Physics and Geometry. / My opinion./
--------------------.
The Classic Physics was started from two points:
thermodynamics and light.
1.
By studying the effect of thermodynamics, physicists came to the
opinion that the physical parameters like volume, temperature and
density (of particles mass) are enough to discover the laws of
thermodynamics, and they didn’t need to know something
concrete about single particle. But then, soon or later, all mass of
this
particles will stop it’s moving and the thermal/ radiation death
will come. Is it possible? No, it isn’t , some particles will radiate
and then QT evolved from this idea. Now the situation radically
change.
From studying mass of particles in thermodynamics Planck and Einstein
began to study one individual particle (quantum of energy). It seams
that
it was logical to think about geometrical form of this particle, but
this ...

Do you really expect sensible answers?

A choice of units has consequences. Making another choice will lead to a
different world, a different vision. It will not solve problems.

I thought that

1. A particle could have mass without having volume, and
2. Only the *distance between particles* experiences length contraction, not
the particles themselves.

Strange, but I feel the other way around.

And I thought that the impact of one particle on another was made possible
not by actual collision (on the atomic scale) but by the electromagnetic
field.
