The basic building blocks of everything…

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…
