A year has passed since I began working on rebuilding the current theories confined within the Standard Model. My initial assumption, which aimed to replace time with dependencies of matter's activity, has evolved. It now focuses on the wave-like oscillations of the electromagnetic waves that constitute matter itself.

Our current understanding, which separates matter and electromagnetic waves, appears to be flawed. The concept of time—deeply rooted in a philosophical construct designed to frame the changes in the state of matter and motion—is a major point of contention between quantum and classical physics. While convenient, this notion creates a dissonance that prevents the unification of physics at our scale with quantum physics.

To understand this dissonance, we must deconstruct our perception of time:

*Time as a Measure of Change:** Time does not "flow" on its own. We experience time by observing changes: the movement of planets, the ticking of a clock, the aging of an organism. A clock measures time because its hands change position relative to its face.

*Thermodynamic Time:** The arrow of time seems inextricably linked to the increase in entropy (disorder). Physical and biological processes are driven by energy gradients and a tendency toward higher entropy.

*Time in Quantum Gravity:** In some approaches to quantizing gravity (like loop quantum gravity), time fundamentally disappears from the equations. It emerges as an approximate, large-scale concept. What is fundamental are the relationships and connections between events, not an external, absolute time.

Therefore, to find the connection between quantum and macro-scale physics, we must identify and redefine a common denominator. To achieve this, we need to eliminate the concept of time from our equations and replace it with functions that describe the cycles of change in wave states.

Our basic classification of classical physics as deterministic and quantum physics as nondeterministic stems from a lack of understanding of quantum phenomena. This leads us to use approximations, hence the reliance on statistics and probabilistic relationships.

This misunderstanding also arises from our assumption that, at the quantum level, Quantum Field Theory (QFT) anchors elementary particles in a kind of crystalline lattice of quantum fields. In reality, we should assume that matter itself is a form of condensed electromagnetic energy. This leads to the consequential idea that quantum fields also play a role in the propagation of electromagnetic waves.

This is not mere semantics, but a complete change of perspective on the construction of our universe.

This new perspective makes it suddenly understandable why electromagnetic waves, despite having zero rest mass, are subject to gravitational interactions, as observed in gravitational lensing.

By adopting the photon-as-a-particle model, we introduce a very useful, practical approximation, documented by the photoelectric effect. However, this assumption quickly loses its validity as the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation increases. After all, the propagation mechanism does not change with wavelength. The only difference is the form of energy condensation in the context of energy distribution and wavelength.

An analogy to classical wave physics can be found here. If we imagine space as a collection of points—nodes in a crystalline lattice—longer waves propagate more easily than shorter ones. This is because, for the same amplitude, long waves create less strain in the medium than short waves. This fact also quite strongly suggests that electromagnetic waves propagate in a medium with specific energetic properties.

I call my theory the "Parabolic Mirror Theory" due to the many analogies I see between macro-scale physics and quantum physics.

Consequently, the assumption about the origin of the universe will require remodeling. The simple explosion of condensed energy/matter, as postulated by the Big Bang theory, is insufficient to simulate the creation of elementary particles. I postulate that these particles are condensed packets of energy in the form of standing waves, which require a propagation medium.

I call this model the "Resonant Big Bang," whose mechanism of action is distinct from the simple expansion of particles created in the initial explosion. I question the standard model and propose that a simulation closer to reality would involve a series of successive explosions, with electromagnetic waves propagating and reflecting from the boundaries of the medium back toward the center of the explosion.

This process would create the necessary conditions for the formation of elementary particles as standing waves, gradually and pulsatingly expanding their boundaries, thereby building the very medium for the propagation of electromagnetic waves and elementary particles.
