VORTICLES

"Particles" do not exist as separate entities within this universe. What we have been calling "particles" are centers of vortices of nether which extend, in actuality to infinity. These vortices are maintained by the pressure difference between the nether and the vacuum at the center of each of them. The pressure difference furnishes the energy necessary to maintain the vortex and the vortex creates the centrifugal force necessary to keep the vacuum accessible. We believe that the word "vorticle" should be used henceforth in lieu of the word "particle". Vorticles have a number of distinguishing properties which follow.

1.     Each has a vacuum at its center.

2.     Each is driven by the energy furnished by the pressure difference between the vacuum and surrounding nether.

3.     Each extends to infinity which means that its influence extends to infinity.

4.     Each has gyroscopic properties which include intrinsic angular momentum.

5.     Each has a "mouth" into which the nether flows.

6.     Each tends to orient its mouth in the direction from which local nether flow is coming.

7.     When traveling, the relative direction of local nether flow is usually the opposite of the vorticle's direction of travel.     So each tends to orient its mouth toward its direction of travel.

8.     When oriented by external forces, each moves in the direction in which its mouth is pointed.

9.     Each is always in motion.

10.     No two can exist in the same place at the same time.

11.     No two occupy the same quantum state in a structure at the same time (caused by the way their extended motions affect one another).     This leads to what is called W. Pauli's exclusion principle.

12.     In the process of detection, either or both of a vorticle's local or extended motions must be tapped.     This, in turn, alters its motion.     So we cannot see what it is doing by normal physical methods.     This leads to what is called the Heisenberg uncertainty principle.
