Abstract

I discuss the basis of holistic physics, in which matter is founded on the principle of the orbital system. Three stages - particles, atoms, gravitational systems - form the scaffold to matter's diversity. The density of the enclosed field of a system is inversely proportional to the system size, with the field content constant for all systems. Space is the nonmaterial medium for light waves and fields. The lower limit to physical reality is the reciprocal of light's velocity 1/c, below which actions are undetectable in virtual space. Protons and neutrons have an orbital system consisting of a nucleus of charged neutrinos surrounded by three shells of virtual photons. Space consists of points, the least bits of cohesion. The spinning oscillating points generate a helical doublet of virtual photons around them that was the basis of orbital systems. The points comprise the matrix and are the cause of its rigidity. In the synthesis of heavy particles astronomically large sections of the matrix rotated and contracted. As the temperature rose, the matrix melted and points fused. Following the explosive eruption the temperature plunged and the matrix again froze to become the medium for light and fields.
