The size of the shortest wave depends and is determined by the speed
of light


"c = 1/sqr(Uo*Ep)... where Uo is the permeability and Ep is the
permittivity for free space" --- Michael Wales

The only reason this relationship holds true is because the speed of
light (and of all electromagnetic phenomena) is determined at the
aether level. It remains constant in all frames because it is not
dependent on a coordinate system like matter with mass is.

Since ratios like permeability and permittivity are determined at
the aether level, and the aether is immaterial and not bound by
spacetime laws, c has to be frame independent.

The speed of light sets the scales, and because mass is physically
finite there are time dilations and length contractions in relation
to other inertial frames. This is where the principle of relativity
and the principle of equivalency come from.

There isn't an absolute time because there is no preferred frame,
the aether is immaterial. Materially speaking, the Universe is
background free.

[quote from " Higher-dimensional algebra and Planck scale physics "
by John C. Baez, as it appeared on the book " Physics Meets
Philosophy at the Planck Scale " by Craig Callender and Nick Nugget]

"...quantum field theory says that associated with any mass m there
is a length called its Compton wavelength, lc, such that determining
the position of a particle of mass m to within one Compton
wavelength requires enough energy to create another particle of that
mass. Particle creation is a quintessentially
quantum-field-theoretic phenomenon. Thus, we may say that the
Compton wavelength sets the distance scale at which quantum field
theory becomes crucial for understanding the behaviour of a particle
of a given mass. On the other hand, general relativity says that
associated to any mass m there is a length called the Schwarzschild
radius, ls, such that compressing an object of mass m to a size
smaller than this results in the formation of a black hole. The
Schwarzschild radius is roughly the distance scale at which general
relativity becomes crucial for understanding the behaviour of a
given mass. Now, ignoring some numerical factors, we have:

lc = hbar/mc

and

ls = Gm/c^2

These two lengths become equal when m is the Planck mass. And when
this happens, they both equal the Planck length! " --- John C. Baez

Most scientists agree with Planck in that quanta are the smallest
measurable energy amount or quantum of action, and that Planck's
constant 'h' relates the energy in one quantum of electromagnetic
radiation to the frequency of that radiation. That all of matter's
spectral properties and patterns can be explained in terms of exact
multiples of a basic minimum value, and that thanks to the
determination of 'h', we now can conceive order at the quantum
mechanical level. Most also agree with de Broglie in that every
object in motion would move in a wave and is accompanied by a wave,
also that he showed that electrons traverse an integral number of
wavelengths for each complete orbit of an atom and that the
quantization and structure of quanta will always depend on the
properties of their source and the objects with which they interact.

Quanta are measurable amounts of cycling spacetime. In reality there
aren't any vibrating point particles, as Heisenberg properly and
adeptly assumed, it's more like wavefronts... or membranes. A
quantum of action (quanta) appears as a very small region of
randomly fluctuating, process independent object.

There are no point particles, a point particle must be internally
static, with no internal time, and that is not possible. Points
don't even occupy space, they don't really exist, the point is only
a mathematical convenience. Each particle, even the smallest, is in
constant internal motion, each is the product of an internal
instability. Each particle possesses its own internal time - for
this reason it is not possible to get rid of all uncertainties at a
spacetime level.

Planck's constant is closely related to a particle's wave-length and
from where particle complementarity and the non-commutativity
between momentum and position emerged as properties of space and
matter and as proof of the inseparability of quantum processes.
Momentum and position don't commute because you can't be stopped and
moving at the same time.

The fundamental particle must then be a small spherical region of
pulsating spacetime whose diameter equals one Planck length.
Material space (as opposed to empty space) must be made of them, it
is spacetime's background, a sea of randomly fluctuating particles.

Material space is grainy, it is quantum matter, and each grain has
its own internal motion or cycle.

According to Timothy Boyer, material space is constituted by at
least two different spectrums. One is noisy and expanding, while the
other is self-organized and condensing. One exhibits negative
gravitation, the other, positive gravitation. From one material
space is created, from the other, matter.

Matter waves are constantly flowing inwards into matter, while heat
and light flow away from matter. There is a continuos condensation
and expansion of the substrate taking place. As objects are
accelerated in a space-time metric, each new position creates a new
energy requirement from the continuum.

Material space is made from information bits, matter precursors, a
pre-geometry made of process independent units of information which
exist in chaos and are ordered by logic and activity into spacetime.
But for natural reasons, i.e. energy conservation laws, everything
that comes into spacetime must be perceived and energetically
measured before it can materialize. There has to be a measuring
device sensing the particle's location and momentum in relation with
the rest of that inertial frame of reference before it can
crystallize as the information that constitutes it flows radially
from hyperspace towards its center in spacetime. But this measuring
device isn't some external being, it is the Universe itself. Each
particle senses each other and their relation to space, building an
information network filled with geometrical relationships
(spacetime), which are in turn used as the future is built on the
already existing information. Information is created and preserved
in matter (i.e., DNA).

Particles in spacetime perceive, select, and integrate into their
state wave function only that information which is important or
useful to them.

The observer, in present theory, must then refer to any object that
is able to interpret environmental information brought to it by EM
waves. Observation/measurement with the only purpose of establishing
the particle's spatial and energetic parameters (speed, size,
density...) in that inertial frame. The particle must first be in
thermal equilibrium with its surroundings before it can exist as
matter in spacetime, and that's a law!

Von Neumann was right when he said that the evolution of the
Schrodinger wave could only depend on quantum mechanical
observables - implying that this information can only come from
spacetime - counting the observer (mind) as an efficacious agent -
the theory considers brains to be measuring instruments. The only
reason human brains entered the equation was that, as they observed
and perceived light (EMR) coming from the particle, information
about momentum and location, which is vital to maintain energy
conservation laws, became known to the particle/system allowing it
to complete the feedback control loop and continue to condense.

Particle complementarity is due to an indivisible process which
originates in a common background, but the only information being
transferred (through EMR) from the aether to the particles is that
concerning momentum and location in relation with that inertial
frame and the rest of Universe. There is no need for some mega
information storage system which must contain the history of the
Universe, all the information needed for the evolution of the system
in spacetime is contained by the system itself - in spacetime.

According to Mach and others, motion by all objects within the
Universe is instantaneously reported through inertial space. As a
particle senses other particles it completes the information
exchange, realizing the spatial relationships between particles and
space that is needed to collapse the wave packet from hyperspace as
it crystallizes into spacetime. Perception is a very old natural
function of matter not some exclusive human ability.

Contradict me if you can.
