1. The aetheron vs. the null net structural energy

Let us consider the concept of null net structural energy, which is crucial for the apprehension of the nature of elementary particles. In effect, it would be of high intellectual risk assuming that in order to exist everything must be energetic. The fact is that presently we are only able to detect energetic bodies, but this is our own limitation and it should not be projected on the whole Nature. So, it would be much arbitrary to consider that something without energy just cannot exist, and it happens to be much fruitful to assume that an aenergetic substrate is the source of matter.

Hence, our standpoint assumes that the energetic world has emerged from an underlaying aenergetic one, which constitutes the primordial source, commonly called aether. The physical concept of aether, which has been unfortunately abandoned by most due to an original misconception, differs from the abstract one of space-time which considers free space to be empty. We have called primordial matrix the specific substrate corresponding to the proposed type of aether composition, briefly defined as populated by virtual photons. Thus, free space is not regarded as being empty but embodied by null energy photons, that we have called aetheron or simply etheron, being these the source of all particles through excitation (photon and neutrino) and dissociation (electron and proton, etc.)

We are all familiarized with the correlation between energy and mass through the Einstein equation E=mc2. However we have also accepted that energy can exist without mass, E=hv, as for the photon. So, we have admitted that a physical energetic body without mass can exist. Here, we will go one step further assuming that physical bodies without mass but also without net structural energy can also exist, hence being in a virtual state. But, if unaccessible to detection then many of us will rather prefer to consider that they just do not exist. However, if aenergetic states do exist, then, is there any possibility to indirectly detect them?

In astrophysics non radiative physical bodies, thus undetectable in a direct way, are however intended to be detected through their gravitational interaction with radiative bodies, being these directly observable. A similar approach should be used to detect non energetic bodies. They should be detected through their interaction with energetic bodies, and more appropriately with weakly energetic ones. The wave function constitutes the vehicle of this type of interaction.

Yet, aenergetic bodies will not be approached straightforwardly but instead we will focus on the electron, considered to constitute a bridge between the aenergetic and energetic worlds. In effect, the electron, in spite of being an entity belonging to the energetic world, is however characterized by two energy components, one of which is null and thus belongs to the aenergetic substrate. The formulation of the total rest energy of the electron is: E = T + V, where T expresses its structure dynamical energy and V expresses that any charged particle has a potential energy with respect to its neutral original system. The potential energy V derives from the dissociation energy of the initial dual system (c+,c-) from which proceeds the electron (c-). In other terms, it expresses the fact that the electron has always a potential energy of 0.51 MeV with respect to its counterpart of positive charge (c+) and vice versa. In the Cosmos, the negative charge has lead to the electron but the positive charge has evolved differently leading instead to the proton. Their difference stands in a different quantization path of the structural orbital (c-) and (c+) associated to each charge, due to the different respective orientation of their spin and magnetic moments.

Within the orbital conception of elementary particles, the electron and the proton may be considered to form an asymmetrical tandem since they have followed different cosmological paths, leading to our asymmetrical world, basically composed by these sole two stable particles. The free neutron is conceived as constituting an ephemeral superposition of the structuring orbitals of the electron and the proton, in which the heavy proton preserves its structure and acts as a core while the light electron looses its structural identity to turn into a shell wrapping the proton. The nuclear neutron does not really exist since in the nucleus the neutrons shell gets dislocated, being shared among all nuclear protons. The dislocated shells of nuclear neutrons act as bonding elements, similarly to the covalent and metallic bonds.

The electron rest energy of 0.51 MeV, being considered to be a potential energy with respect to the original dual neutral system, this implies thus that its structural energy component T must be null. This is the reason that makes the electron structural orbital undetected and considered instead as punctual. In the electron the dynamics of its structural orbital is totally converted into magnetic moment, without any massive orbital component. In other words, the electron mass rises exclusively from the potential energy associated to its previous dissociation from its tandem opposite charge.

2. The Physics Renaissance Cosmology

Photons are considered to represent the archetype of long range carriers, thanks to their intrinsic speed due to the lack of mass. In fact, the photon structure is considered to exhibit four different states. The neutrino would be a photon of spin 1/2. The eventual graviton would also be a photon of spin 2. We have also included another type of photon, the etheron of spin 0. These four states, etheron (S=0), neutrino (S=1/2), photon (S=1) and graviton (S=2), would constitute a family of long range carriers with intrinsic speed, in which the etheron would represent the most fundamental state or ground state.

Thus, space may be considered to be populated by etherons. These may dissociate into their two constituents, punctual electric charges of opposite sign. When free, each charge acquire an intrinsic structural orbital. Each specific orbital quantization defines a specific particle. In the evolution of the Universe the two opposite charges have followed a different path leading to different structural quantizations, respectively corresponding to the electron and the proton.

The proton role stands in acting as a core thanks to its heavy mass, while the electron role stands instead in acting as a shell, whose null net dynamical energy makes it suitable to be captured and shared by heavy cores, consequently acting as short range bonding element. The short range of strong and weak interactions is due to the fact that they derive from the direct interaction between the structural orbital of particles or nuclei.

In short and expressing it in symbolical cosmological terms, the role commended to the proton is to act as a heavy core. Instead, the electron commended role is to act as a bonding shell allowing the nuclear structure and at a different scale the atomic structure, which respective archetypes are represented by the neutron and the H atom. Finally, the commended role of the etheron family (constituted by the four states S=0, 1/2, 1 and 2) is to act as long range carriers. Let us stress that the whole Cosmos is built with these sole orbital structures, i.e. the (c+,c-) in the etheron, neutrino, photon and graviton states, the (c+) in the proton state and the (c-) in the electron state.
