itself to us in exactly that way.

But there is a huge problem. When we accept that fact, our most closely held beliefs can not be real. If we accept that nature behaves that way and always has behaved that way, the big-bang theory is false; Quantum Mechanics is false; all the magic we like to believe in is false; all our religions are false; we are all just unimportant accidents adrift among the stars with no meaning to our existance at all.

How convenient it is that we have a built-in mechanism that allows us to ignore such overwhelming evidence and go on with ponderable circumstance that contradicts that first-said fact. You would think we just don't believe the fact. But there is no evidence that anyone able to ponder has ever refuted that fact. We accept it; we ignore it; we ignore any mention of it; we ignore any person who does mention it, as H Ziegler found when he mentioned it to Einstein and Planck.

And we ignore another great fact. There are so many details, and nature follows them so exactly, that the chance that nature is not so comprised is vanishingly small. There would need be some great deity so bent upon fooling all of man kind that it would cause all of physical reality to appear exactly as if it is comprised only of some light-speed object and have not one single thing in the universe appear otherwise.

Many scientists are now pondering this and developing new theories that have matter comprised only of light-speed components. Most, like this one, developed new sub-particles and named them various things. But the most likely thing these light-speed components might be is that most common thing we see fly out of particles when they are annihilated. It is the humble photon.

When we describe a photon such that it exists as one negative and one positive point of electric and magnetic saturation within its own electric and magnetic fields, we have the component needed to satisfy that first-said fact of this writing. Such a description does not violate any observation.

There is a way to describe photons such that everything in the universe must necessarily be a natural consequence of photonic interaction. Photons of this flavor agree with experiment and behave in accord with most of the rules of quantum physics but they depart from the most cherished notion of that science and avoid its unreasonable ideas. These photons consist of saturated points of [electric and magnetic] amplitude in fields of [electric and magnetic] force that permeate all the fabric of space.

So begins the Photonic Theory of Everything that we serve out from this web site. The ideas expressed within it are essentially unchanged since 1986 when we first began to suspect that nature might really be the way nature screamed out to us that it was. Nature might really be comprised of electric and magnetic fields and comprised of them alone.
