Hi Pat,

Your are right, Pat, one photon is one quantum particle; I just confused a photon with a beam or ray of light which consists of many photons and thus many quanta particles depending on the number of frequency.

In my theory, Pat, if the quantum particle has a gravitational effect and is a virtual black-hole than if many quanta particles are close enough they could form a real black-hole. Thus a two dimensional string particle can form a three dimensional particle. I think that Stephen Hawking had a solution with the idea of Hawking radiation or quantum fluctuation where positive and negative sub-atom particles are formed at the event horizon of a black hole. Stephen Hawking wrote a very interesting Book: Black Holes And Baby Universes And Other Essays.

Pat, I do not know about the gluon particle, it might be similar to the graviton particle, but I think there must be some gravitational link between the quarks particles because every object in the universe is connected by gravity as I understand Newton's idea. The quarks may be in a gravitational field but I think that this gravitational field is generated by the quanta particles.

As I said, Pat, I am not too familiar with the quark theory and the different eleven dimensions you speculate about; I just like to give you some of my ideas about my physical Toe universe theory.

Yours Cosvis.
