Why I suspect
The Standard Magical Model

( 1 ) Mass-Energy equivalence.

The equations that relate mass and energy demand that all mass may be reduced solely to electromagnetic energy. Experience shows that this is true just as the equations demand. There has never been an observation of anything in this universe that even hints that this may not be the case.

Some people believe that this comes about by some sort of magical transformation. I suspect that high energy electromagnetic fields simply get trapped in resonant patterns to form mass. When forced out of its patterns the energy continues on its way naturally. No magical transformation is necessary.

( 2 ) Relativity phenomena.

All massive objects experience distortions of physical shape and time when they move. Some people believe this is the result of magical distortions in space-time caused by the presence of massive objects. I suspect that the distortions are solely in the massive objects. The distortion is the natural result of the construct of the massive objects.

These distortions are exactly those that would be experienced if mass were comprised solely of electromagnetic fields. These fields naturally move at the invariant speed of light. In order for mass to experience these distortions that we observe, space and time must exist in the natural classic sense. All of relativity is the result of the distortions of mass as it moves. No distortion of space and time is necessary.

The CBR is at rest in space. (Cosmic Background Radiation) We observe Doppler distortions in the CBR that show our solar system moving through it at a rate of about 500 miles per second.

( 3 ) Electron-Positron collider experiments.

The electron and positron are the most simple of the elementary particles. They are complete in themselves; not composites of other particles. Results of experiments show that these two particles can and do produce all the other particles when forced to collide at very high speed. All the components of the hydrogen atom come out of the collisions. The collisions also produce many short-lived massive particles. Some people believe that these short-lived massive particles are key to the construct of mass.

I suspect that the electromagnetic energy generated in electron-positron collisions simply gets caught up in resonant patterns. Most of the generated short-lived particles have little to do with the construct of mass. The patterns produced are the same as those that occur naturally when electrons and positrons collide in space.

At one certain frequency, that of the electron's photon (.510 MeV), the patterns are stable. At all other frequencies, the energy quickly straightens its path and continues naturally on its way.

Some of the short-lived particles can be stable when combined with other short-lived particles. There are four energy levels at which this can happen. The energy levels are 913.34, 21.60, 3.32, 1.30, MeV. The sum of the three most energetic of these is 938.26, the energy content of the proton. The sum of all four is 939.57, the energy content of the neutron.
