1. Introduction
In 1666, Isaac Newton formulated the law of universal gravitation [1] after observing an apple fall from a tree. Later, in 1687, he published his three laws of motion [2] in Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica.
By 1675, Newton had already developed the essential concepts of gravitation, the laws of motion, and calculus. In a letter to Robert Hooke, he wrote the now-famous words:
βIf I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.β
More than three centuries later, physics continues to build upon Newtonβs work. This paper proposes that several further implications of Newtonβs concept of inertia remain unexplored. By re-examining inertia and its relationship to energy, gravity, motion and heat, a unity model is proposed for understanding the formation and evolution of matter and the universe.
2. Inertia-at-Rest Produces Weight and Unity
Newtonβs first law describes inertia as the natural tendency of an object to maintain its state of motion or rest unless acted upon by an external forceΒ [2].
Newtonβs third law states that every action is accompanied by an equal and opposite reactionΒ [2].
Newton therefore identified inertia as a natural tendency that has two states: inertia at rest and inertia in motion.
That is, matter expresses its natural tendency inertia as two intrinsic forces:
inertia-at-rest () and
inertia-in-motion ()
As forces are vectors with directions, every particle within a group exerts its on every other particle, toward itself (to be precise, toward its centre), as a constant pull, and is pulled by them in return (according to Newtonβs third law), resulting in a concentrating pulling force (joint ) of the group, directed toward the centre of the group.
Therefore, each particleβs is a contribution to the joint of the group, manifesting as its weight (W) or gravity (F):
A group of particles combined by a concentrating pulling force (joint ) is termed a unity, where:
Each constituent particle is a unity member.
Each member joins or contributes its to the concentrating pulling force of the unity.
The most contributed member naturally becomes the unity centre.
This process is hierarchical. A unity may itself become a member of a larger unity, resulting in a nested structure of increasing scale. Thus, atoms, planets, stars, and galaxies can all be interpreted as unities within larger unities.
The above statements constitute the main part of the unity model. Examples or demonstrations:
Within an atom, electrons and the nucleus contribute to a concentrating pulling force of the atom unity.
Within the Moon, atom unities contribute to a concentrating pulling force of the Moon unity.
Within Earth, subordinate unities, including the Moon unity, contribute to a concentrating pulling force of the Earth unity.
In each case, the most contributed member naturally becomes the unity centre: the nucleus, the Moon itself, and the Earth itself.
3. Inertia-at-Rest Produces Weight or Gravity
As identified above, matterβs weight (W) or gravity (F) is from its pulling force of inertia-at-rest (): , toward its unity centre, as a unity member sharing its to the joint of the unity.
Therefore, the fundamental way to measure a unity memberβs weight (W) or gravity (F) is to break its with a minimum pushing force of inertia-in-motion () β the Breaking-point Method:
3.1. Measurement on Earth
When a weighing scale supports an object in equilibrium, it applies the minimum pushing force () required to balance the objectβs . Under calibrated conditions, the measured value represents the objectβs weight or gravity:
3.2. Continuous Matter
For continuous materials such as air, water, and soil, weight may be measured per unit area (A) or per unit volume (V). Examples include:
Pressure:
Unit weight:
3.3. Atomic Scale
At the atomic scale, the minimum electronic flow () required to break an electron from an atom unity measures that electronβs or W or F:
3.4. Planetary Systems
In larger unities, such as the Earth unity or the Sun unity, orbital equilibrium results from a balance between the pulling force of an orbiting unity and the pushing forces of heat () from the unity centre, so that the heat transfer on the orbiting unity () measures the orbiting unityβs or W or F:
4. Inertia-at-Rest Produces Gravity
Newtonβs law of universal gravitationΒ [1] states that every particle attracts every other particle with a force:
where is the gravitational constant, and are masses, and is the distance between them. Although Newton successfully described the relationship mathematically, he did not know the source or mechanism of the gravitational attraction.
The unity model identifies the source and mechanism of gravity () or weight () as the pulling force of inertia-at-rest (), which is a share of the concentrating pulling force of the unity, toward the unity centre:
Therefore, gravity is not an independent force but the expression of inertia-at-rest within a unity.
An Alternative Empirical Equation
When direct measurement by the Breaking-point Method is impractical, an empirical estimate of gravity may be obtained through the mass and distance relationship:
where:
is the pulling force (gravity, weight, or inertia-at-rest),
is the pulling constant,
is the mass of the unity member (for example, Earth unity including the nested Moon unity),
is the mass of the unity centre (for example, the Sun itself),
is the distance between their centres.
If masses are measured in kilograms (kg) and distance in metres (m), has dimensions of metres per kilogram (m/kg), so that is in kg.
In this empirical equation, determination of requires observational data.
5. Forces Come from Energy
All forces originate from energy. According to my previous workΒ [3, 4, 5, 6], a force is a measurable vector that transfers and manifests scalar energy, and energy is a property of matter, not a physical entity.
Because matter expresses itself through two intrinsic forces β inertia-at-rest () and inertia-in-motion () β it follows that there are two corresponding forms of energy.
The energy producing pulling force β inertia-at-rest (), is termed sharing-energy (), because it is shared with other to produce the concentrating pulling force of the unity.
The energy producing pushing force β inertia-in-motion (), is termed excess-energy (), because it is the energy of free particles that are released as heat to maintain the unity.
Thus:
Sharing-energy () produces inertia-at-rest ().
Excess-energy () produces inertia-in-motion ().
6. Inertia-at-Rest and Inertia-in-Motion Cause Transitions Between Equilibriums
Newtonβs second law states that the change in an objectβs motion is proportional to the force acting upon it and occurs in the direction of that forceΒ [2]. In modern notation:
Motion is quantified as momentum , where is the mass, is the velocity of the object.
The force , where is the mass, is the time derivative of the velocity, which is the acceleration ().
Building upon these concepts, this paper proposes that inertia-at-rest () and inertia-in-motion () cause transitions between equilibrium states.
6.1. Initial Equilibrium
Consider an object as a unity member in its initial equilibrium, contributing its initial inertia-at-rest with its source sharing-energy to the concentrating pulling force, which can be measured as its weight () or gravity ():
6.2. Transition to Motion
When acted upon by a sufficient external :
the unity member leaves its equilibrium state and becomes a free particle carrying initial .
Its subsequent motion is determined by the net force of its and . Unless both forces direct to its hierarchical unity centre, the particle follows a curved trajectory toward the unity centre, because the always directs to the unity centre.
6.3. Motion and Friction
As the particle moves along the curved trajectory toward its unity centre, it collides with other particles.
Each collision alters the particleβs momentum () and transfers part of its to the colliding particle, producing a friction or heat:
6.4. Ending Equilibrium
After transferring all its : , the particle reaches its ending equilibrium, as close as it can be to the unity centre, and again becomes a unity member, with its ending inertia-at-rest and its source sharing-energy , that can be measured by its ending weight () or gravity ():
6.5. Potential Energy
The energy difference between the initial equilibrium and the ending equilibrium is defined as potential energy ().
a) From the initial action, the objectβs potential energy () plus its initial , can be expressed as:
If the object is simply dropped from a height, with , then:
That is, matter releases its potential energy as a free fall toward its unity centre, due to its .
b) In the free fall, the object converts its to (the source energy of ), which in turn converts to (the source energy of ), and collides with other particles, changing its velocity and producing heat ():
c) In the ending equilibrium, whatever left of the becomes the increased sharing-energy: , which can be measured by increased weight or increased gravity :
d) That is, can be regarded as matterβs unrealised sharing-energy. In the process of realising its to , matter must spend some of the on frictions (collisions), producing heat (), while converting the to :
e) Matter farther from its unity centre therefore possesses a greater amount of unrealised sharing-energy () than it would be closer to a unity centre.
f) Matter realises its progressively approaching its unity centre, until all its is realised in the unity centre, which, in a bigger nesting unity, also means a nuclear fusion centre, such as the Sun.
g) Therefore, the energy version of the unity model: matter retains its internal intrinsic and its in a nested unity as a unity member until being pushed out by an external excess-energy () as a free particle with , to transfer the as heat. After transferring all its , it rejoins a unity, sharing its for the concentrating pulling force of the unity, once again as a unity member.
h) That is, matter moves to form and maintain its unity, relative to its unity centre, which serves as its reference point, thereby nullifying the basis of the observational reference frame and relativityΒ [3, 4, 5].
7. Inertia-in-Motion is Heat From Excess-Energy
According to Newtonβs first law, matter changes from inertia at rest to inertia in motion when acted upon by a sufficient force.
When a unity member possessing inertia-at-rest () is acted upon by a sufficient external force of inertia-in-motion (), its state changes from inertia at rest to inertia in motion, becoming a free particle with .
As the is an outward pushing force, with countless vector directions to quantify, its source excess-energy () is scalar.
The free particle moves along the net force of its and . Suppose the particle has a stronger (for example, ) and collides with another particle with a weaker (for example, ), and equalises its with the otherβs :
thus, transfers its as heatΒ [4] (Newtonβs third law is also in effect).
Following the collision, both particles continue to transfer their respective to other particles, resulting in radiationΒ [4, 5].
Smaller particles transfer heat more readily because of their lower mass:
Nearly massless free photons () and free neutrinos () are therefore the most efficient heat-transfer particles. Free photons constitute photonic heatΒ [4, 5].
Free electrons () are the next most efficient heat carriers and constitute electronic heatΒ [4, 5].
Gas particles (such as , , , , and ) and liquid molecules (such as ) transfer atomic and molecular heatΒ [4, 5].
In solids, heat is transferred through both the atoms and their outermost electrons:
When atoms in a solid are struck by external atomic heat particles:
The atoms equalise their ().
If the external heat exceeds the materialβs melting point, heat transfer continues in the liquid state.
When the outermost electrons of solid atoms are struck by external electronic heat particles ():
If the electrons can be freed easily, as in good electronic conductors, the heat transfer becomes an electronic current.
Otherwise, the heat transfer occurs among atoms in the material.
When the outermost electrons are struck by external photonic heat particles ():
If the electrons can be freed easily, as in photovoltaic materials, the heat transfer becomes an electronic current.
Otherwise, the heat transfer occurs among atoms in the material.
After transferring all its (), each particle rejoins a unity, contributing its to the concentrating pulling force of the unity, once again becoming a unity member. Examples include:
An electron rejoining an atom that has previously lost an electron.
A photon rejoining an electron: .
A neutrino rejoining a proton: .
A gas or liquid particle moving closer to the centre of its planetary unity.
So, I summarise and propose:
Inertia-in-motion () is the pushing force of a free particle.
With sufficient (), the free particle can push or collide a unity member with inertia-at-rest () into a new free particle with .
The newly freed particle moves along the net force of its and and collides with another particle while equalising each otherβs source , causing subsequent heat transfer or radiation.
After transferring all its , each particle rejoins a unity, contributing its to the concentrating pulling force of the unity, once again as a unity member.
Therefore, heat is redefined as the expressed by these free particlesβ Β [4, 5].
Radiation is redefined and generalised as heat transfer, by a free particle colliding with another particle while equalising each otherβs ()Β [4, 5].
8. Atomic and Molecular Heat
Atomic and molecular heat is expressed by free gas or liquid particlesβ . For example:
The free air particles of the wind transfer their to our body, changing our body temperature.
The synchronised free and hot air particles from a combustion chamber transfer their to the engine.
The free water molecules in a flowing river transfer their to turbines connected to generators, producing electricity.
Atomic and molecular heat can be transferred from other kinds of free particles: . For example:
From photonic heat, like sunshine.
From electronic heat, like an electronic heater.
Heat Transfer Rate:
In the International System of Units (SI), heat () is measured in joules (J).
The rate of heat transfer is measured in watts (W): .
Heat flux is defined as heat transfer per unit area and is commonly measured in watts per square metre ().
Temperature Measurement:
In meteorology and climate science, heat transfer is frequently measured through temperature and wind conditions.
One of the most common instruments for measuring temperature is the glass thermometer, consisting of a glass tube filled with mercury or some other liquid.
Temperature change causes the volume change of the liquid: the ambient free particles transfer their by colliding while equalising their with the liquid particles through the glass tube, changing each particleβs motion space (a particle with stronger pushes harder), causing volume change of the liquid.
Temperature is therefore determined by measuring the resulting volume change, typically indicated by the height of the liquid column within the thermometer.
9. Electronic Heat
According to the unity model and my previous workΒ [4, 5]:
An electron () and a photon () normally join their into a concentrating pulling force of an electron unity (), with the more contributed electron as the unity centre.
The electron unity () in turn joins or contributes its to the concentrating pulling force of an atom unity, as a nested member, orbiting the most contributed (hence centred) nuclear unity.
When an external sufficient () pushes the nested member (), the member becomes a free electron unity with pushing force as heat. Then the usually breaks apart, producing heat and invisible light:
If the external pushes harder, the member becomes a stronger free electron unity with pushing force as heat. Then the breaks apart, producing more heat and visible light:
Therefore, electric charge and electricity are redefined as electronic heat β the pushing force of free electron unities and the pulling force of the respective atom unities, negating the currently generalised concept of electric chargeΒ [7].
An electric field is therefore redefined as an electronic fieldΒ [4, 5], consisting of circling electron unities along the pushing direction.
The circling electron unities in an electronic field transfer heat, producing magnetic effects, including the motor effect. When two electronic fields approach one another:
If their circling directions are similar, they attract and merge into one: the electron unities with stronger bump the electron unities with weaker into the same direction and energy level, releasing their bonding photons as weak and invisible light: .
If their circling directions oppose one another, they repel until clash into one: the electron unities from one field collide with the electron unities from the other field, releasing their bonding photons as strong and visible light: (such as a lightning).
That is, when two electronic fields are in proximity, heat transfer () causes attraction or repulsion depending on the rotational alignment of their circling electron unities.
The pushing force of electronic heat, with the resulting phenomena, is termed electronismΒ [4, 5, 6], replacing the current concepts of magnetism and electromagnetism.
A star, such as the Sun, has the biggest and the strongest electronic field in a stellar unity. The enormous high-energy free electrons ( or positrons) released from its nuclear fusion centre collide with outside electron unities (), producing light () and more free electrons ():
The released light and heat continue to transfer heat () as the starβs pushing force .
The Earth also has an electronic field:
The heat transferred from the Sun to the atmosphere of Earth produces abundant free electrons.
In the centre of Earth, beta decays and nuclear fissionsΒ [4] produce numerous high-energy free electrons, although most of them transfer their to atomic and molecular heat in the centre.
On the surface of Earth, beta decays produce abundant high-energy free electrons.
On the surface of Earth, the three βmagneticβ elements with electrons per shell:
Iron, : 2, 8, 14, 2.
Cobalt, : 2, 8, 15, 2.
Nickel, : 2, 8, 16, 2.
Each of these elements possesses two outermost electrons, one of which is easily freed through a collision, for example:
with a free photon:
with a free electron:
to join the surrounding electronic field. See FigureΒ 1.
All these free electrons with push in the same direction while transferring heat, forming many small and local circling electronic fields, becoming the building blocks for the circling electronic field of Earth.

Therefore, there are no such things as βmagnetic fieldβ and βmagnetismβ. Any βmagnetic fieldβ or βelectromagnetic fieldβ is an electronic fieldΒ [4, 5, 6].
Measurement of Electronic Heat Transfer:
The electronic heat () is also measured in J, and the transfer rate is measured in watts (W): , with the following proofΒ [8]:
The ampere (A) is the base unit of electronic current in the International System of Units (SI). represents a flow of () electrons per second: .
A volt is defined as one joule of heat per coulomb: .
Therefore, .
That is, can be used to measure heat transfer by any free particles, such as electrons, photons, wind, steam or flowing water.
Devices with relatively low power requirements are typically rated in watts, while larger systems are rated in kilowatts or higher:
Electronic Heat Transfer Over Time:
The accumulated transfer of electronic heat is commonly measured using watt-hours (Wh). One watt-hour represents the transfer of one watt sustained for one hour.
For practical applications, usage is generally measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh), which quantifies the total amount of electronic heat transferred through a circuit over time.
10. Photonic Heat
According to the unity model and my previous workΒ [4, 5, 6], light is redefined as photonic heat. More precisely, light is the heat () of free photons.
A photon () and an electron () normally contribute their to a concentrating pulling force of an electron unity (), with the less contributed photon orbiting the more contributed electron.
The minimum pushing force () a photon requires to break free of its electron measures its or gravity () or weight () in its electron unity:
When pushed by a sufficient (), the photon oscillates away as a free photon with the source excess-energy (), in waves. The stronger the , the higher the frequency () of the waves, with the cause-effect equation:
where is the Planck constantΒ [9].
Upon generation, the free photon () transfers its excess-energy () as heat through particle collisions β experiencing velocity shifts such as reflections and deflections β until its excess-energy is fully depleted () and it is reabsorbed by an electron to form an electron unity ().
When the free photons strike the retinas of our eyes, their different within a certain energy range are interpreted (perceived) by our brains as the respective colours. The free photons outside the energy range, for example, gamma rays, X-rays, or radio waves, which cannot be interpreted by our brains, require specialised instruments or devices forΒ our recognition.
Measurement of Photonic Heat:
As stated before, W or J/s can be used to measure heat transfer by any free particles, including free photons.
Hence, it measures luminosityΒ [10] β the free particles released as heat by astronomical objects such as stars in galaxies.
Historically, the standard candleΒ [11] served as a practical reference for comparing light output and is now widely used in astronomical distance estimation.
The mole is the SI base unit for the amount of substance: elementary entities. Accordingly, .
The Formation of a Quantum
Current physics defines a quantumΒ [12] as the minimum discrete quantity involved in a physical interaction.
The unity model describes the formation of a quantum: when matter possessing sharing-energy () is displaced from its unity by a sufficient external excess-energy (), it becomes a free particle with , to transfer the through collisions with other particles.
That is, only free particles are involved in physical interactions.
A particle must first overcome its to become free, hence the discrete quantity.
Once this threshold is crossed, the particle may possess continuous values of rather than discrete multiples of .
No additional threshold exists that would require subsequent βquantum leapsβ. However, an effective interaction (collision) does require sufficient energy (). In this sense, quantisation is still valid.
Therefore, a quantum is redefined as a free particle possessing an initial equal to or greater than its or gravity and requiring sufficient to transfer heat effectivelyΒ [3, 4].
11. Heat Transfer β Electric Generator
According to current physics, an electric generatorΒ [13] converts mechanical energy (motion) into electrical energy. It works on the principle of electromagnetic inductionΒ [14] proposed by Michael Faraday, originally in 1831 and expanded in 1834, and mathematically described by James Clerk Maxwell as Faradayβs law of induction.
Faradayβs law was later generalised into the Maxwell-Faraday equation, one of the four Maxwell equations in his theory of electromagnetismΒ [14].
According to Albert Einstein, much of the groundwork and discovery of his special relativity theory was presented by this law of induction by FaradayΒ [14].
According to the unity model, the demonstrations in the section of Electronic Heat, and my previous workΒ [4, 5, 6], any βmagnetic or electromagnetic fieldβ is an electronic field, nullifying the basis of Faradayβs electromagnetic induction, Maxwellβs theory of electromagnetism, and Einsteinβs special relativityΒ [4].
As another demonstration, the following are comparisons of the Magnetic (M) and the Electronic (E) theoriesΒ [4] of an electric generator:
(M) When a wire (conductor) moves through a rotating magnetic field, the magnetic force βpushesβ the electrons inside the wire, creating a flow of electricity. A generator essentially forces these electrons through an external circuit to power devices.
(E) When a wire (conductor, for example, made of copper Cu) moves through a rotating electronic field, the energised electron unities () collide with and break free the outermost electrons of the wire (Cu) atoms, transferring their as heat to the newly freed electrons, producing an electronic current that continues the heat transfer (radiation) along the wire.
11.1. Main Components
Rotor: The rotating component of the machine containing magnets or electromagnets that generate:
(M) a rotating magnetic field.
(E) a rotating electronic field with energised circling electron unities, see FigureΒ 1.
Stator: The stationary component containing conductive coils.
(M) The rotating magnetic field passes through the coils and induces a current.
(E) The energised electron unities break free the outermost electrons from the coil atoms and transfer their , producing a current.
11.2. Operating Process
Energy Input: An external heat source is required to maintain rotor motion. Examples include:
Fossil-fuel combustion
Nuclear fission
Hydroelectric power
Wind power
Geothermal energy
The Rotational Motion:
(M) rotates a magnetic field.
(E) rotates an electronic field with energised electron unities.
Electronic Output
(M) The changing magnetic field induces a voltage and current in the stator coils.
(E) The energised electron unities break free and energise the outermost electrons of the coil atoms, producing a current in the coils.
From this perspective, the device does not generate electricity but transfers other heat sources to electronic heat. Therefore, electric transferorΒ [4] is proposed to replace the term electric generator.
Two examples or applications of the electric transferor follow.
12. Heat Transfer β Hydroelectricity
Hydroelectricity comes from the potential energy () of water molecules transferred from the of sunlight or photonic heat ().
As the water flows down by its with Earth, converting the to : , turning turbines connected to generators (transferors), the from the water molecules is transferred to of electrons, which is electricity.
12.1. Water Source
Water molecules evaporated by the photonic heat ( of sunlight) and deposited at a higher elevation have potential energy (): . Examples include:
Melting snow or reservoirs on mountains
Lakes at high elevations
12.2. Turbine
As water descends from the higher elevation, its is transformed into :
The of flowing water rotates the turbine blades, transferring the to the rotating system.
12.3. Electric Transferor
The rotating turbine drives an electric transferor, transferring the of the rotating system to the of electrons (electricity): .
The resulting electronic heat is then distributed through electronic transmission systems.
Therefore, hydroelectricity is represented as the following energy flow:
(sunlight) (elevated water) (flowing water) (turbine rotation) (electronic heat).
13. Heat Transfer β Wind Energy
The of air particles ( of wind), transferred from the of sunlight (photonic heat), turns wind turbines connected to generators (transferors), transferring the from the wind to the of electrons (electricity): , as Wind energy.
13.1. Wind
Air particles absorb from photonic heat ( of sunlight) and from the surface of Earth: , producing wind.
13.2. Turbine
As the of wind pushes the blades of a wind turbine, it rotates the rotor of the turbine, transferring the to the rotating system.
13.3. Electric Transferor
The rotating turbine drives an electric transferor, transferring the of the rotating system to the of electrons (electricity): .
The resulting electronic heat is distributed through electronic transmission systems.
Therefore, wind power is represented as the following energy flow:
(sunlight) (air particles) (turbine rotation) (electronic heat).
14. Heat Transfer β Electric Motor
According to current physics, an electric motorΒ [15] operates on the fundamental principle of electromagnetism, converting electrical energy into mechanical energy.
According to the unity model, the demonstrations in the section of Electronic Heat, and my previous workΒ [4, 5, 6], any βmagnetic or electromagnetic fieldβ is an electronic field.
As another demonstration, the following are comparisons of the Magnetic (M) and the Electronic (E) theories of an electric motor:
(M) The core mechanism relies on the motor effectΒ [16], which dictates that a current-carrying conductor placed inside an external magnetic field experiences a physical pushing force. This interaction generates continuous torque, causing the motorβs shaft to spin and power machinery.
(E) The core mechanism relies on heat transfer, which dictates that when two electronic fields are in proximity, heat transfer () causes attraction or repulsion depending on the rotational alignment of their circling electron unities. This interaction generates continuous torque, causing the motorβs shaft to spin and power machinery.
14.1. Core Working Principles
(M) The Motor EffectΒ [16]: When electric current flows through a coil of wire, it creates its own temporary magnetic field. This temporary field interacts with the permanent magnetic field surrounding it.
(E) The Heat Transfer: When electronic current flows through a coil of wire, it produces a temporary electronic field, which transfers heat with the permanent electronic field surrounding it.
(M) Magnetic Attraction and Repulsion: Opposite magnetic poles attract each other, while matching poles repel. These continuous pulling and pushing force the internal coil to rotate.
(E) Electronic Attraction and Repulsion: In heat transfer between two fields, similar electronic circling directions attract, whereas opposing circling directions repel. These continuous pulling and pushing force the internal coil to rotate.
14.2. Essential Components of a DC Motor
To keep a motor spinning seamlessly without jamming, four key parts work togetherΒ [15]:
Stator: The stationary outer part containing permanent magnets that provide:
(M) a fixed magnetic field.
(E) a circling electronic field, see FigureΒ 1.
Rotor: The inner rotating loop of wire that carries:
(M) the electrical current that turns into an electromagnet.
(E) the electronic current that produces another circling electronic field.
Split-Ring Commutator: A rotating ring split into segments that reverse the currentβs direction every half-turn:
(M) This flips the electromagnetβs poles at the perfect moment to maintain continuous rotation in one direction.
(E) This flips the electronsβ circling directions at the perfect moment to maintain continuous rotation in one direction.
Brushes: Stationary carbon blocks that press against the spinning commutator to safely deliver electronic current from the power source.
15. Inertia-at-Rest and Inertia-in-Motion Form the Universe
Through the interaction of matterβs two intrinsic forces β inertia-at-rest () and inertia-in-motion () β the formation and evolution of the universe can be described:
A particle normally exists as a unity member, joining its to the concentrating pulling force (joint ) of the unity. When acted upon by a sufficient external (), the particle is displaced from the unity and becomes a free particle with . It then moves along the net force of its and , transferring the βs source through collisions with other particles. After exhausting its , the particle rejoins a unity, contributing its to the concentrating pulling force of the unity, once again as a unity member.
According to this unity model, the universe develops through repeated cycles of unity formation, particle release as heat transfer, and reintegration. The sequence is outlined below.
15.1. Base Particles and Base Unities
The Big Bang from the singularityΒ [17] have produced enormous nebulae composed of four base particlesΒ [4, 5, 6]:
proton (),
electron (),
neutrino (),
photon (),
listed in descending order of mass.
Joining or contributing each otherβs to a concentrating pulling force in an equilibrium:
An electron and a photon form the smallest electron unity (), with the more contributed electron as the unity centre, surrounded by the photon.
A proton and a neutrino form the proton unity (), with the more contributed proton as the unity centre, surrounded by the neutrino.
These two unities, () and (), are designated base unitiesΒ [4, 5, 6].
15.2. Formation of Nuclear Fusion Centre
Within a primordial nebula, due to the extreme density and temperature from the Big Bang, and the concentrating pulling force (the joint ) of the nebula, the composing base unities of () and () in the centre region began nuclear fusion, as soon as the conditions permit.
15.3. Formation of Nuclear Unities
In the nuclear fusion centre, the proton unities () and electron unities () participate in proton-proton chain reactionsΒ [18], forming nuclear unitiesΒ [4, 5, 6] in an equilibrium:
In a nuclear unity, as the most contributed particles, the protons () form the unity centre, surrounded by the neutrinos () and the electrons (), in which each pair of () appears as a neutron.
During this fusion process, free photons (), neutrinos (), and electrons () are released as heat carriers and their is transferred as throughout the surrounding environment.
Therefore, as proposed, the base particles and the unity model replace the currently defined elementary particles and the standard modelΒ [19], including strong force and quantum chromodynamicsΒ [20].
15.4. Formation of Atoms
Outside the fusion centre, every newly formed nuclear unity and a number () of electron unities contribute their to a concentrating pulling force of an atom unityΒ [4, 5, 6] in an equilibrium:
making the most contributed nuclear unity the unity centre, surrounded by the electron unities.
Hydrogen forms as the simplest atom unity, when a proton unity and an electron unity pull each other in an equilibrium:
where the more contributed proton unity becomes the unity centre, surrounded by the electron unity.
15.5. Beta Decay
In the previous nuclear fusion process, some nuclei are formed with more potential energy () and less sharing-energy (), hence unstable, easier to break into more energy-sharing (hence more stable) nuclei, while transferring out the excess-energy () as heat, in a later process called beta decayΒ [21].
In a beta decay process, an untraceable environmental free particle can easily break an unstable nuclear unity, so that the process is usually considered βspontaneousβ.
Beta decay happens in the following two categories:
A. Electron emissionΒ [21]. In an unstable nuclear unity, an untraceable external free particle breaks a neutron , causing one less neutron and one more proton:
The broken-free neutrino () carries its away to transfer heat. The broken-free electron ( or βpositronβ) also transfers heat by colliding with an outside electron unity (), producing a gamma ray or X-ray ( as heat) depending on the energy level:
B. Electron captureΒ [22]. In an atom, an untraceable external free particle energises an orbiting electron (), which subsequently breaks the unity of its unstable nucleus, forming a new unity with a proton, causing one less proton and one more neutron:
transferring out a free neutrino as heat.
So, I summarise and propose:
Beta decay is a process of heat transfer, through which unstable nuclei gradually break into stable ones.
In beta decays, electron emission breaks a neutron () into ; while electron capture is a reversal: .
Beta decay is also and in action: untraceable external () breaks free an electron and a neutrino () in electron emission or just a neutrino () in electron capture from an unstable nucleus unity, transferring out the particles with as heat, leaving a more stable nucleus unity (relatively more for its ). Thus, and replace weak forceΒ [4, 5, 6, 21].
As proposed before, the currently defined concept of electric charge, including a positively charged electron (positron)Β [23], is negated.
Furthermore, energy is a property of matter, hence carried by matter; and matterβs energy is scalar, not vectorΒ [4, 5, 6], negating the currently defined concepts of βantimatterβ, βpositronβ, βannihilationβ and βpure energyβΒ [23].
Therefore, positron is redefined as a high-energy electron and beta decays are re-categorised into electron emission and electron captureΒ [4, 6], instead of βnegative or minusβ and βpositive or plusβ.
15.6. Formation of Planetary Unities
After the formation of atoms, the atom unities in a group contribute their to a concentrating pulling force of a larger hierarchical (nesting) unity in an equilibrium:
Within the Moon, atom unities contribute their to the Moon unity, making the most contributed Moon itself the unity centre.
Likewise, all subordinate unities within Earth β including the Moon unity and other orbiting unities β contribute their to the Earth unity, making the most contributed Earth itself the unity centre.
15.7. Formation of the Solar System
Within the solar system, planetary unities and other orbiting unities collectively contribute to the concentrating pulling force of the Sun unity in an equilibrium, making the most contributed Sun itself the unity centre, surrounded by the subordinate planet unities.
The centres of the Sun and planets are also fusion centres from the early development of the system, as proposed in the Formation of Nuclear Fusion Centre. Nuclear fusion continues as long as sufficient proton unities () and electron unities () remain available as fuel.
The Sun retains enough fuel to continue this process for billions of years, whereas smaller unities have largely exhausted their available fuel.
15.8. Formation of Galaxies
Numerous stellar unities contribute to the concentrating pulling force of a galaxy unity in an equilibrium, making the most contributed stellar unity the unity centre.
Each stellar centre (such as the Sun) is also a nuclear fusion centre that continually fuses proton and electron unities, or heavier nuclear unities, into even heavier nuclear unities while releasing , , and as heat particles.
Different from the stellar centres, the galactic centre receives the infinitely strong concentrating pull and realises its to such an extreme that it can no longer release its as heat. As long as its total is greater than or equal to its total (), it evolves into a black hole, interpreted here as a physical singularityΒ [4, 5, 6].
15.9. Formation of the Universe
The universe started expansion from the original singularity of the Big BangΒ [17] when its total was greater than its total , expressed in its source energies:
causing each primordial nebula to move outward, creating new space, following a spiral trajectory determined by the net force of its and , around the centre (the origin) of the universe, but without collision. By now, as each nebula evolves into a galaxy, it still spirals outward around the centre of the universe with its and .
Thus, the universe continues the outward spiral until one of the galactic black holes β another singularity β explodes and expands in the existing universe, renewing that part of the universeΒ [4], and causing collisions between the existing galaxies and the new galaxies.
15.10. Summary
In this unity model, matter forms nested unities from base unities to the ultimate universe through its two fundamental forces: (as pulling force of weight or gravity, even causing the heavily concentrated nuclear fusion) and (as pushing force of released free particles which eventually rejoin their respective unities).
The universe is therefore interpreted as a hierarchy of nested unities linked by the continual exchange between concentrating pulling forces () and heat-transferring motion ().
15.11. Time and Space
Based on this unity model and my previous workΒ [24]:
Time is the evolution process of the universe, arising from the cumulative changes of matter from the Big Bang, which is defined as the universe time.
The cumulative changes of matter come from the cumulative heat transfers and reintegration from particles with and .
Matter that does not change cumulatively, such as base particles, base unities and atom unities (elements), is called timeless matter. Its rhythmic movements, such as the wave frequency of light absorbed or emitted when electrons in an atom jump between energy levels (orbitals), can be standardised into a precise second (s)Β [25], as a timer.
An object with its own heat transfers and reintegration, therefore, has its own time, which is defined as an object time, and can be quantified by a timer.
As time is cumulative, it can only move forward, not backward.
As a dimension must be bidirectional, the unidirectional time does not qualify as a dimension.
Space is wherever matter exists and moves.
As matter is three-dimensional, so is space.
Therefore, time and space are properties of matter, not physical entities, negating the currently defined space-timeΒ [26].
16. Conclusion
By re-examining Isaac Newtonβs concept of inertia, this paper proposes that matter has two fundamental, intrinsic forces from their respective source energies: inertia-at-rest (), a pulling force driven by sharing-energy (), and inertia-in-motion (), a pushing force driven by excess-energy ().
16.1. Weight, Gravity, and Unities
Matter expresses its sharing-energy () as a pulling force .
The collective of constituent particles forms a concentrating pulling force of hierarchical, nested structures called unities β from base particle combinations and atoms to planets, stellar systems, galaxies, and the universe.
Gravity and weight are redefined as manifestations of . A unity memberβs weight (W) or gravity (F) is its contribution () to the concentrating pulling force (joint ) of its unity directed toward the unity centre: . The most contributed unity member naturally becomes the unity centre.
The fundamental measurement of gravity or weight is the Breaking-point Method, in which the minimum pushing force of () required to break a unity memberβs measures its weight or gravity: .
16.2. Heat, Motion, and Energy Flow
Conversely, when acted upon by a sufficient external force (), a unity member is displaced to become a free particle carrying excess-energy () and expressing pushing force ().
Heat is redefined as the expressed by these free particlesβ , and radiation is generalised as the progressive transfer of through particle collisions.
Once their are fully dissipated, the free particles rejoin their respective unites, contributing their as unity members again.
Hence, free photons constitute photonic heat, free electrons constitute electronic heat, and gases, liquids, and solids transfer heat through the motion and interaction of their constituent particles.
16.3. Reinterpreting Physical Phenomena
Applying this dual-force mechanics offers alternative perspectives on several key physical concepts:
Current concepts of electric charge, magnetism, and electromagnetism are unified under electronic heat and electronismΒ [4, 5, 6], where magnetic and electromagnetic fields are reinterpreted as electronic fields composed of circling electron unities, nullifying the basis of electromagnetic theories.
Electric generators do not create energy from induction but function as electric transferors, moving heat from environmental sources to electronic heat.
The motor effect is caused by heat transfer between two electronic fields: fields with similar electronic circling directions attract, whereas fields with opposing circling directions repel.
A βquantumβ is described as a particle overcoming its binding (causing gravity or weight) to become free with a discrete and requiring sufficient to transfer heat effectively.
The base particles and the unity model are proposed to replace the currently defined elementary particles and the standard modelΒ [19], including strong force and quantum chromodynamicsΒ [20].
Energy is a property of matter and is scalar, negating the currently defined concepts of βantimatterβ, βpositronβ, βannihilationβ and βpure energyβΒ [23].
16.4. Cosmological Evolution
The continuous interplay between (pulling particles into concentrated unities) and (releasing free particles as heat before reintegration) governs the evolution of the universe.
Because matter forms and maintains its unities relative to its specific unity centre, these physical references supersede arbitrary observational frames and relativity.
Ultimately, this unity model offers a cohesive, ground-up explanation for physical structures, energy transfer, and cosmic evolution.
16.5. Time and Space
Time is the evolution process of the universe, arising from the cumulative changes of matter from the Big Bang, hence, can only move forward, not backward, not qualifying as a dimension.
Space is wherever matter exists and moves, as three-dimensional as matter.
Therefore, time and space are properties of matter, not physical entities, negating the currently defined space-timeΒ [26].
