***************************************
First let's take a little look on the concepts and the knowledge we must agree to use: Like a story.
There must exist a small particle that form all things in the universe. Is this particle the electron? No. Is this particle quark? No. Is it the photon? No again. So what is this particle? First we must agree that is exists. That has to be logical. We all know that in a nuclear fusion reaction, the nucleus experience some loose in mass, which is released as radiation. I am not going to talk about that, I believe everyone knows it. What is real interesting here is that, it is not cleared of what happens when the mass transforms into energy. The real practical phenomenon that happen.
In modern laboratories is normal to swap from electromagnetic waves to a small body This is natural for physicists.Even recognizing in microscopic view elements have a different behavior. If an element can be transformed into another in such a way that is possible to reverse the process, we have a physical transformation, which is known. In physical transformation, the initial element is not lost, but in general it just change its shape. If it is possible to swap from electromagnetic waves to a small compound mass body, that mean they are made up with the same element, the difference is about the shape.
This is interesting, it means that electromagnetic waves are in fact made of the same material as the rest of bodies. Well this is known too. So what am I doing here? I haven't said anything new. Well, that is right. In fact I haven't finished saying things that are already known. One thing I have learned is, if one wants to to be well understood, it has to get the listener, in this specific case the reader, deeper into the matter under discussion. You must take you time to read so you will be able to get your point of view. If you don't understand, I better don't listen to what you'll say. This was just a break.
We all know that give energy to an electron, it get excited and become unstable. This act of getting an electron excited, increases its mass. But wait...How do we give energy to an electron? One way is to bomb it with radiation, which can be X-Rays, heat or even the sun light can manage to excite an electron, the effects on it, depends of its initial energy... wait again... we give energy, it increases its mass, that mean that somehow this energy gets stuck around the electron, and it still the same electron. It's known that an electron can be free, can be in any layers around a nucleus, what determines is the difference is energy that it possesses. Well we are now in position to say: what determines is the difference is mass that it possesses.
An excited electron in unstable, is unstable because it tends to loose that excess of energy. This energy is spread out by the electron in form of radiation. Energy stuck on the electron and increases its mass, in the atom inner layer or outer layer, freed, anywhere the electron have same characteristics differing only in amount of mass. So can we say: an electron is like a flour ball, were the flour represents the energy particles? Oh yes, I guess we can.
Now I invite you to imagine a flour ball. It can be undone, a four ball can take many forms, but thinking on a floouur balll, it is too jumbled to think that it can be stable. We can think that the energy particles form some kind of small stable structure, in turn this can be arranged to form directly the electron or a second and a third complex structure that forms the electron at the end. This last thought seems to more reasonable. If we think that we have protons and neutrons, the series of small simple to complex structures can lead us more complex structures as protons and neutrons. Quarks are for sure ones structures of these energy particles or simple: energy.
The previous idea only is useful if can be used to explain a certain number of phenomenons.
What must be understood is if energy particles form everything and are the smallest elements that exist, they can not be studied individually, this energy can not be imprisoned any where because every material is continuously changing them with the neighborhoods. This comes from classical the definition of equilibrium "same come, same go".
This particles are everywhere, there is no vacuum, they are between electrons, atoms, molecules, in the air, between, planets, between galaxies, they form the black matter in the universe. They are spread with specific density but, as stars and planets like Earth, establish an atmosphere, this particles a getting concentrated that means, they are disappearing from free space. There is another situation, if these particles form electromagnetic waves, so they a being spread out by the stars in form of heat and others types of radiations. We see here some way of keeping the equilibrium.
Electromagnetic Waves: To guide certain among of water through water, this among must have a different characteristic with the surrounding (e.g. at the ocean, there are
hot running that can have kilometers of length).
If electromagnetic waves travel through space, they are not exactly made up with basic form of energy, they must be an elevated degree of complexity. This can be true if we remember what was
said at the beginning: some laboratories had succeeded swap from electromagnetic waves to matter and to build very complex structures (like an electron) directly from basic form of energy
ain't that easy.
Electromagnetic waves are just another form of energy, yes.
The concentration of energy gives rise to some kind of matter properties, just like powder or smoke into the air. If wind blows, we can see a mass of powder going all to one direction, like a semi-compact body. (Break) Well I believe at this stage we have the same understanding of energy used in this report. This energy is at specific concentration, it's not exactly like powder but gas, and it is everywhere. Thinking about powder or smoke, we visualize something that is first compact and with the time it spreads. This energy as no place to spread for, keeping the shape, it is everywhere. Hope you got this sense, it is important to agree with this point "it is everywhere".
Increase Mass: What do laboratories do when want to increase energy or mass of an electron? Simple, they accelerate the particle. Now I invite you to use your imagination: move your hand into the air as fast as you can, you feel that air is being dislocated. Moving something into a filled space, depending on speed, slower motion: the material that fills the volume will smoothly open the way, just like when we take our finger into water or sand. That occurs in the air too -two bodies can not fill the same space-, but when speed is increased, the filling material can not be fast enough to go along with the inbody, like being compressed, the material bends. Face a bowling ball in your hands, over a swimming pool, if you let it fall slowly into the water it goes in slowly and smoothly but throw it hard, can be seen the water bending just like being pushing by the ball, like air does with planes snout. The surrounding material, that bends, acts like a barrier for inbody movement. An empty space, filled with flour just like smoke, throw in a flour ball some grain will glue on the ball's surface ( think about a rolling snow ball ), increasing it's volume and mass. This is exactly what happens when an electron is accelerated. The energy particles in suspension glue on electron's surface increasing its energy. At normal situation energy swaps occurs all the time, but equilibrium is established with same amount goes in and out. The accumulated energy in front of the electron makes the number of entering energy greater than coming out. As energy increases, volume increases and surface increases too, given much surface to change energy with neighborhoods. This means much energy is swapped. This situation goes until a new equilibrium point is reached. Well, as we can see energy can increase for ever.
Power of energy: X-Rays, one of the most penetrating, comes from a fraction of energy released by electrons. This energy is just a fraction comparing with electron's mass. If we could make an electron explode, imagine the amount of energy we could get from it.
