Physics has long relied on the concept of point particles interacting through forces. This framework has achieved predictive success, but it leaves fundamental questions unresolved.
Quarkbase Cosmology proposes a structural shift: physical reality is geometric. What are called “particles” are volumetric compactations of a physical vacuum.
Point particles have no volume, no internal structure, and no physical mechanism to support observed properties such as inertia or interaction strength.
These difficulties are resolved when particles are replaced by finite volumetric structures.
A compactation is a stable organization of the physical vacuum. It has volume, internal structure, and geometric extent.
The smallest stable compactation is the neutrino quarkbase (N=1). All higher physical entities are assemblies of such compactations.
Mass, charge, spin, and interaction behavior are not intrinsic attributes. They emerge from the geometry and organization of compacted vacuum.
Different geometries produce different effective properties, without introducing new fundamental entities.
If physical entities are geometric structures, interactions arise from how these structures deform the surrounding vacuum.
No exchange particles are required at the fundamental level. Interaction is continuous, geometric, and mediated by the vacuum itself.
The same geometric principles govern neutrino oscillations, atomic structure, and galactic dynamics.
There is no ontological break between microphysics and cosmology.
This geometric perspective underlies the unification described in:
Unified physics from vacuum compactation
Replacing particles with geometry is not a reinterpretation. It is a correction.
Physical reality is volumetric, continuous, and structured. Quarkbase Cosmology makes this explicit.
