Background to the model

The concept of a quantum field is the basis for modern physics

Modern physics uses quantum fields to model the subatomic particles, and evidence for quantum fields is given by the atom and the double-slit experiment

However, quantum field theory is yet to include gravity

In contrast to modern physics, this model uses a strand shaped particle to model the subatomic particles

These subatomic particles are then used to model the atom, the double-slit experiment, and gravity

The strand shaped particle has a shape, and a size, and a surface, a surface which can bend and stretch, and the strand shaped particle moves at a single constant speed against a static universal reference frame, in three dimensional space

In the model, the subatomic particles are built using a physics engine that processes the behaviour of the strand shaped particle

Please note that these discussions have been produced without having the physics engine

In addition to the atom, the double-slit experiment, and gravity, the model also includes building the atomic nuclei for the atoms

The stable atomic nuclei that have been modelled, match against the experimental stable isotopes, with the number of stable isotopes for each element, from hydrogen through to iron, being

In addition, many of the unstable isotopes from hydrogen through to iron, have been modelled, and they match against their experimental decay sequences (although, a couple of the decay sequences were not able to be absolutely predicted by the model)

In total, over two hundred atomic nuclear isotopes have been modelled, and they all appear to match against their experimental counterparts

Could this agreement to experiment, achieved by a model that is based entirely on particles

Counter the modern physics suggestion that quantum fields are real

Here is a remarkable thought

Starting only with a particle that is in the shape of a strand, it is possible to predict which atomic nuclei are stable, and for the unstable nuclei, to predict their decay sequences

Think about that for a moment

Here is the animation that shows the first steps to using the strand shaped particle

Here is the animation that is interactive and let's you build the model's atomic nuclei

Please note, in the model, a proton is a positron sandwiched between two of the model's 'neutral' particles, a neutron is a proton with an electron embedded in its side, and the atomic nuclei have a flat structure

Which is different to the structure that is often used to depict an atomic nucleus
