Chirality is when an object
Has a left-handed form
That is spatially different to its right-handed form, such as our left and right hands
We shake hands with our right hands
Although the handshake would work just as well if we were to use our left hands, for these two handshakes are equivalent to each other
However, a handshake where one person uses their left hand and the other uses their right hand, is a different handshake, and it is not equivalent to the other two handshakes
If the mechanism of electric charge were to be chiral in nature
Then the above suggests that the electric charge attractive force
Might not equal the electric charge repulsive force
A group of chiral electrical particles that are overall electrically neutral
Might have an overall attraction towards each other
Or might have an overall repulsion away from each other
Another example of chirality is the helix shape
A left-handed helix
Is spatially different
To a right-handed helix
The following animation shows how left-handed and right-handed helix structures, have a slightly better contact, than the contact of left-handed and left-handed helix structures, and the contact of right-handed and right-handed helix structures, the button shows the small difference between the interactions, when the helix structures are tightly wound, the button start / stops the animation (any of the buttons can be used in pause mode)

The Subatomic Particles
In the Simple Universe model
The left and right forms of the torus shaped particles of matter
Gives the particles of matter the quality of positive and negative electric charge
The behaviour of attraction and repulsion
Comes from the left and right forms of the torus shaped particles of matter
Interacting with the left and right forms of the model's helix shaped electric field particles
In the Simple Universe model
A positive electric field particle interacts with a negative particle of matter a little bit stronger
Than when the positive electric field particle interacts with a positive particle of matter
And
A negative electric field particle interacts with a positive particle of matter a little bit stronger
Than when the negative electric field particle interacts with a negative particle of matter
With the 'neutral' particle
Its outer torus is slightly larger than its inner torus
Giving the 'neutral' particle a small interaction with electric field particles, in the same manner as above
In the model
There is a small attractive force between atoms
That is similar to gravity

In the Simple Universe model
The proton contains one left 'neutral' particle and one right 'neutral' particle
In addition to the proton's internally enclosed positron
This gives the proton
More mass than the electron, but without giving the proton extra naked electric charge
Causing the model's gravity and electric force to appear to be different forces, even though gravity in the model is a consequence of the electric force
The following animation shows how the electron, positron, 'neutral' particle, neutrino and particle of light, interact with the short and long electric field particles in the model, the 01 input box lists the interactions for direct selection, the button start / stops the animation (any of the buttons can be used in pause mode)

Electric Fields
Electric fields appear to be different from a gravitational field
In that it is possible to shield from an electric field
But it is not possible to shield from a gravitational field
An example of an electric field shield
Is the Faraday cage
Although perhaps, the description of the cage as a shield is misleading, for electric fields are not absent from inside the cage, but rather the positive and negative fields inside the cage are equal to each other
That is similar to how
The attractive and repulsive electric interactions between all the individual subatomic particles that make up the earth
Cancel each other out
Except that in the model
The attraction and repulsion interactions don't quite cancel each other out
The slightly stronger electric field attraction leads to the small overall attraction that is gravity
Return to top
In the Simple Universe model
Gravity is a consequence of the difference in strengths
Between the attractive and repulsive interactions of the electric force
In the model
Gravity is a small force
Because the difference in strengths between the attractive and repulsive interactions of the electric force, is small
Explaining gravity in this way
Means that there is no antigravity in the model
Nor is there any difference between the behaviour of antiparticle and ordinary particle in a gravitational field
In the model
Gravity affects all the particles of matter in the same way
That is, gravity pulls together the particles that have mass - i.e. the torus shaped particles that are the electron, positron, left-handed 'neutral' particle, right-handed 'neutral' particle
Large dense objects can perhaps exist in the model
Such as a neutron star, or a quaser (quasers perhaps emitting light, as a suggestion, by crushing matter at their cores into light)
But in the model, matter cannot form an object such as a black hole, where by definition, light does not escape
In the Simple Universe model
Light is directed around objects that have mass
Light is not directed into objects
And objects that have mass
Have no affect at all
On the path of neutrinos
Return to top
In the Simple Universe model, there are two types of electric field particles
Short electric field particles from the electron, and the positron that is inside a proton
And long electric field particles from the 'neutral' particle that is inside a proton
Light and neutrinos also produce electric field particles, but for simplicity
Those electric field particles are not included in this discussion
(As a note, the electric field particles from light and neutrinos, also contribute towards a gravitational field)
In the model
Light and neutrinos are helix shaped particles
And helix shaped particles interact with electric field particles in a different way to that of the torus shaped particles of matter
Having two lengths of electric field particles makes no difference for their interactions with the particles of matter
But for light
It gives light a different behaviour in the two types of electric fields
The short electric field particles
Do not change
The path of light
But the long electric field particles
Do change the path of light
The long electric field particles wrap around a particle of light, causing the particle of light to arc along its body and change direction
And neutrinos
Are not affected at all by electric field particles
Neither long or short
In the Simple Universe model
The positive and negative, long electric field particles that radiate out from the 'neutral' particles that are in the nucleus of an atom
Direct light onto a tangential path around the nucleus of the atom
And the same consequence is true in the model, for light when near objects
Light is directed around objects, not into objects
Light and neutrinos are not affected by the consequences that, in the model, lead to gravity for the particles of matter
For example, as a suggestion, in the model
Reflection, refraction and diffraction of light
Are caused by light interacting with the long electric field particles at the surface of an object
As a suggestion
It is the long electric field particles that direct light around a massive object
Such as the bending of starlight around the sun, as observed during a solar eclipse
As a suggestion
The long electric field particles can direct light around a massive object, such as a galaxy
When light from a galaxy passes near to another galaxy or cluster of galaxies, then the light from the galaxy can perhaps, be bent around the galaxy or cluster of galaxies
If this effect were to occur in the model
Then it would be similar to the effect
Referred to as gravitational lensing

Electric Fields
Return to top
In the Simple Universe model, light is directed around the nucleus of an atom
The positive and negative, long electric field particles that radiate out from the 'neutral' particles that are in the nucleus of an atom
Direct light onto a tangential path around the nucleus of the atom
A galaxy that has most of its mass at its center
Will also have positive and negative, long electric field particles radiating out from the center of the galaxy
In much the same way that the positive and negative, long electric field particles radiate out from the center of an atom
In the model, the particles of matter that are in the stars that are in a galaxy
All have particles of light attached to the particles of matter
Pushing the particles of matter along
As a suggestion
The positive and negative, long electric field particles radiating out from a galactic center, interact with those particles of light that are attached to the particles of matter in the stars
And like the light attached to electrons when orbiting an atom, those attached particles of light will tend to be directed onto a tangential path around the galaxy
It could be, that calculating the orbital speeds of the outer stars in a galaxy
Might be more complex
Than using an equation for gravity acting on particles of matter
For example, in the model
Electrons in the outer atomic orbitals of an atom
Move faster than electrons in the inner atomic orbitals of an atom
Could it be, that in the model
The positive and negative, long electric field particles that radiate out from the center of a galaxy
Cause the outer stars in a galaxy to orbit faster than expected for their distance from the galactic center
Could it be
That the long electric field particles have a greater interaction with particles of matter that are moving faster and are therefore pushed along by a larger particle of light
Than with particles of matter that are moving slower and therefore pushed along by a smaller particle of light

Amongst other things
Scientific method requires
Observation, scepticism, and clarity of thought
In general
Physics theories are validated by comparing what is calculated using the mathematics of the theory
To what is experimentally observed
In general
Physics theories have a mathematical form
Such as for example, gravity and the general theory of relativity
In the Simple Universe model
The shape of a particle
Is important
The mathematical form of the Simple Universe model
Is a physics engine that models the behaviour, of a three dimensional strand shaped particle
That moves continuously at a single constant speed, against a static universal reference frame, in three dimensional space
