Is high frequency EM radiation responsbile for what we sense as "solid matter"?
I was just thinking about this lately..There is a whole range of EM radiation. As the frequencies go up, so does the energy levels.
Radio, then light, then UV, then X-rays, then Gamma rays, then cosmic rays, and beyond?? Each with a smaller wavelength, and higher energy level, capable of penetrating right through more and more matter. Eventually, this energy could probably go right through a large celestial body (cosmic rays?)
If these high frequency rays form standing waves, then maybe this is what we refer to as matter, and why we can convert matter to energy and vice versa.
If we speculate that gravity is caused by these rays, maybe the idea of a gravity sheild is possible...maybe this is what is happening at the core of the earth? And why its so hot? Cosmic rays being concentrated there?
These are speculations, but its an interesting line of thought.
Any creative answers/thoughts?
