Elementary particles or primitive structures?
Moments after the Big Bang, the material did not exist, the Universe was opaque and composed of radiation during its first three minutes that Weinberg describes. According to the current state of knowledge, it is intended for a contraction, the Big Crunch or Mega Black Hole (Hawking), an infinite expansion or just an eternal restart, a form of vibration of nothingness, the universe of zero energy as proposed by Prigogine.
Where is it located? When do we start calculating age? Is it in motion? The race of elementary particles began where? Will this race stop one day? Are the particles eternal?
It is difficult to answer these questions because we can not find a starting point for this race. Would it be ageless, located nowhere and motionless?
An object does not travel alone in a vacuum. It is Einstein's relativity, time, just as space is relative, there is no absolute point of reference. Matter is also distributed for each point of the Universe, in other words, one is at its center. Walking in a straight line in three dimensions is the equivalent of walking on a sphere, adding the fourth dimension of time, which would sooner or later bring us back to our point of origin, the center of everything. There is nothing between two objects except an infinite subdivision of emptiness. A distance is measured from measurement standards (meter, light years, etc.). These landmarks are constructed by defining benchmarks (for example, the temperature in degrees Celsius is determined by the freezing point and the boiling point of the water). Only in this way can distances be calculated in a vacuum that is not measurable. It is from the speed of light in the vacuum that we define the standard meter (the distance traveled by the light in a fraction of a second). And this fraction of a second is defined according to a clock that simply indicates a distance between two needle positions. The distance between two objects is more the algorithm of huddling reference objects between two objects than a reality. It is used to artificially involve the observer. This measure will always be imprecise, because it tries to measure something that does not exist, the emptiness is not measurable. In the void, there is always a smaller subdivision.
Because the Universe does not have landmarks that would locate it, (and even if there were others from where one could observe it, the question would rest for this new set) simply note that there is no absolute space-time, absolute landmark. After all, according to the theory of relativity, the universe has no center. There is no global spectacle, absolute, there are as many shows as there are spectators, angles of observation. Space-time is more the relation (the structural shaping) that exists between real objects than a reality in itself (a container-ether). These relationships are inseparable from the structures they compose. Should not we rather speak of space-time (in the plural)?
At the beginning of the Big Bang, all the elementary particles were concentrated on the end of a pin, there was almost nothing. It is an event that occurred fifteen billion years ago in relation to us (we can not situate it in an absolute way) which saw the expansion of the Universe occur as a successive appearance of structures first, radiation, then elementary particles, then the appearance of the first atoms, matter, stars, galaxies, etc. Time is the evolution of complexity. Atoms have already been the biggest objects. We are more constituted of organizations than substances, if there are substances. The structures exist but the absolute no longer exists since Einstein, everything is relative, never immutable.
A wall is palpable, it exists, but it is simply a brick organization, so a living being is a living cell organization. Every new reality is a structure. For example, a pile of bricks ceases to be a wall if the excavator is busy undoing its organization. And if elementary particles were not rather primitive structures? They are primitive because they were there at the beginning of our Universe and structural because they are decomposing.
A structure is countable and decomposable. It is part of a category of objects. It is a set of components whose cohesion is ensured by a force. According to the standard model, we will talk about strong, weak and electromagnetic nuclear power. It is possible to list all the elementary particles of matter within 12 categories (fermions) by adding four others for the interactions of forces (bosons).
Particles of the same category are not all identical since they must be distinguished from one another to count them, place them in time and space. The elementary particle is therefore composed of components that are identical to certain components of its peers and of components that are specific to it. It is then possible, if it is decomposable, to question its status as an elementary constituent of matter.
A structure creates a space-time among other structures, which is what gives it its specificity. For the latter, it is a portion of space-time, a landmark for calculating distances and displacements. Without landmarks, it is the absolute emptiness, there is no more space-time since it can not move from nowhere to anywhere, it never existed, because it left no trace . His relationship with his peers creates his nature, his color. It depends on other structures to locate and exist.
It is the discrete and non-continuous nature of matter, and thus its structural nature, which could be the link between quantum and relativistic theories:
