An alternate view of fundamental particle structure.
This is a brief description of an alternate theory of the structure of fundamental
particles (including leptons, quarks, and photons). It assumes forces interact via refraction of either
the exchange particle upon the fundamental particle, or the fundamental particles upon each
other in the case of the strong force. It further assumes the graviton is a low-energy tachyon,
with high (but imaginary) rest energy, and that a pair of gravitons is internal to all other fundamental
particles. As a low-energy tachyon with velocity far above c, the frequency is essentially
constant (around 4.148 x 1042 cycles per second for the graviton),
and the product of velocity and energy is also nearly constant (around c * 34.3 octillion eV).
The proto-lepton is in a 1s orbit within the electron, 2s in the muon, and 3s in the tauon. Similarly
the 2 kinds of proto-quark are in 1s, 2s, and 3s orbits for the up & down, charm & strange, and top
& bottom respectively. The photon has 1 or more proto-photons, each with essentially no rest mass but
kinetic energy equivalent to the underlying gravitons, probably in 3
mutually perpendicular planar orbits. The graviton is trapped within the structures by the
Lorentz-Fitzgerald contraction, which expands the 7.23 x 10-36m diameter of
the various orbiting constituents (derived from a balance of force on them) to fill the circumference
of the orbit from the gravitons perspective. Refraction attracts the constituent (since
slowing them drops their energy on the side with refraction), but repulses the graviton
(since slowing it raises its energy). The 2s and 3s orbits are much smaller for the
constituent than 1s, since wavelength drops with rising kinetic energy (rapidly near c).
