Continuity of Substance and Space
According to the criterion used by The Scientific Method, reality is continuous, consistent and harmonious. Therefore, in The Theory of Substance, the substance is postulated to be continuous, consistent and harmonious. This means that the substance is continuous even when it is divided into the categories of matter, energy and aether. To prove this one may show the movement of substance across these categories in either direction.
Space describes the dimensions of substance; and if substance is continuous then space must also be continuous. This continuity must exist regardless of the scale. If we can establish this continuity then a major disagreement between GR and QM can then be resolved.
The substance takes on different forms and configurations that can have sharply distinct boundaries. But if continuity exists, the substance should be able to move across these boundaries in either direction. The following boundaries may be examined:
- Between atom and the surrounding electromagnetic region.
- Between the nuclear region and the surrounding electronic region.
- Among the electrons in the electronic region.
- Among the nucleons within the nuclear region.
Point 3 and 4 above shall prove that nucleons and electrons are not mathematical “point particles” that can have exact locations within the atom. They are more like homogenous “fluid drops” with no definite locations. See The Atom.
The above reasoning is theoretically consistent. It may be verified by examining currently existing experimental data. Otherwise, new experiments can easily be designed.
