GK: hey, Dave, where is the skew? Please, I am trying to write better and understand. quantum mechanics is not probabilities? Waving is not important? -I'm not complaining, just observing how you communicate, and I follow your thoughts. Keep working at it. Quantum relationships are always the sum of probabilities. No one fully understands QM, but with renormalization per Feynman the formulas and equations work.

> GK: for a photon. Particle wave duality means just that. They don't know what it is. Yes, it is a "smudge" in a field. They list a set of properties for the photon.-There is more than one type of photon. Please read Matt Strassler's blog for a better understanding of his smudge in a field approach. He is very instructive to follow.

> Let's talk about this "plasma" you are referring to. That's at 10^30-ish degrees and 10^-30 -ish seconds. What is this "plasma"? One fundamental particle? A group of particles? Or one field?-After inflation and with the start of the hot BB all energy was in the form of plasma. Quark gluon plasma:-http://www.physics.umd.edu/courses/Phys741/xji/chapter2.pdf-Just read the first three paragraphs; after that is math proofs, that I cannot follow. Note as this gas cools the quarks begin to form baryons and fermions
