The trouble with the present paradigm began with
the Ancient Greek Philosophers' secret answer "No"
to the unasked question "Is matter compressible".
THAT is the reason they created the theory that Matter
is made of particles traveling in an otherwise empty space.
Although atoms do exist and are particles, they are made
of the same kind of COMPRESSIBLE matter that fills each
of them and the spaces between them too.
Accordingly, the strongest link in the present paradigm,
the kinetic atomic theory, is itself the "weakest link" of all
present models.

Once that is known, it becomes rather easy to work out the
mechanisms of gravity, light, quanta, and everything else that
exists in the universe.

Exactly.

I think it is conceptually clearer to name the 'compressible' and to
describe matter and aether as states of it. I have named it mæther.
Matter is compressed mæther and aether is uncompressed mæther.

Personally, I think it is conceptually clearer to name flatworms and
nematodes as states of mæther. Flatworms are flat, living mæther, and
nematodes are round, living mæther. It's simple, really. That's what
makes it more correct, you know.

This model of particles, that fly around each other is not even very
satisfying. It is totally illogic, because we had to attach a field to
those entities and don't know how to do it to a point. Than we have no
idea, where those things would stem from. The big-bang-nucleosynthesis
is an explanation of the same ilk, that is fantastically illogic, too.
Than we find wavelike features of such particles and have trouble to put
that into little chunks of something. So waves are particles themselfs,
what is somehow hard to believe, especially when they appear as virtual
particles.
So it goes on and on..
