Subatomic Chunks: Building Blocks of Matter and Energy
What if I told you that the universe’s most perplexing mysteries — from gravity to magnetism — could be explained by tiny, subatomic chunks? Welcome to the Timothian Model, where chunks are the key to understanding every natural process!
The central premise of the model is that all fundamental forces can be explained by the mechanics of subatomic (smaller than atoms) physical chunks of matter. Gravity, magnetism, and atomic forces each gain clarity through understanding the properties of these chunks and the processes they are responsible for. This article is an introduction to chunks themselves.
By the time you’ve finished this article, you will likely see the universe as fundamentally physically connected. The mysteries of a “vacuum” dissolve into meaningful cause-and-effect interactions through direct contact.
It’s all kinetic interactions, pressures, and flows.
Chunk Definitions
In essence, chunks are the fundamental building blocks of the universe, smaller than atoms yet crucial to all matter and energy.
Chunks Follow Newtonian Physics:
- Chunks take up space (a shape with volume).
- Chunks have mass (a quantity of matter in a body).
- Chunks vary in size, density, and shape (a zoo of varied species).
- Chunks can move in any direction and spin (move linearly and angularly).
- Chunks resist changes in motion (must interact with other mass to speed up or slow down).
- Chunks transfer motion when they strike each other or larger masses (exchange momentum).
These are all basic Newtonian properties, without exception, and follow Newton’s Laws of Motion when interacting with each other and larger masses.
The Timothian Model Further Defines Chunks:
- Chunks have always existed (primordial).
- Chunks are the building blocks of all larger matter (atoms, molecules, materials, bodies).
- Chunks fill all voids wherever larger bodies leave gaps (no true vacuums).
- Chunks outside of structures bump and interact with everything else (thermal/kinetic energy).
Chunks are NOT…
- Individual chunks do NOT have wave-particle duality. Individual chunks are bodies with mass. Collections of chunks can move in concert as waves.
- Individual chunks do NOT convert between energy and mass. Chunks are energy and mass, potential and kinetic, depending on configuration. Conversions occur by processes that create or destroy structures containing chunks.
Chunk Medium Definitions
Collectively, the sea of chunks forms a medium with its own properties and processes.
- Collections of chunks store energy as tension when forced into stable structures (potential energy).
- Collections of chunks transfer energy when they strike each other (thermal/kinetic energy).
- Collections of chunks release energy when they are broken apart from stable structures (thermal/kinetic energy).
- Collections of chunks oscillate as light (electromagnetic waves).
- Collections of chunks move in bulk following rapid pressure changes (gravity waves).
- Collections of chunks naturally flow from high to low-pressure zones through the path of least resistance (magnetic flows).
In short, collective interactions between chunks drive all processes in nature. These simple Newtonian based processes are used in the Timothian Model to mechanistically explain gravity, magnetism, pressure, light, and medium density changes, and their interactions.
Collections of Chunks are NOT…
- Collections of chunks do NOT have wave-particle duality. Collections of chunks can move together to propagate waves. Individual chunks themselves are solid pieces of matter.
- Collections of chunks are NOT the “aether”. While there are some similarities in the concept of a medium present throughout the universe, the aether was theorized to be stationary (single point of reference), one particle type (homogeneous), that oscillated light but didn’t interact with matter. Chunks are matter, they vary in size and density, and they move according to Newton’s Laws of Motion. In fact, as chunks move, vary in size and density, and interact with matter, they would not have been detected by the famous Michelson-Morley experiment of 1887. They were looking for the wrong type of medium.
- Chunks are not “dark matter”. Dark matter has not been defined with the properties of these chunks. That said, like dark matter theories, the presence of chunks with mass throughout the universe will help make sense of star systems and entire galaxies.
- Chunks are not “dark energy”. Dark energy has not been defined with the properties of these chunks. The presence of chunks with mass throughout the universe will help make sense of the universe’s processes and balanced energies.
Each of these concepts were useful for trying to reason out experimental and empirical observations and match them to our mathematical models. They were attempts to solve the same challenges as this model, but have been unsuccessful at combining to create a Grand Unified Theory. These are the shoulders that the Timothian Model sits upon!
Properties of the Chunk Medium
Grasping the properties of the chunk medium allows us to visualize the dynamic processes it facilitates across the cosmos.
Dynamic: The medium churns with perpetual motion driven by ongoing gravitational, electromagnetic, and kinetic (including thermal) interactions.
Interactive: The chunk medium bidirectionally couples with atomic matter through all chunk processes.
Connective: The medium provides transit pathways enabling gravity, light, magnetism, and kinetic interactions to convey across space. It renders all regions of the universe physically connected.
Generative: The medium’s interactions facilitate the emergence of structure. Orbital motions, atoms, planets, stars, and galaxies self-organize from the matter and processes of the dynamic chunk substrate.
Energy Storing: The stratifications and tensions induced in the medium by the presence of mass act as reservoirs of potential energy. The displacement of subatomic chunks from high entropy states to stratified spheres stores energy in the resulting spring-like tensions.
Entropy-Bound: The medium exhibits an intrinsic tendency toward higher entropy states. Continuous electromagnetic oscillations, gravitational changes, and kinetic interactions persistently nudge semi-stable and unstable configurations of matter toward structural destabilization.
Wave-Permissive: The chunks can oscillate collectively to enable propagation of light, gravity waves, and other energy perturbations through the medium itself.
Drag-Inductive: Atomic objects moving through the chunk medium encounter resistance by kinetically interacting with subatomic chunks.
The full documentation of the Timothian Model expands greatly on each of these.
Processes of the Chunk Medium
With the properties of the chunk medium established, let’s delve into the processes that drive its complex behaviors and interactions.
Local Disturbances by Objects: Objects moving through the chunk medium, including movements of chunks themselves, create a wake that must be backfilled by chunks. Chunks gain kinetic energy as objects move through them.
Local Pressure Imbalances: Local chunk medium pressure imbalances induce flows of chunks that restore balance and manifest as magnetic fields.
Zonal Pressure Imbalances: Zonal chunk medium pressure imbalances, such as those between galaxies induced by large impulse changes (such as a collapsing star) induce large collective flows of chunks that restore balance between zones of space that manifest as gravity waves.
Momentary EM Disturbances: Electromagnetic pulses at frequencies supported by the medium’s composition and local stiffness cause electromagnetic waves to propagate through the medium.
Dual-Natured Architect: The chunk medium and all the dynamic motions within it serve as a bifacial force, in some ways acting as creator, and in others, stress testing the strength of creation.
Random Movements as a Creative Force: Kinetic, oscillatory, and gravitational interactions within the chunk medium randomly create stable and semi-stable atomic configurations from freely moving chunks.
Random Movements as a Destructive Force: Kinetic, oscillatory, and gravitational interactions within the chunk medium tend to destroy semi-stable and unstable atomic chunk configurations.
Self-Organizing: The medium dynamically self-organizes from random interactions, tensions, and energy influxes across all scales according to Newton’s Laws of Motion.
Local Stratification Tensions: Displacements of the medium by atomic matter stratify chunks into densities, giving rise to gravity and gravitational stratifications that bend light.
Thermally Conductive: Freely moving chunks and constrained chunks (atoms and larger) interact thermally through bidirectional kinetic interactions between them.
Interactive Drag: The physical nature of subatomic chunks of matter leads to many interactive drag related processes between the medium and various atomic bodies.
Again, the full documentation of the Timothian Model expands greatly on each of these chunk medium processes.
A Few Process Examples
Light Oscillations Compared to Sound Oscillations
Air Molecules and Sound
To illustrate, let’s compare how sound waves travel through air with how light oscillations propagate through the chunk medium.
Consider how sound waves travel through the air. Air is about 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and a bunch of other gases like argon, carbon dioxide, neon, helium, methane, krypton, hydrogen, and xenon all below 1% each. Each gas molecule has its own size and density, and contributes to the combined oscillations of sound waves from the source (like a stereo speaker) to the destination (like your ear).
When a sound wave passes through the air, it applies a uniform force to the various gas molecules. Due to their different inertias, these molecules react differently to the wave. Lighter molecules with lower inertia, like helium, respond more quickly and are displaced further compared to heavier molecules with higher inertia, such as nitrogen. This differential response creates local variations in the composition of the air along the path of the sound wave.
Once the wave has passed, the molecules gradually return to their original positions and spread out evenly due to collisions between them. The temporary sorting of molecules by their inertia is a consequence of the sound wave passing through the heterogeneous medium of air.
This temporary sorting of molecules enables sound waves to propagate through the air, as the wave energy is transferred from one group of molecules to another through collisions, even as the differential response of the molecules creates local variations in the medium.
Centrifuge Spun Blood in Space
As another visual, imagine a centrifuge spinning blood plasma into different density layers in an experiment on the International Space Station (ISS). Centrifugal force is a uniform force in one direction against the various densities contained within blood. They separate. Turn the centrifuge off, and eventually the blood will mix again.
Comparison to Light Oscillations
The same processes are involved in chunk medium dynamics that transmit wave energy through kinetic chunk interactions of varied sizes and densities of chunks, mirroring sound waves at a subatomic scale.
Just as the temporary sorting of air molecules by density allows sound waves to propagate, the temporary sorting of chunks by size and density in response to wave energy enables the oscillation and transmission of light waves through the chunk medium.
The Speed of Light and Interactions with Gravity through the Chunk Medium
The ability of the sea of chunks making up this medium to explain cosmic processes should lead us to reconsider even basic assumptions in modern science, wherever they deviate from Newtonian mechanics.
Is the speed of light really constant across the vastness of space? Does traveling through space at very high speeds really change the mass of the object?
Consider that if the chunk species vary in size and density, any uniformly applied force against the medium will stratify its constituents by density, just like blood spun in a centrifuge. We know light refracts when passing through changing density mediums… we use that effect daily in fiber optic cables to “steer” light back toward the center of the fiber! This is no different than the uniform force of gravity stratifying the medium surrounding a planet. Light’s oscillations refract as it travels through different density locations in the medium. This is discussed in length, along with many other detailed examples of how chunk interactions give rise to various phenomena, in the full documentation of the Timothian Model.
Consider as well that in a medium that contains actual matter, that accelerating to ever increasing speeds through it will increase drag. Basically, a simple application of F=ma, where Force(thrust) — Force(drag) = mass x acceleration. No E=mc² increase of mass!
A Return to Classical Newtonian Physics
If you have struggled at all with contemporary theories proposing action at a distance, bent spacetime, things getting heavier at faster speeds, and particles with no true location until touched, electrons that are everywhere and nowhere, I promise you that the rest of this model will provide satisfaction. The weirdness and “magical” properties of gravity, magnets, and light travel all fall into logical, mechanistic lockstep. Chunks and the chunk medium can be used to explain each of these as emergent, rather than fundamental forces. Unification is possible!
I’m sure a lot of readers are thinking, “What about relativity? Or quantum field theory? We have evidence of those.” Stay tuned. The Timothian Model reconciles the empirical evidence (not the theories themselves) with Newtonian mechanics as well! The Hall Effect, the Stern-Gerlach experiment, magnetic attraction and repulsion, chemical bonds, and perpetually stable planetary orbits all fall neatly into place under a common umbrella.
Closing Thoughts
I hope this article has made you feel a deeper connection with our universe, where every interaction, from the grandest galaxies to the smallest particles, is driven by the fundamental mechanics of subatomic chunks.
In the end, the universe is operated by the mechanics of pressures and flows. I think Newton would have been proud!
Remember, a Grand Unified Theory (GUT) must challenge conventional thinking to reconcile gravity, magnetism, and atomic forces. Understanding chunk variation and interactions is a key step in seeing the big picture and a precursor to understanding gravity, light, and atomic forces.
If you are just starting to read my articles, I recommend reading “Magnetism Demystified: The Timothian Model’s Mechanistic Explanation of Attraction and Repulsion” next. Getting a handle on the mechanistic basics of magnetism is critical for understanding deeper concepts in electromagnetism and induction, the Hall Effect, the Stern-Gerlach experimental results, the Faraday Effect, and more.
