I'm not the first one to raise this question. I read in a book Lorentz was the first to argue in favor of electromagnetic nature all matters and particles. Yes, the same Lorentz who did n't get any credit for his transformation equations used by Einstein in his Special Relativity. But Lorentz was too wrapped up with the then controversial 'existence of ether', and didn't explain much about this electromagnetic idea. <br /><br /><br />In my unproven guess, particles, electrons, protons, neutrons, etc. may be formed by a complicated interference or phenomena (still unknown to us) of many electromagnetic waves (photons). The reasons for my guess are : <br /><br /><br />1) Electromagnetic waves have eletric and magnetic fields as if some charge is associated with them. A complicated interactions of many waves may result an electric field with only one direction, just as a negative or a positive charge do. <br /><br /><br />2) Appearance of 'c' in the equation E=mc<sup>2</sup>. What do speed of electromagnetic waves have to do with rest mass and rest energy of matters unless matter is electromagnetic? <br.><br /><br />Even if everything is electromagnetic, it'll take 1000 years to verify the notion. Some physics faculty or grad student may want to look into this topic. I'd appreciate, if anyone wants to direct me to any website on this subject.</br.> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <font size="2" color="#ff0000"><strong>Earth is Boring</strong></font> </div>
