Let’s begin with energy to which we already know that there
is a basic building block. Photons are energy packets that contain a certain
magnitude of energy. A photon is the basic building block of any energy. Photons
of different energy forms contain different magnitudes of energy. The wavelength
of the radiation determines the level of energy in that photon. Well, this shouldn’t
be the case if photons are the basic building blocks that make up energy. If photons
can contain different quanta of energy, then there should be an explanation to
it. And here it is.
Photons are like transparent images. Consider having a
transparent image of a red square. Now consider having a few hundred of those
images; all are transparent. Now, depending on the transparency, you will need
x number of images to align upon each other to make a non transparent red
square image.
If your original images are like 90% transparent then you
will need more images to make a non transparent image than you would with 10 %
transparent images. This is the case with photons. It is not necessarily one
photon that we count as photon. Within the given space needed for a photon, there
can be a number of photons got inside each other. It is like having transparent
images in a 2D space, but photons do share a 3D space. Within a given volume;
that is the least volume of space needed for a photon to exist, there can be a
number of photons.
How much number of photons can co-exist in a space for one
photon? We can calculate that. If we know the minimum unit of mass to exist,
then we will have to calculate how much energy that mass could convert into and
divide that by the energy of a single photon. To doing this, we will need the
minimum unit of mass that can exist and the minimum magnitude of energy a
photon can have.
To begin with these calculations, we have to use some
existing data. We might not be able to measure the least unit of mass or energy
as immediate as that, but we can start calculating and seeing how deep the
rabbit hole goes. We can start calculating to see what the minimum possible
unit of energy or mass is.
Simply, if we consider the particles that we have measured
the mass for; we can then see the differences in mass. The mass of subatomic
particles are known. If we start seeing the least difference of mass between
two particles, then that will be an indication that mass could get up to that
difference.
To make it understandable, may I suggest an example? Let’s
say that we have particles to which we know the masses. Let’s say that there
are particles x, y and z that have masses of 53 units, 48 units and 69 units. The
difference between x and y is 5 units. The difference between y and z is 21
units and the difference between x and z is 16 units. Now, the fact that the
differences are 5, 16 and 21 units means that there is a difference between the
differences. The differences between the differences are 11, 5 and 16. We will
have to calculate and keep going until a situation where the differences are
multiples of the least difference calculated.
If we started up with a different set of mass values and
ended up with the differences of 3, 6 and 9, then we can say that mass should
begin as low as a unit value of 3. Because the difference is 3 and multiples of
3, any mass could be made up of a basic building block that has a mass value of
3 units.
This is already complex; I don’t want to give the mass
values of electrons here. If you understood the concept, then you can start
working with the mass values of known particles. It is not that easy either;
but is no impossible. It is not simple because the mass values are much
deviating. They are not just like 53, 44 and so on. Just for a demonstration,
the masses of an electron and a proton are around 1800 times different. And the
smallest and least weighing particles have masses that are headache for you to
calculate; but still, it could be done.
It is in the same way, the minimum energy for a photon to
exist could be calculated by measuring the difference of the differences
between the energy levels of the photons of different forms of energy. Sound is
not a form of energy but sound can travel faster than light. I will come to
that later.
Now when we come to a point where we have identified the
least amount of energy that has to exist for a photon to exist, and the least
amount of mass that has to exist for a particle with mass to exist, we can then
calculate how many photons could stay in one single space. The photons can
concentrate upon each other until they reach this critical number of photons.
Once the critical number is reached, the photons will turn into the least unit
of mass. They should turn into the least unit of mass. This can be proven by
experiments too.
If you make several beams of light to meet in a single
point, then they will start forming mass; it is as simple as that. Although it
is simple to say, to see the results, you will need hundreds of light beams at
maximum concentrations. LASER, MASER or any other amplified radiation might not
produce the exact results expected. The best candidate is the white light or
daylight. If you can have like a thousand light sources and direct them all
through lenses to focus them all at one single point, then they will hit each
other in the central point; if you had the sources in a circular arrangement. At
once, when the concentration is high enough to meet the maximum density of
light where photons cannot co-exist in the same space, they will start creating
mass. We have technology to carry out this experiment and observe and calculate
the outcome. I simply don’t have the facility to do it but I will be happy to
be at the site where you do it.
The place should be a vacuum. It is best to have the space
covered with material that wouldn’t react to radiation. This is because just
closer enough to forming mass; the light beams will be creating some high
energy radiation as well. And when the mass starts forming, the mass will not
be atoms or subatomic particles but less than that. We just don’t know what
they will do. I think they will add up to the matter around and form radiating
material with little addition of mass. They would not produce subatomic
particle or atoms at this stage. To produce subatomic particles, the mass units
should be formed in abundance like in the big bang. It is not very possible
that we get that in the first experiment. What we will get is that the newly
forming mass will add up to the existing mass.
Now, if that mass adds up to electrons, then it will create
excited electrons because they will tend to move away from the nucleus. If the
mass adds to the protons or the neutrons or any other particle inside the
nucleus, then the atom will become much stable, and less active.
One way to knowing where the mass got added up is to monitor
the radiation of the materials at the facility; especially heat radiation. If the
mass added up to the electrons, then the materials would cool down as the electrons
will absorb energy to get away from the nucleus. If the mass added up to the
nucleus, then the materials would heat up because the electrons would be
attracted towards the nucleus and will release heat or other forms of
radiation.
So, mass is made up of energy when energy condenses to the
point where it cannot exist as energy. And the basic unit of mass should have
the same volume of a photon in the space. And that volume should be the least
volume of space. All three dimensions would have a common place to meet.
The photons, the least units of mass, and the least volume
of space; these all will be measured and could easily be identified and we will
all be proud that we went another step ahead in science. What about the time?
It has a different set of rules, laws, behaviors and basic building blocks. To get
to the time, we will need to know the making of the basic building blocks of
space, mass and energy.
Even when we find out for sure the basic unit of mass,
energy and space, these would all be made up of something else. We will have to
get to that something else in order to understand time. Since time cannot be
explained in terms of space, mass or energy, time still has interactions with
these dimensions.
I am ready to share. Just be sure that you understood it all
up to this point to pass through to time…
