Most physicists believe waves of matter happen in nothing, and then they even start to think matter is nothing but relationships that are exactly like the relationships between numbers; that it's all math. They have come to think particles cause everything to happen. So anything that happens must have a particle to blame. It is the way people think about people. If the wind blows and makes a wave that knocks down a building some person is to blame, maybe the person who did not build the building strong enough. People are very averse to saying anything happens they do not control.

Very strangely, this very human reasoning based on pride is the newest approach to particle physics. The idea is that particles control everything, so whatever happens, there must be a particle that makes it happen. Like gravity for example, there must be a particle that causes gravity and they call it a graviton. That is totally absurd. The reasoning is faulty. It is the same thing as saying some person controls everything that happens.

But for that not to be true, there must be a backdrop that controls everything. And since we think space is empty, we think that waves can propagate through nothing, that a wave can propagate when there is no water because it is The Wave, which is similar to being The Man. Well, we have this huge thing missing because we don't believe there is a backdrop.

I expressed my idea for a backdrop and hoped to start a conversation, because once you accept the idea of a backdrop, the next questions are how do things happen on that backdrop? So you come up with theories about how things happen, for example, neutrons create the conditions for gravity. So you look at a neutron star, which as a huge amount of gravity and you wonder if that star is still orbiting around the galaxy or if it has taken a separate course. Because as you build the backdrop it is revealed to you that neutrons can't react to gravity, they only create the conditions for it. Protons and electrons react to gravity, but don't create gravity. So now you have something to find out experimentally.

If a hydrogen cloud, a nebula made only of electrons and protons cannot create gravity, then nebula are not collapsing into themselves (and they don't appear to be), but the neutron star that resulted from the explosion creating the nebula will no longer be centered in the explosion because it is not following the gravitational path of the galaxy anymore.

My initial explanations have to be taken on faith just because they make sense. One of my most initial ideas was that mass exists only when it is moving which corresponds exactly to what you were wondering. Doesn’t mass have to exist in at least two dimensions instead of the one dimension physicists think? Well that question has two parts. One, does matter have size? Yes it does, because it exists and everything that exists has size. But physicists don’t think so, so they can get very confused trying to explain everything mathematically with no backdrop. But explaining things with the proper backdrop becomes simple. Yes a particle (a photon) has size and weight but its size and weight is the same size and weight as the backdrop, so it appears to have no size and weight. Accurately describe the backdrop and you can really understand how things work. Two, you wondered, doesn’t mass have to exist in two dimensions, time and a spatial dimension? The fact that you wondered means it probably does. And in my backdrop, yes, mass can only exist in a spatial dimension and time. So it exists in two dimensions. You thought it should be that way, so there is a good chance it is that way. The amazing thing is, I constructed a model asking different questions, and it is that way for me too.

So think of space as matter particles that are not in motion. That is the backdrop. When a particle moves through that space it collides with the particle next to it, which collides with the particle next to it and that’s how particles move. Since they move from particle to particle (defining a particle as a grain of dust) they can only move in seven directions, because the matter dust that creates space must be arranged in a specific arrangement, which would either give that space six dimensions if they were arranged in square boxes, or seven dimensions if they are arranged in triangles. They are triangles, so it’s seven.

For something to become mass it must be moving from particle of dust to particle of dust through time. Otherwise, it is just part of the backdrop.
