No problem Dippy - but remember I don't have all the answers - my model is only part complete

1) They must have properties but not as we know it (Jim). Physical properties are only exhibited by physical matter so their 'properties' would contribute to those of the real world. The question for me is whether all of the string is the same but has different aspects due to its length or whether there are different kinds of string. I think that they will have charge and spin but mass may only be inherent in physical particles. Hence they interact with eachother to form the particles which we experience (as the quarks of the standard model). I think the energy/mass conversion is to do with the collapse of the wave function.

2) In my model, time is a digital function that switches the chronons on and off so I suspect that there must be a minimum value and this is likley to be the Planck time.

3) I think that the photon is probably a string which is detached from the basic structure of the aether but can't explain it yet. I also feel that the electron, photon and neutrino are closely connected but can't see how. Do you have any ideas?
