Known Facts:
Case One: Material things may reduce to photons. An electron and a positron reduce to photons when their fields interfere. This would necessarily happen if photons that comprise them simply popped out of their patterns.

Case Two: All matter can become photons. There is nothing known that cannot reduce to photons of energy. There is not some basic solid something left that can't be reduced. This would necessarily be the case if all things were made of photons.

Case Three: Nothing moves faster than light. Light speed is constant and all of nature is made of light. So nothing in nature can move faster than the constant speed of the things that it is made of.

Case Four: Moving objects contract. Massive objects contract in the direction of motion in accord with the Lorentz Transformations. Imagine a ball of photons all swarming around in a pattern, each moving at the speed of light. The ball must squeeze together some in the direction of motion since each photon is already going as fast as it can possibly go. This would necessarily and naturally be the case if massive objects were made of photons. Alternatively, we must speculate about laws of nature that manhandle time and space when anything moves in them. The alternative, of course, violates Occam's Razor.

Case Five: Time slows for a moving object. Time dilation is a natural consequence of the photon construct of nature. The repetition rate of patterns in Atoms must slow when atoms move. This is because the overall distance a photon must move to remain in the pattern is greater when the containing object is moving. Since the photon is already moving at the speed of light and can't move any faster, more time is required to complete the pattern.

Case Six: Many unproven theories contradict. A photon-only construct of nature is very restrictive. It prohibits most established theories including Quantum Theory and the Big Bang theory. All the theories that contradict violate principals of philosophy including Occum's Razor. That's why we say that Quantum Theory is philosophically unsound at its foundation.

Case Seven: No contraction perpendicular to direction of movement. A ball of photons, as in case five above, would not need to squeeze together in the direction perpendicular to movement to remain in the pattern. This is just as is predicted by the Lorentz transformations.

Case Eight: The electron has no solid core. All attempts to measure a size for an electron that is smaller than its classic electron diameter have shown that there is nothing there. This indicates that an electron only exists at its electromagnetic diameter. This would naturally and necessarily be the case if the electron were a one-photon particle. There is no philosophically sound alternative.

Case Nine: Particles are created out of changing EM fields. Downstream of electron-positron collisions in particle accelerators we find that all basic nuclear particles come out of the collision. Nothing but electrons and positrons went in; all nuclear particles may come out. This would naturally and necessarily be the case if nuclear particles are created out of electromagnetic fields. The greater the energy of collision, the more massive may be the created particles. The particles do not come out of surrounding nuclei; the particles are created out of the energy of the collision.

Case Ten: Diverse short-lived particles. All kinds of massive short-lived particles show up downstream of collisions in particle accelerators. Any manor of loops may occur; only the stable ones survive; the remaining ones have nothing to do with the make-up of matter except to show that they can actually exist for a short period of time. This is naturally and necessarily what must happen in a photon only universe.

Case Eleven: The Uncertainty Phenomena is a natural consequence of the photon construct of matter as explained by the target of the link. Resonance depends upon the phase relationship between an absorbing target and approaching photon. The approaching photon will bypass an out-of-phase target for an in-phase target even when the in-phase target is more distant.

Case Twelve: Quantum Phenomena is a consequence of the photon construct of the universe. Single photons exist as two moving points of electric and magnetic saturation. Saturation amplitude is a constant. That constant amplitude shows up as quanta.

Case Thirteen: Photon's exist as saturated points. The equation for the energy content of a photon does not contain electric and magnetic amplitude as variables. Those amplitudes must therefore be constants.

Case Fourteen: Electron's exhibit spin one-half characteristic. Electrons behave as though they are composed of two sub-particles spinning on a common radius at the speed of light. Attempts to find these sub-particles produces photons.

Case Fifteen: Hadron spectra suggests a shell construct. Dr. Robert Hofstadter used the particle accelerator at Stanford University to collect hadron spectra from colliding nuclear particles. Dr. Hofstadter received the Nobel Prize in 1961 for his discovery of nuclear structure. Dr. Hofstadter indicated that a simple shell structure would produce similar spectra.

Case Sixteen: Electrons show their wave structure. Electrons exhibit a wave structure that is well known. This structure is exactly as it would necessarily be if the electron were composed of one photon trapped in a pattern. The points of maximum amplitude of the electron must radiate the electric field in a sinusoidal pattern as the photon traverses the electron's circumference at the speed of light. This must necessarily give the electron a wave-like appearance that is detected and measured. This is also true of all the elementary particles. Since the proton and neutron are composite particles, their wave structure is more complex than that of an electron just as they must necessarily be if they are composed of multiple photon shells.

Case Seventeen: Binding forces inside nucleons is greater than the electric force. The electromagnetic force radiating from an electron originates at the electron's circumference and diminishes as the square of distance. Smaller diameter shells must radiate force that is stronger. But, since this stronger force must also diminish as the square of distance, it must measure exactly one electron charge at the larger radius of an electron.

Case Eighteen: The electric force seen radiating from a proton is exactly equal but opposite to one electron worth of force This is exactly as it must be if the outer shell of the proton follows the size-to-mass ratio of the Square of the Shells Rule. The smaller bend radius creates a stronger field. When seen at any distance away that is greater than the electron's radius, this stronger field, diminished by distance, must equal the strength of the electron. The greater force can only be seen at distances less than the electron's electromagnetic radius. This is just exactly as it must necessarily be if protons and electrons are made of photons that are trapped in patterns.

Case Nineteen: Massive particles have the property of inertia. The electromagnetic wave as described by Maxwell's equations contain no mechanism to spontaneously change its frequency. As a result, photon frequency is stable. To increase frequency, energy must be added. To decrease frequency, energy must be taken away. If particles of mass were made of photons, we would expect this stability of frequency to remain with the photon in its new form. We do see that. It is the property of inertia. This is just exactly as it must necessarily be if matter is comprised of photons alone.

Case Twenty: The Fine Structure Constant in nature is related to the electrical charge amplitude of an electron. In a photon-only universe this is the ratio of the electrical charge amplitude of an electron to the bend radius of the path of the photon that comprises the electron.

Case Twenty One: Strong Nuclear Dynamics are consistent with an electromagnetic construct of the proton. The strong nuclear force binds protons together to form atoms. The dynamics of this strong force shows that it increases in amplitude with distance for a short distance then disappears altogether. The dynamic happens because inner proton shells are trapped inside the outer shells. To separate, inner shells must pass through like charges on the inside of the outer shells.

Case Twenty Two: The Cosmic Background Radiation occupies a special inertial frame. It is the same throughout the universe. We can detect this inertial frame by noting that its temperature is the same in all directions. Our earth moves through this background at the rate of about five hundred miles per second.

Case Twenty Three: Photons create gravity and gravitate. As far as anyone knows, there is only one kind of gravity. It makes sense then that photons would be the only source of this single kind of gravity.

Case Twenty Four: A new powerful source of energy may be obtained by stripping the outside shell from a proton. The two inside shells then are unstable and decompose into gamma radiation. This might be accomplished by firing protons into highly charged electrical barriers. The right kind of barrier structure should strip the outer shells.
