I believe this is an erroneous assumption and that we will never understand the quanta until we consider the possibility that the universe moves. |
I'm not sure if I'm reading you right, but I think the reason you may not be getting any "bites" is because what you have written is consistent with the present model on the one hand and is a known work in progress on the other. There is nothing to argue with.
The only thing that struck me as odd is your contention about motion. The present model is based on things within the universe allegedly moving from the expansion of spacetime. I don't think anyone is anymore thinking the universe can't move, except myself.
