True atoms

A long time ago someone thought about what would happen if we kept breaking things down into ever smaller pieces. They proposed that eventually you would reach a point where something could not be broken down any further. They named these indivisible pieces atoms. As science moved forward these atoms became known as elements, each having more mass as they went down the periodic table from hydrogen the lightest through gold to uranium and so on. It then became apparent that each element was made of up of sub-atomic particles which have been named protons, neutrons, and electrons. However, these were found to be made up of even smaller parts. As the term atom has been hijacked for the intermediate size particles that we call elements, the piece that was originally thought of as the smallest possible can be referred to as a true atom.

Elements have a formation of muons, electrons, gluons etc that are themselves clusters of true atoms. The quantity and arrangement of the true atoms dictate their properties. The true atom can be considered akin to a magnet with its poles attracting and repelling other like-minded entities. You can see that two can join together quite nicely like top and tailing in bed. Other arrangements with three, four and so on, bonded, create structure. The structure alters the behaviours. As these structures get more complex, they form the basis for separate parts that then lead on to constitute the neutron and proton.

This true atom is indivisible. It sits in its own spot interacting with all its neighbours near and far. Having the idea of a truly unbreakable core particle raises questions about what form, shape, and size it is. Is it like a ball, spherical or might it be flat like a sheet of paper or could it be looping string shaped? The problem with all these shapes is that they create an impression that they can be cut and divided. Then there is the problem of where the atom begins and where does it end? Is there some kind of boundary between two or more atoms? Thinking of it as a single minuscule point doesn’t help either.

Every true atom interferes with every other true atom with decreasing magnitude the further apart they are. One effect is gravitational. Every atom in a big object like planet earth will attract every atom in the moon. This provides a clue to the form of true atoms. The atoms in your body are attracted to those in the earth and those in the moon even if the moon is on the other side of the earth to which you are standing. This implies that the force goes through countless atoms. Right through. The earth’s gravity is not one big, combined force, rather, lots and lots of tiny forces. Forces pass through a true atom and get interfered with along the way.

Each atom being derived from nothing gets a presence by borrowing like you borrow from a bank. The information can be borrowed but also repaid. The money in a bank is abstract and doesn’t have any form, shape, or size but an account can go into deficit. You have a hole where the money came from and cash to spend. The key is to look at the true atom as having no real substance, no ‘weight’ so to speak. It is much more akin to a piece of information. Information with the properties of mass.

One property of mass is the resistance to change in motion. The more mass an object has the more force required to accelerate it. More effort to speed it up, slow it down or redirect it. Another property is the gravitational pull on all other masses. Each true atom interacts with one another. No true atom exists without the rest. Each individual true atom is defined by the effect it has on the others. Astronomers can spot a planet that is light years away, not by seeing it directly but by seeing the effect it has on the orbit of other larger objects. The same principle applies with true atoms. The centre of the true atom, the position of it is made by the balance point of where it interacts with the others. The point of greatest action. The true atom has no form, but prescience dictated by all the other atoms. It is a packet of information that interacts and behaves like something solid. It will resist getting too close to another, redirecting when close to impact.

The structure of multiple bonded true atoms brings about the effect of magnetism and electrostatic forces and so on. Countless configurations lead to structure and the electrochemical interfaces. Whilst the atom is referred to as information it is not to be likened to some simulation. Far from it. No magic, no relation to information in the software sense. Real as can be as each piece of information exists in an exact spot at a set distance, at that point from all the other bits of active informational chunks. Yet would be creatable from nothing. Untold numbers of atoms acting at a place relative to each other. No shape, no form, no substance nor actual solid matter, only the characteristics that we see and experience around us. A miasma of information. Looking at it this way does not alter the physical world around us, and the physics remains precisely the same. The universe is no simulation, for each atom is acting in its present spot. We are not holograms. Information takes on the behaviour of mass that we observe.

The nature and state of the true atoms creates tension, tension that can be released: energy. Bring certain structures together and the tension in the structures collapse forming a new combined structure and pressure to shift the position of other true atoms. The potential for structures to change provides the will to force other structures to adopt new formations: energy transfer. The higher the relative speed of the true atoms the more they interfere when in close contact with other true atoms: temperature. Some structures will interact with others in relation to their relative movement or internal bouncing creating effects such as magnetism and radiating forces.

How each true atom behaves, how it creates structures is very finely balanced, self-balancing. The amount of force that it exhibits is crucial to the universe that results. That will always leave people open to a suggestion that something else is at play and that something devised it. One may presume that this one is more stable than other configurations. If you hypothetically change the values of the forces, things do not work the way they do now, everything falls apart.

the-only-way

The reason why the universe is how it is, is simple. There is no other way it can be. There are no other alternatives unless you throw out maths completely. If you say that a true atom is now to be 1.1 true atoms, then that is still one true atom. Looking at a collection of balls you can see that six fit around the centre one on a single plane or twelve if packed in all directions. There is no room for more than six. This implies that there are only certain limited configurations of elementary building blocks which then dictate the outcome of complex structures. All the velocities, forces and facets of the universe are interdependent. No other alternative is available as theoretical changes are akin to trying to get 7/13 such items around a core. True atoms are indivisible. You can only have whole numbers of true atoms. They can only be placed in certain ways no matter what. The patterns of beauty that can be created by aligning true atoms together are the only patterns possible.

Any universe that comes into fruition will have the same basic building blocks, there is no other way you can make one. No design is needed and thus no designer either. You may challenge this argument with the idea of bending the planes, potential distortion of time and space etc. All wrong. I have been presented with a simple gimmick that at first sight is perplexing. Take a strip of paper, put a twist in it and join the two ends. You can walk your finger along and lo and behold you travel through the plane of the paper without ‘going through’ it. Now draw two lines on the paper, make one a little wiggly to aid identification. When you join the paper one of the lines causes a stupid jump. Only 1 central line joins. Only a single chain of atoms confirms this trick. What plane did you travel through? None.

Trying to define simple standard units such as the metre, ampere, temperature is quite challenging. It is remarkable that each relate to one another so well. It is not some special formula that happens to work nicely but because no other possibility is possible. Rather than being finely balanced it is self-regulating. One aspect holds another back. You can see this in action on an old-fashioned steam engine. It has a spinning regulator. As the engine presses to run faster, the arms of the regulator move outwards closing off the steam pressure and vice versa. When an object continues to have a force applied to it, it keeps accelerating but in ever decreasing amounts. The object obtains a greater mass effect thereby attenuating the rate of acceleration towards zero. It self-limits else it would exceed the relative speed of light. A photon may briefly exceed the average speed that we think of as the constant speed of light. Any time it fractionally exceeds the boundary it is brought back into line quickly by its mass limiter.

The mathematics creates some issues that don’t correspond to the way things manifest themselves. If I break a cake in two and say to my friend that they can have the bigger half as I am not that hungry, they know what I mean. We take these ridiculous notions beyond face value. In reality you can't have a half of anything. You were in fact offering 345 zillion cake atoms and leaving 305 zillion for yourself. Fractions are only mathematical concepts and do not translate into tangible items. Circles are x sided shapes, never truly contiguous. The greater the precision of PI, the more dots used in the circle, enlarging it, making it ever more circular. There are only whole numbers, whole quantities of true atoms in practice. Were you to divide 1 by 3 you would have 3 numbers 0.33333..., 0.33333.., 0.33333..., but these don’t add up to 1. One third is what is called a transcendental number, where in this case the threes never end. However, for them to add up, one of them must take on a 4 at some point; 0.33334 Were you to attempt to split an apple in three, one of the pieces would have 1 atom more than the rest.

Maths allows us to imagine a whole lot of nonsense, which have no significance in what can actually be. With idiotic concepts like negative numbers and even dafter imaginary numbers being the square root of a non-existent entity. Great for solving accountancy problems but it has absolutely no place in the real world.
