Any quantum physicists in the house? - If you understand gyroscopes, centrifugal forces, and this "Bizarre Behavior of Rotating Bodies, (Explained)", then, perhaps this fundamental yet rational 'quirk' might also apply to subatomic particles. PLEASE lemme know.

And how about that space ether, some kind of universal field?

It's all so abstract and theoretical that while it sounds nice I can't buy in all the way.

I know they're trying to unite the electro-magnetic, gravity, space-time, and thermo-dynamics into one thing.

I could only hope it's as simple as particles flipping on another axis for a weaker effect.

There are different theories about some kind of universal field.

The official ones try define universal fields in different dimensions, likes the Higgs field, which somehow magically projects onto normal the 3D world. These dimensions are necessary to put both quantum mechanics and gravity in the same mathematical system. Generally the idea is that every dimension is responsible for a certain force or behaviour. Personally I think it is overcomplicated.

Old theories were about aether (static or dynamic), but I don't think they are correct either. Most scientists stopped testing all possible variants, and stayed with Einstein's relativity. I will make a post about that, so more people can join in that discussion.

In aether theories we see ideas about spin and/or vortices that are responsible for particles or similar things. Mainstream theories are more limited to spin or similar attributes. In superstring theory particles are more like vibrations of strings.

I don't think you understand QFT. It is one, if not the, most successful theories we have ever devised.

It is both the best and the worst theory, mostly based on statistics.

You're BOTH right, imo.
