I am really confident that this physics concept, which describes the ultimate nature of reality, is correct (if you can logically refute it please send me an email).
The simplest explanation is usually the best one, and this concept only involves one type of ultimate particle, and is mystery/magic-free.
If you can prove the theory, any prize money and credit is all yours. So, do what you want with it.
I provide this concept as a framework for a new theory of everything based on a totally mechanical universe. I hope someone out there is willing and able to flesh it out with formal mathematical logic and write a computer simulation for the public.
This concept, if proven, would also, as a side-effect, demonstrate that reality incorporates universal reincarnation (though not the traditional Buddhist concept, but rather, an infinite sequence of past and infinite future lives, with no escape, ever). It would also demonstrate the impossibility of any god, or anything magical/supernatural, whatsoever.
My concept has it that the universe is a (the one and only) perpetual motion machine. It is thus by definition, infinite in time, and my concept is infinite in three spatial dimensions as well (and it does not violate the laws of thermodynamics! (because energy in the universe is neither created or destroyed, and at the ultimate level, in my concept, it is not even changed from one form to another; all energy in it is movement of the one type of ultimate particle; there is also no deformation at the ultimate level, and there is no energy loss to, or gain from, 'outside' the universe, as there is nothing outside the universe, as the universe is everything that is!)).
At its ultimate level, the universe may be reduced to an aether (the 'quantum field') comprised of the collision interactions of an unfathomably large, but finite number, of completely identical particles, which I name rogons (after me, Roger (but with a hard "g")). These are the cogs. This rogon is a fully rigid, unbreakable, bidirectionally infinitely-long particle, with a finite, sub-microscopic circular cross-section. It's collisions are one hundred percent elastic, like Newton's billiard balls, but able to rotate as well (like a propeller, or other line, may rotate, over and over, about a (in this case arbitrary) midpoint, however skewed, the rotation may be (obviously, twisting about the straight down-the-centre-of-the-length axis is probably meaningless). The rotations may come about when two rogons collide at an angle rather than flat on. The net effects are many numerous vortices of colliding lines which result in the macro force-effects that we encounter in the everyday world such as gravity, the electromagnetic force, etc. (because the many, various, different sized vortex-complexes are variously drawn to, or pushed away, by each other).
This concept is in essence an extension of Newtonian mechanics, but taken to the next logical step. Whereas forces were left as magic at a distance by Newton, my concept explains them as he explained macro kinetic-interactions, but with the fundamental particles being identical, one-dimensional, forever-long lines (of which, as before stated, there are an unfathomly-large, but finite, number), rather than just the Newtonian zero-dimensional point-particles.
The particle-wave duality observed from the famous double-slit experiment is as a result of the rogons existing in both the finite and the infinite simultaneously (characterising their cross-sections and lengths respectively). A particle-only universe is the reality (as the rogons are discrete indivisible entities), but they propagate like waves, as they can never leave the sea of interaction that is the universe (as there is no escape for bidirectionally infinitely-long particles, from other bidirectionally infinitely-long particles, as none of them ever remain perfectly parallel, and they all rotate in motion (hence also why there will also neither be a heat death of the universe, nor a 'big crunch (just like there was no 'big bang'), as it only takes a partial rotation of any rogon, no matter where it is located in the universe, because of it's bidirectional infinite-length, to connect with any other rogon in the universe, blocking by other rogons excepted/notwithstanding (movement will propagate nonetheless))).
In the double-slit experiment, the real particles (the rogons), don't actually pass through the slits, as they're not point particles, nor is there any real macro-level something, that is genuinely solid, with slits for them to pass through anyway (as rogons are ultimately the only thing that exist ((everything is dynamically connected, even if the rogons are oscillating or swirling between collisions), solid objects are all just macro-illusions (sort of like how eddies in a stream aren't real objects either)).
As rogon-rotation tangential-velocity may happen faster than the speed of light (it has to at certain finite to infinite distances from the axis of rotation irrespective of how fast the rogon is rotating (as the particles are bidirectionally infinitely long, and thus at an infinite distance from the axis, are travelling, tangentially, infinitely-fast)) it may explain quantum physics' "spooky action at a distance" whereby information between 'entangled' particles really does travel faster than the speed of light.
All objects are vortex-complexes. No rogon particle is ever a permanent part of any vortex, anymore than an eddy in a stream permanently incorporates any single water molecule, ever (the conventional physics model's sub-particles, atoms and molecules etc. are not composed permanently of any particular rogon particle either). So what does this imply? Well just as eddies in a stream may come and go, and it is still the same eddy when it does return, so it is the same with our 'souls' (that particular vortex, or complex thereof, that enables us in conjunction with a functional brain to observe and thus be). Nothing is static. It is the pattern, not any rogon particle, which determines who we are, and all patterns, no matter how precise, will always re-emerge in a system made up of vortices composed purely of mechanical rogon interactions. And, given that the universe is made up of infinite three-dimensional space and infinite time (extending infinitely into the future just like it had an infinite past), then not only is that 'soul' pattern guaranteed to reappear in the future, it is guaranteed to appear an infinite number of times in said future, just as it has previously appeared an infinite number of times in the past (as infinity is boundless, the chance of it recurring in the future is a certainty, but again, when it does, there is still infinite time left, so it will occur again, and then sometime in the future, thus again, and again, and again, etc.).
As there are no actual magical forces (all perceived forces being effects of vortex interactions drawing-in or pushing-away other vortices) there can be nothing supernatural, as everything is literally, purely mechanical. For argument's sake though, you could supposedly name anything 'God', but nothing, be it any single rogon, nor a vortex, nor a vortex complex etc., nor any perceived object is actually special. If there were a 'God'-rogon, unique from the rest (for example an ultimate particle with a larger cross-sectional diameter or a different cross-sectional shape, or both, from the rest) then the universe simply wouldn't work. It would be a terroristic destroyer-of-everything particle, given that it would have a much higher momentum than the others, and thus we'd thus all definitely know about it (or in actual fact, we wouldn't (because the universe would be too unstable and violent for any object to exist for any significant amount of time, and life, in any form, would never have had a chance to get started in the first place)).
Regardless, individual rogons are not conscious! (as this is a function-effect of each (unique) vortex-complex pattern that makes up each individual's 'soul', and this vortex pattern, while remaining the same shape for the course of one's existence, until being ultimately dispersed after death, before then reforming at an unknowable time in the future, as all patterns ultimately do, over and over again forever (and always churning through different rogon particles that make up said vortex (just like the eddy in a stream is always churning through water molecules that constitute it while it exists)), and finally, every 'soul' needs a functional brain to 'see' anyway; and I'm definitely not a believer in 'Boltzmann brains' any more than I am in god(s)!).
So, in summary, no individual rogon has any value on its own, equals no god!
