1. Space may be regarded as a theoretical “field” of zero frequency. It is still just like the undisturbed surface of a pond.

2. When space is disturbed it splits into electrical and magnetic components just like the disturbed surface of a pond splits into peaks and valleys.

3. The electrical and magnetic aspects of space transmute back and forth at a certain frequency just like the peaks and valleys of the pond’s surface transmute back and forth at a certain frequency.

4. An electromagnetic field is “disturbed space.” This field is very dynamic, and it carries electromagnetic disturbances of frequencies that constitute a spectrum.

5. The electromagnetic disturbance is three-dimensional, and it is transmitted to other parts of space just like waves on the surface of pond are transmitted to other parts of the pond.

6. Photons are elements of electromagnetic field. In space they are continuous like waves, but they behave like discrete energy particles during interactions among fields. The “size” of photon is determined by the frequency of disturbance at that location in the field.

7. More complex forms of fields are generated when basic electromagnetic fields interact with each other. These complex fields also have their energy particles of higher and complex frequencies.

8. Thus we have the Standard Model of Particle Physics.

9. Matter is basically an electromagnetic field, in which are embedded atoms. An atom is a more complex electronic field, in which are embedded nuclei. The nuclei seem to be a still more complex nuclear field. Matter itself is embedded in the very low-frequency field of cosmos.

10. A field consists of gradient of frequencies. The complex electronic field has gradients between nuclei embedded within it. Such gradients provide a rigid structure in solids that bind nuclei.

11. In liquids this structure is less rigid with nuclei farther apart. These nuclei are able to move relative to each other maintaining a certain distance.

12. In ideal gases, the nuclei are far enough not to be bound by the electronic structure of the field. They act as atoms with their own electronic fields. These atoms interact through “collisions” of their fields as they dart around.

13. Heating is essentially an interaction of incident infra-red rays with electronic fields of matter. Such interaction tends to increase the average distance among nuclei by weakening the bonds

14. The distance among nuclei is constrained by electronic bonds in solids and liquids, but much less so in vapor, and not at all in ideal gases.

15. In unconstrained gases, such as, the atmosphere around earth, the distance among particles is determined by a wider gravitational field. The interaction among particles then appears as pressure.

16. In externally constrained gases, we have higher pressures and we may have a pressure field.

The property of a particle is that it is discrete. But a particle can be discrete in many ways. It can be discrete from the viewpoint of energy; or it can be discrete from the viewpoint of space. A particle of energy does not necessarily imply that it is also a particle of space. A particle of energy can very well be continuous spatially.

1. The current idea of particles in Physics comes from quantum interaction that was first observed in black body radiation.

2. Einstein then came up with the idea of a “light particle” or photon from the discreteness of energy interactions as observed in black body radiation. Thus, the idea of quantum was born as “a discrete chunk of energy”.

3. But then, simultaneously, Einstein proposed his theory of special relativity that sees light as a continuous field of waves. Does this pose a contradiction?

4. No contradiction arises if the light wave is continuous in space but appears discrete only when interacting with matter. This raises the question, “Does discreteness of energy interactions mean that there must also be a discreteness in space?”

5. We seem to have an energy particle here. Do we then assume that such particles exist in space as discrete chunks? Can an energy particle remain continuous in space as a wave?

6. According to Disturbance Theory, Space is like a field of zero frequency. It may be compared to undisturbed surface of a pond.

7. When space is disturbed it splits into electrical and magnetic fields. These two fields seem to transmute back and forth at a frequency. This forms the disturbance.

8. This disturbance is transmitted to other parts of space as three-dimensional waves. This is similar to the waves on the surface of a pond when it is disturbed.

9. The wave-interference in the double-slit experiment is a spatial phenomenon and not an energy phenomenon. We are dealing here with a spatial wave and not with spatial particles.

10. Quantum is a particle of energy and not a particle of space. It seems to be continuous spatially.

NOTE: We are talking about photon here. The case of electron is a little more complex but the same argument is applicable.

1. We may view Space as “undisturbed field” with zero frequency. As space is disturbed a field of finite frequency is generated.

2. The field has electrical and magnetic aspects to it. As these aspects change, they reinforce each other through generation of force.

3. Thus field conveys force, which brings about changes elsewhere.

4. Inertia is expressed as “mass” in classical mechanics of matter. The equivalent expression of inertia would be as “frequency” in the field.

5. Inertia in a field shall increase with frequency. Higher frequency regions in a field shall have higher inertia, and more force shall be conveyed through such regions.

6. In very high frequency regions in a field, the frequency may condense and precipitate as mass.

7. Field has properties of interference and diffraction.
