Your article is interesting, especially the part about the photon not being a particle. Personally I have trouble with theories based on concepts that can never be confirmed in phenomenal experience of any kind. No matter how much they claim to portray some aspects of some phenomena, they inevitably lack the capacity to apply universally. So please don't take this criticism as applying only to your theory. I find it difficult to believe that fast and slow zerons can be known in phenomenal experience, just as it is difficult to believe that time or space can ever be known as independent entities. The latter are at least known a posteriori to creation, but they are then elevated to a priori status to explain their own creation, which to my mind is just intellectual bootstrapping run amuck. Your article implicitly assumes that space and time are continuous, but there is no evidence that there is a spacetime continuum or that either or both of space and time are continuous. Planck's constant has a solid basis in experience and it strongly indicates that space and time are discontinuous.

But are photons really particles? There is lots of evidence that they surely exist as fundamental and discrete quanta of energy, but this does not make them hard little particles like a free electron or proton. Photon quanta are directly associated with Planck's constant. This strongly suggests that atoms are synchronously projected as a discontinuous series of still space frames that interrupt the electromagnetic spectrum across its entire breadth. All particle motion is a series of quantum jumps between successive space frames in the integrated fabric of space-time. The uncertainty principle necessarily follows. The only activity within each integrated space frame is that of light.

Since all light originates from within atoms, this can only mean that light itself defines space in relation to each individual atom. This is why the speed of light is universal. The only convincing evidence for light as a solid particle outside the atom is the neutrino and it is a particle remnant of neutron decay.

When confined subjectively within the atom, light behaves in a way orthogonal to its linear external projection. It defines the spherical dimensions of the whole atom, shell by shell, up to the ionization limit. In this respect photonic energy defines a solid atomic particle but only as intimately bound with electron and proton partners within the atom in a very specific way.

The number of de Broglie waves in an electron orbit is a direct function of the number of space frame jumps required to complete each orbit, since there is no particulate motion within a space frame. It can be shown that the number of such orbital waves as jumps is n cubed where n is the number of the orbit.

In this approach, atoms themselves are the fundamental building blocks of the universe from which space and time derive. In fact these structures and processes derive as a necessary requirement of universal wholeness. There is much more about this at www.cosmic-mindreach.com if you are interested. There is no need to invent arbitrary structures that can only vaguely be imagined and never detected, or to make self-contradictory conjectures about space and time.
