TFNR - Ordinary (visible) Matter

In conventional physics, we find very different definitions of "ordinary matter": everything made of quarks and leptons, or composed of any elementary fermions except antiquarks and antileptons", or anything that has mass and volume (occupies space), etc. From the concept of "ordinary matter", therefore, are excluded the forms of matter that we could define as "exotic", or "strange", and antimatter, since they are not components, building blocks of the matter we are made of, of the atoms and molecules that make up everything we see in the Universe.

In the model we propose here, under the meaning of Ordinary Matter we include all the Matter composed of Vortex-type Infostructures, elementary, composite and complex that exist naturally or are artificially produced in our laboratories. We therefore include all Particles of Matter, those that conventional physics calls ordinary, of all three generations, all exotic particles, antimatter, etc. In essence, all Infostructures endowed with Mass (negative and positive). We call it "Ordinary" to distinguish it from the Dark one, even if, as already said, it would be more correct to name these two classes as Invisible Matter (the Dark one) and Visible Matter (the Ordinary one)

These are compact/concentrated/condensed structures with high mass density (characterized by high intensity of the Perturbation Component), elementary particles of ordinary and exotic matter (such as that produced in colliders, in the high-energy interactions of cosmic rays, in the nuclei of stars, neutron stars, etc.), particles (Vortices) that, interacting, can aggregate in composite structures, Mixed physical structures and in more complex physical Forms.

Here we resume a simplified list, which represents a bridge between the high-level classification proposed here with the nomenclature of conventional physics:

• Elementary ordinary (visible) Matter Vortices
  • Elementary fermions
    • Leptons and antileptons (electron, muon, tauon, electron neutrino, muon neutrino, tau neutrino)
    • Quarks and antiquarks (up, down, charm, strange, top, bottom)
• Composite ordinary (visible) Matter Vortices (nucleons: protons, neutrons, mesons, etc.) are the result of the interaction of several elementary structures.
  • Baryons (a type of hadronic composite subatomic particle that contains an odd number of valence quarks, conventionally three, for example protons and neutrons)
  • Mesons (a type of hadronic subatomic particle composed of an equal number of quarks and antiquarks, usually one of each, bound together by the strong interaction, for example pions, kaons, eta mesons)
• Complex ordinary (visible) Matter Vortices (the result of the interaction of composite ordinary/visible matter vortices)
  • Atomic nuclei (small and dense cluster of protons and neutrons that is found at the center of an atom)
  • Quasiparticles (effective particles that exist in many particle systems, for example excitons, phonons, plasmons, polaritons, skyrmions)

In this and the following sections concerning Ordinary Matter I will limit myself to a few brief references to this incredibly large and complex matter which finds in the Standard Model of Particles, in Quantum Mechanics and even more in Quantum Field Theory the theoretical framework of reference which classifies all known elementary particles, describes their interactions and three of the four known fundamental forces (electromagnetic, weak and strong interaction).

Precisely because of the vastness and complexity of the topic, I will provide only a few more relevant notes, referring to the already mentioned substantial theoretical framework. The work that, in my opinion, will be necessary to carry out will be to reformulate the existing theories in terms of Dynamics of Elementary Action in the context of the broader framework proposed by the evolutionary model of description of Physical Reality, which in this work I am trying to present.

A trivial consideration concerns the term "Visible" that I put next to the term "Ordinary" (whose meaning, as we said, differs from that attributed to it in the context of conventional physics). Visible for Particles / Vortices means precisely visible, "that can potentially be seen". It is evident that a particle can be seen, identified, measured provided that it emits some radiation observable to the naked eye or more frequently through a detection instrument. Generally, electromagnetic radiation. But today, also gravitational radiation, even if this type of emission is not exclusive to Ordinary Matter, but, theoretically, can be emitted by Dark Matter (even if at wavelengths and internalities that at the current state make it undetectable with the instruments available and probably also with those being developed). To electromagnetic and gravitational radiation we also add what is conventionally called radiation, incorrectly in my opinion, which concerns cosmic rays made up of accelerated particles (electrons, protons, neutrinos, other "exotic" particles).

And where do we find this Ordinary (visible) Matter? Like Dark Matter, everywhere, obviously. Although there are regions, even very large ones (giant voids), with very low densities of Ordinary Matter,the Universe is full of Ordinary Matter. Infinite Universe, infinite quantity of Ordinary Matter. And, since we have outlined a creative and evolutionary Universe, where new Matter is incessantly generated through complex formative processes (new Dark Matter that incessantly organizes itself in the Dynamics of the Elementary Field and the Elementary Action that animates it, new Ordinary Matter that is formed through the friction of the large Dark Vortex Structures, where it tends to concentrate and form more or less stable structures such as galaxies, clusters, etc.), to this infinity of Ordinary Matter, in every instant new Matter is added that, according to various evolutionary processes, aggregates and gradually forms larger and more complex structures. Endless Creation and Evolution. Of Action, Of Information. Of Information Structures. Of Forms... of the Universe as a whole.
