Dear Dippy

None of your searching questions are simple!

a) This is a fundamental question and it could as easily be asked the other way round. I have described matter in some detail as constructed from combinations of strings - as in three quarks making up the protons and neutrons. So the strings don't consist of matter - they are the basic thing that goes to make matter. Energy is a little more complicated which relates to the vibration of the waveform. It requires some more thought.

b) Yes, in principle, I think that this concept provides a quantization of time - though what the actual quantities are I have no idea unless the Planck time is involved.

c) Photons are still a bit of a mystery. They seem to obey gravity in that their paths bend when they pass by a massive object but they have no difficulty defying gravity when escaping from the sun. I have similar problems with the electron and am currently trying to reconcile magnetism with my model.
