This assumption is both profound and accurate. We will illustrate how it is that the quantization of particles warps space and causes the gravitational field and force of gravity. As we explore these topics, we will introduce a model of particles and space which also shows cause for electromagnetic fields, unifies quantum mechanics with relativity, and explains the quantization of particles and fields. What we will propose is a simple and robust model of particles and space. This model is compelling because it agrees with experimental data and predicts what we observe. Interestingly this model only requires three dimensions and time to provide a more complete picture of our universe, unify quantum physics with relativity, and unify gravity with the other fields and forces of nature. As such it becomes the simplest solution for unification.

We know this because there remain many questions unanswered, and because of some incompatibilities between quantum physics and relativity theory. We have tried many things to attempt to explain the "non-local" aspects of wavefunctions and particles, but those things are mostly ad-hoc patches and do not really explain the discrepancies between these two theoretical foundations. However uncomfortable it might be, we must evaluate carefully, and determine which portions of existing theory are proven, which portions are arbitrary or opinion, and especially, which portions are contraindicated by the evidence. Herein, we introduce a unification of Relativity and Quantum Mechanics with theoretical simplicity and economy. This requires some modification to both theories. But the modifications we recommend are supported by the evidence, and once these modifications are made, we find cause for many things which previously had no causal explanation.

Cause, is one of the most fundamental of those questions. An important aspect of science is the ability to discover cause, and then to discover, and clearly show, the relationships which constitute that cause. Due to the fundamental scientific premise to show cause, we will present an interpretation of the behavior of space to the presence of fundamental energy. In this process we come to understand some the properties of space itself in more significant detail. As a consequence, we will also, quite interestingly, be able to show cause for electric charge, magnetic fields, the strong force, quantization, momentum, mass, entanglement, what have been called " pilot waves " , and the transformations which cause relativity. The initial intent in this research was just to understand electric charge and the constitution of the electron. But as researched progressed, and possible mechanisms for the creation of charge were examined, many aspects of our physical universe became clearer and more easily definable. " It is my opinion that everything must be based on a simple idea. And it is my opinion that this idea, once we have finally discovered it, will be so compelling, so beautiful, that we will say to one another, yes, how could it have been any different.

Our "conclusions", caused by our interpretation of observations and the experimental evidence, are expressed in our theories. Quantum theories and Relativity theory are examples of our interpretation of the evidence. But our current interpretation is guided not only by the observable, but also by those ideas, those minds which explored these puzzles before us. However, we need to be attentive to the fact that what we are able to observe is constrained and filtered by the nature of our existence. The very particles, of which matter and light are made, determine what is observable for us, because anything we are able to observe must have a discernable effect on those constituent particles. This means we are only able to have limited immediate knowledge of any given system. However, while this "measurement problem" poses an interesting challenge, it does not explicitly prevent us from learning far more about the nature of particles and fields. By understanding the nature and implications of our "measurement problem" we can assemble enough of the pieces so that we can see more deeply and clearly the nature of the universe, of particles, and of space.

NIST CODATA lists some physical constants as having uncertainty in their values. Here we are able to find and remove some of those errors in the precision Planck's constant.

From radio to visible to x-ray, telescopes are designed based upon the optical imaging theory; which is an extension of the Huygens-Fresnel diffraction integral. Do we understand the physical properties of gamma rays that defy us to manipulate them similarly? One demonstrated unique property of gamma rays is that they can be converted to elementary particles (electron and positron pair); or a particle-antiparticle pair can be converted into gamma rays. Thus, EM waves and elementary particles, being inter-convertible; we cannot expect to understand the deeper nature of light without succeeding to find structural interrelationship between photons and particles. This topic is directly relevant to develop a deeper understanding of the nature of light; which will, in turn, help our engineers to invent better optical instruments. Participants and SubTitles 1.

Fields and forces are the result of the properties, displacement, topology, and resultant "polarizations" of space. But perhaps it is more enlightening to state that forces are the result of the topology of particles, and the properties of space. In other words, the complexity of the properties of space are sufficient to be able to sustain electric, magnetic, weak, confinement, and strong forces, and as an aside, gravity. 6. Gravity is a change in the mass-equivalence (density p) of space, caused by energy in the fields of particles. This increase in the energy density of space in the vicinity of particles, causes space to display a slightly increased density term, slightly slowing the speed of light, resulting in gravitational force. 7. Any energy in space displays mass-like properties in the fabric of space.
