   I had the idea, that what we call 'matter' are actually 'timelike stable   
   patterns'.   
      
   So: since electrons are material objects, they need to be timelike stable.   
      
   But how do electrons look like if they are not stable?   
      
   Well, they would match the description of a photon.   
      
   As empirical observation, which supports this claim I would use the   
   'photoelectric effect'. This effect means, that if you shine light upon   
   a metal plate, it will become charged.   
      
   That's why I think, that photons become electrons, if photons are   
   stopped by a metal sheet.   
      
   This 'become stopped' is a geometric relation in spacetime, because time   
   in a spacetime diagram is an axis.   
      
   If a certain structure moves as radiation, it has an (complex) angle of   
   45° towards the timeline.   
      
   If it gets stopped, the angle is zero.   
      
   Now both are king of 'helical screws', but the electron is 'the helix   
   squeezed flat' and circles horizontally (if the axis of time is placed   
   vertical).

   That's what YOU think, not me.   
      
   > But a photon and an electron are not the same thing, and

   Well, possibly I'm wrong, but the photoelectric effect says something else.   
   > From whence do you get these ridiculous ideas? :-D   
      
   Actually I wanted to connect QM and GR by a relatively simple method.   
      
   I took spacetime of GR as real phyical entity and wanted to build the   
   items of QM from spacetime.   
      
   So matter had to be 'timelike stable' and 'relative'.   
      
   This means, that matter is only matter for some class of observers,   
   which share what I call a certain 'time domaine'.   
      
   Others time domaines are possible and a change would alter the direction   
   of the axis of time.   
      
   (This could go as far as towards the opposite direction.)   
      
   This axis of time defines a certain context, where matter needs to be   
   stable to be actually matter.   
      
   Then matter from other time domains is invisible or would be perceived   
   as radiation.

   Well, it was my assumption and based on the comparison of an Argand   
   diagramm and a spacetime diagramm.   
      
   So my assumption was, that spacetime needed to be composed of complex   
   'somethings'.   
      
   My actual guess for 'somethings' were so called 'biquaterions' (aka   
   'complex four-vectors').

   This was my own idea and meaningful for me.   
   If you don't like it, than feel free to dislike it.   
      
   But nature is like nature is and that will most likely not depend on you.
