There is no matter." - Albert Einstein > I don't think it's a matter of the frequency being lowered. I think particles of matter are the automatic result when energy is trapped going around in closed 3D form. When it's only a circle we call it a photon.
The properties of space time itself impose certain constraints on which 3D forms are stable, hence the particle zoo. Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/project.html
