The model starts by considering a mechanism for gravity
The model is then built around that mechanism
A Physics Model The Simple Model The Simple Universe
Physics Built From First Principles
Without The Need To Use Quantum Fields
The reason for starting with gravity, is that there might be only a few mechanisms that can produce gravity*
If that is the case, then the model's chosen mechanism for gravity, could be the correct mechanism - link to the model's discussion on gravity
The mathematics for the model is a physics engine that models the behaviour of a strand shaped particle
The model discusses gravity, mass, electric charge, electric fields, subatomic particles - and the atom without the need to use quantum fields

Background
The concept of a quantum field is the basis for modern physics
Modern physics uses quantum fields to model the subatomic particles, and evidence for quantum fields is given by the atom and the double-slit experiment
However, quantum field theory is yet to include gravity
In contrast, this model is a particle version of the atom and gravity
Instead of using quantum fields, this physics model uses particles
The model uses a strand shaped particle to build the subatomic particles, and these particles are then used to model the atom, the double-slit experiment and gravity
The strand shaped particle has a shape, and a size, and a surface, a surface which can bend and stretch, and the strand shaped particle moves at a single constant speed against a static universal reference frame, in three dimensional space
In the model, the subatomic particles are built using a physics engine that processes the behaviour of the strand shaped particle
Please note that these discussions have been produced without having the physics engine
As well as discussing the atom, the double-slit experiment and gravity
These discussions also include building the atomic nuclei for the atoms, and the model matches the experimental number of stable isotopes for each element, from hydrogen through to iron

In addition, many of the unstable isotopes from hydrogen through to iron have been modelled and matched to their experimental decay products
In total, the model has analysed and correctly matched over two hundred atomic isotopes
Could it be that the model is showing us that the subatomic particles are not quantum fields

Please note, in the model, atomic nuclei have a flat structure
Which is different to the structure that is often used to depict an atomic nucleus
