Abstract:  The Lego Theory of Particle Physics raises the 
Hypothesis that all matter is composed of only one 
fundamental particle.  This particle is called... uhh... 
hmmm...  Well, let's call it the "Legotrino" for now.

This legotrino particle is sort of like a single lego that
can be snapped into a couple of different ways and from
there more combinations can be developed yielding different
particles.

It is probably polar for example, and cubifiable under 
immense pressures doing a lot of its snapable forms possibly 
there.  Under different gravitational conditions its 
snapability would vary slightly perhaps giving different 
other particle geometry.

So now we have to go beyond and beneath the SNOT standard 
model and..  and uh.. regroup from there.  to see if any of 
these ideas are capable of maintaining any viability.

ummm...  how do you get different generated fields from a
lego set?  joe is intrigued by the concept, he just doesn't 
know what he can do with it...

The Legotrino!  Give your kid a legotrino set for Christmas!

Let him build his own universes!  

Give him a 'take charge' attitude!

Let him design his own particles!

Create anti-gravity systems!

Teach him fundamental creation 101!

These sets all contains small parts.  Not suitable for small

               A Periodic Chart of Particles!

Abstract:  Being imperiously presumptive, joe tries to put 
together a series of particles built up from the proffered 
legotrino in an effort to catalog all the snot particles of 
decades ago, genuflecting in front of the Quark and Hadron 
and even tipping the hat to the Higgs Boson, all the while 
maintaining that the whole shebang is just like the bigger 
periodic chart of protons, neutrons and electrons.  Only in 
this case it is the photon, neutrino, and the electrino.

Now, can it be done?

How many particles in our periodic chart of particles can 
our imaginative theory of primary legotrinos construct?
or explain? or create? or discover?

The issue of whether the single lego particle approach is 
even valid within the context of reality, of course, goes 
without saying.  This is tinkertoy theoretical particle 
physics here, based on daydreaming, but there should be 
enough ancient data floating around at CERN and other places 
to support a cursatory examination of the prospective 
validity of the effort.

Of course, i don't know how much of a boost the original 
periodic chart got when it started out in someones mind.

Is the earth still flat in particle physics land?

Assuming a quantum particle, what do two of them stuck 
together make?  Three?  Four?  Five?  Six? and so forth.

And to make matters even worse, say we stick two quantum 
particles together.  What is emmitted therefrom upon their 
joining forces?  A yet smaller resonance/particle?  But i 
thought we at the bottom of our particle toy box?  Just how 
little does little get?

Let us consider the single theoretical 'legotrino' for a 
second.  What we have here is a resonant furball of quantum 
smallness.  Inside the volume of the resonance a foam exists 
that is 'pulsating' or resonating if you prefer.  Joe really 
doesn't know what is going on inside the quantum bit of 
mass, but something is, otherwise it wouldn't be mass.

The playtoy called pufferballs would be a pretty good 
candidate for a model of quantum resonance.  The tiny spikes 
would represent the path of something or other that is 
flying along inside the quantum mass at a certain unfolded 
velocity according to a certain temperature.

Now the back and forth 'resonance' of a single particle we 
can analogize to a musical note.  So it is humming along at 
some diameter d, bouncing back and forth at some frequency 
f.

                       a valve opens

All of a sudden, (very sudden as a matter of fact) another 
pufferball happens by, and is attracted to the developed 
polar nature of the pufferball particle and zonks to it.  
And with the zonking a small amount of voltage (mass) is 
released to accommodate the new twosome.
                                        
So now we have two pufferballs are polarly stuck together 
but the resonant path length has doubled, or almost doubled, 
so now our musical note has dropped in frequency because the 
path has doubled but the temperature (energy level) remains
the same.  The resonant frequency has halved or almost so
because it is traveling almost twice the distance now.

A third pufferball (legotrino) happens by and now there are 
three stuck together.  path lenghtens again, now we have a 
'times three' situation and resonant f drops appropriately

                            BUT

Every time the legotrino's link up we have to subtract the 
minus interlocking distance from the diameters of the 
legotrinos.

Further, wrap, self knotting, and self linking, might occur.  
That is, the legotrinos might be loose enough linked so that 
they could bend back and attach themselves to the front of 
the chain.  So we could have pentalegotrinos, 
sexalegotrinos, heptalegotrinos, and so on...

In fact, perhaps, even long stringy chains of legotrinos 
could develop somewhat like 'carbon chains' and even 
structures of a particle nature similar to those constructed 
by the massively upscaled carbon atoms.  There is just no 
way to tell how the little dust particles will clod up

Now, if all this wasn't goofy enough, the strings of 
'massless' legotrino could conceivable form to many light 
years long end to end.  weird...  Consider, a universe of 
threads.

From here on up, it is anyone's guess as to how things form 
or link up.  Or if the legotrino concept fails, and the 
quark concept stands, then perhaps a pentaquark, hexaquark, 
heptaquark might exist as well as the fundamental quark 
structures of some type or another.

Personally, i think quark energies are too high.  i would 
look for connecting or linking mass objects around the 1 to 
3 mv range as the current candidate for the solitary quantum 
particle if it in fact, even exists.

But even my own guesswork indicates a never ending path to 
smallness in particles (see below).  Perhaps the new 
colliders will shower us with some real tinies.

                            But

What about the electrino squirt-a-way that escaped when we 
joined the legotrinos together?  voltage anyone?

So anyhow the humongous mothership be-bop was trying to 
communicate to airhead mankind the fundamental particle 
properties by using musical resonances to establish resonant 
realities.

Alas, most thought it was just a song.

In mankind's defense however, it may turn out yet that there 
are only three notes of different colors plus some other 
maybe garbage.

time for joe's nap
