FUNDAMENTAL MECHANICS"
"I have deep faith that the principle of the universe will be beautiful and simple".
- Albert Einstein (1879-1955)
In the early 1970's, Quark Theory was relatively well established but, no quarks or direct evidence of any had been found. A film titled "The Hunting of the Quark", ["Horizon"- Educational Scientific Series, written & produced by David Paterson, (1974) Time-Life] was aired on Public Television on November 17, 1974.
( NOVA). [Hunting of the Quark (The)]
Smashing matter into ever smaller pieces in an attempt to find its fundamental building blocks has produced a confused nightmare of particles. NOVA looks at this on-again, off-again story, one of sciences most mysterious and, one of the most expensive, involving some of the biggest machines in the world.

"The Hunting of the Quark" A portion of this film described an exclusive reaction (electron-proton scattering experiment) that was done at Stanford University and what was found when computer analysis was done with the data. A program was run to search for any charge morphology or configuration on the proton. In the film, an animation was shown of a rapidly alternating charge pattern that was found, as the only symmetrical configuration to fit the scattering data.
The animation represented the proton as a sphere with two counter spinning rings of positive charge, each rotating near the relative poles, in one state. In the alternate state, four point charges were shown equally displaced around the equator of the proton.
The Changing Shape of Protons
These four point charges then began to simultaneously elongate into linear arc charges stretching out toward, and almost reaching the poles of the sphere. The film's narrator stated that, "theorists could explain what might cause the ring charges to occur, but were unable to account for the four point, elongating into line-arc charges". He also pointed out that this data, although intriguing did conflict with some of the basic assumptions of "Quark Theory". http://www.protoncosmology.com/new_page_1.htm (View)
Recent experimentation indicates that the proton has an electro-dynamic nature and various morphologies. "Surprise to physicists protons aren't always shaped like a basketball". http://protoncosmology.com/Archives%2001.htm (View)
These latest findings seem to confirm the existence of the dynamic charge patterns described in this hypothesis. (( Confirmation )) http://protoncosmology.com/charge%20morphology%202.J PG

Protons are tiny. A proton has a diameter of just 1 femtometer, or 0.000000000000001 meters. This is around 100,000,000,000
