The First Page of Binary Unified Theory

January 8, 2023, was the day I first conceived the idea for my Grand Unified Theory of Everything. I was out on the patio, enjoying a beautiful sunny day with my family, when the realisation finally hit me. I had been revisiting Relativity and quantum mechanics over the previous year, looking for a solution to a paradox that had bothered me since high school almost twenty years prior: the wave-particle duality of light. I suddenly imagined a binary star system hurtling through space. As the stars orbited one another, their paths traced perfect continuous waves at the speed of light. Except they weren’t stars. They were two fundamental particles, attracted by their opposing charges, perfectly canceling each other out at a macroscopic level and each carrying exactly half the mass of the single photon they formed.

Ian Donaldson’s hand written notes from January 8th 2023 with the first proposal of a positive Poson and negative Negon to comprise a Photon and all other particles in the Standard Model. Years later the theory would be titled Binary Unified Theory.

From there, the constant speed of light became the constant speed of the binary particles and the striking parallels of Lorentz factors to Pythagoras started to form an idea about the mechanical foundations of Einstein’s Relativity. Everything Einstein proposed about light and an observer’s frame of reference remained unchanged, and the realisation that matter could be composed of these same two binary particles to explain the easy interchange of light to matter and matter to light in nuclear reactions gave a new practical meaning to E=mc². The impossibility of infinity became the foundation for the proposed “size” of zero for the binary charges. If they travel at the speed of light and have exactly zero diameter, the force between particles is fractal in nature and makes actual collisions impossible and always conserving energy, mass, momentum and matter. All energy transformations stem from the form taken by the binary particles.

It took more than two years to piece together the important aspects and I didn’t realise the Unified Theory ramifications until I discovered the mathematical foundations of Dipole Forces as the derivative of the component Monopole forces. Gravity has been predicted to be an emergent force for some time due to the lack of evidence for Quantum Gravity and Binary Unified Theory also predicts that this is the case. The page below is no longer an accurate representation of the theory I now call Binary Unified Theory (BUT), but it is a page for my personal archives that might interest others.

Now that I have built an online particular simulator that I recently refactored into a Swift App using Mac’s Metal API for performance, and observed simulations that support the emergence of stable matter from a single unified force F=mc²/r, I am working on getting this work peer reviewed and published. I uploaded a pre-print paper on PhilPapers that is the best and most thorough account of the Binary Unified Theory, which improved upon the much more readable but simplistic and rambling eBook I published on Amazon Kindle. I hope to re-write it when I can for a better reading experience. For now, I am working to submit a paper to a Nonlinear Science Journal called Chaos, Solitons & Fractals for peer review.
