About this listen

The purpose of this version of the book is that I can afford to hire a narrator to make an Audible edition of the book for promotional purposes. A lot of people would rather just listen to a book these days, but I cannot afford to hire someone to narrate the whole original book at this time. By raising funds this way to eventually narrate the whole book, and for other languages, it also buys me time to complete some Finite Element Method computer modeling for regions around atomic nuclei, complete some experiments that I can afford to do, continue editing, and allow me to also search for additional supportive material.

A fatal flaw in the most fundamental model of nature has been overlooked for so long that many people do not question it. The transverse wave model of photons has failed at almost every prediction its proponents made. And the proof of its validity as a model for photons has failed to consider that longitudinal waves accomplish the same thing in most experiments. Don't ignore the inconvenient facts that oppose your model.

Extraordinary claims demand evidence, not excuses or waving off the explanation to another dimension or particle. Dark energy is based on the apparent redshift of most of the visible universe, and since transverse wave photons have no apparent mechanism to become red-shifted, the conclusion made was that the entire universe must be expanding, and dark energy must be the cause. Despite the failed experiments for the transverse wave photon model, and inconvenient facts like that of longitudinal density waves behaving in a similar manner in experiments.
Longitudinal waves also experience gap diffraction and produce the same electrical-magnetic profile if you consider varying density, where a longitudinal wave with an elliptical profile is polarizable. These were supposed to be the unique key proofs that photons had to be transverse waves.

More importantly, they spread out naturally, as you can't keep a longitudinal wave focused so that is does not disperse. And thus, they become red-shifted naturally. No need for dark energy, an expanding universe, and no big bang. Add to that the varying density, and you automatically get the observed photoelectric effect, and no UV Catastrophe. In contrast, the transverse wave model failed at predicting the photoelectric effect and ended up with the UV Catastrophe.

As a bonus, you get an entirely new physical model for electrons and positrons, and it looks like a physical explanation for their electrical properties. And with that, answers to many questions that others failed to realized this path could lead to. Potential physical explanations with no need to defer an answer to another particle or dimension.

The Higgs field and mechanism become a moot point since the effect is a natural part of longitudinal density-wave behavior, and the Higgs particle is not necessary. The discovery of the Higgs particle is at best the mistaken identity of a particle that is around the right corrected-guestimated mass, but not what they claim to have discovered. See the book The Higgs Fake by Alexander Unzicker.

The James Webb Space Telescope will simply reveal more galaxies.

Einstein considered the same path to a solution to the problems he saw, but he was actually discouraged by others to follow this line of reasoning and where it might lead. The "ghost waves" lead to a mechanical solution to various mysteries he pondered.
