A cohesive theory of everything from quantum physics and gravity to black holes and inertia. The theory hinges upon the existence of a single oscillating particle and the scalable forces created by the mass it governs. This hypothesis suggests that light and electromagnetism are the flow of a bipolar pair of these particles in resonance; while electrons and photons are discreet groups of this charge. Using this theory, everything is explicable, from...
