Nature's Tiniest Particles as Modern Science Currently Views Them

Karl Tate at LiveScience presents a visual view of how science currently views elementary particles at Strange Quarks and Muons, Oh My! Nature's Tiniest Particles Dissected (Infographic)

The essential problem with this modern view of "elementary particles" is that all essentials of the universe are relations and it is always relations that we are measuring. There is no such thing as "a particle" of any kind that stands motionless somewhere in nature and that is why the "tiniest" particles of the universe also act as "waves". It is like measuring a moving locomotive at the tiniest of levels. The locomotive has a front and a back and a middle too, so that establishing its location "precisely" even at rest is a function of the size of the measurement. The further away we are, the smaller the locomotive is relative to the rest of the measured world and the more "precisely" we can measure its location. The closer we get, the larger the locomotive is relative to the rest of the measured world, and the less "precisely" we can measure its location. When we get really close, we have to say what part of the locomotive is where to get it really right. When motion is added, it becomes even more difficult.

    Both book volumes contain the following basic book description:
    "Alice Cunningham Fletcher observed in her 1902 publication in the American Anthropologist
    that there is ample evidence that some ancient cultures in Native America,
    e.g. the Pawnee in Nebraska,
    geographically located their villages according to patterns seen in stars of the heavens.
    See Alice C. Fletcher, Star Cult Among the Pawnee--A Preliminary Report,
    American Anthropologist, 4, 730-736, 1902.
    Ralph N. Buckstaff wrote:
    "These Indians recognized the constellations as we do, also the important stars,
    drawing them according to their magnitude.
    The groups were placed with a great deal of thought and care and show long study.
    ... They were keen observers....
    The Pawnee Indians must have had a knowledge of astronomy
    comparable to that of the early white men."
    See Ralph N. Buckstaff, Stars and Constellations of a Pawnee Sky Map,
    American Anthropologist, Vol. 29, Nr. 2, April-June 1927, pp. 279-285, 1927.
    In our book, we take these observations one level further
    and show that megalithic sites and petroglyphic rock carving
    and pictographic rock art in Native America,
    together with mounds and earthworks, were made to represent territorial geographic landmarks
    placed according to the stars of the sky using the ready map of the starry sky
    in the hermetic tradition, "as above, so below".
    That mirror image of the heavens on terrestrial land is the "Sky Earth" of Native America,
    whose "rock stars" are the real stars of the heavens,
    "immortalized" by rock art petroglyphs, pictographs,
    cave paintings, earthworks and mounds of various kinds (stone, earth, shells) on our Earth.
    These landmarks were placed systematically
    in North America, Central America (Meso-America) and South America
    and can to a large degree be reconstructed as the Sky Earth of Native America."
