In the first instance, can an electromagnetic field form an atom? It is understood that an electromagnetic field can be non-uniform in that it contains a superposition of quantised energy levels. Electric and Magnetic vectors are spaced according to their strength and direction. These energy levels when added together give the electronic profile of the EM field.
In the atom similarly, each quantised energy state, including ‘ground’ state and ‘excited’ state exists as part of a superposition of all of the energy states. It is this superposition which gives the atom its’ physical properties.
What would it take for an electromagnetic field to generate atoms? For ‘energy’ to become ‘atomic matter’? What is the significance of the gravitational force, does it ‘bend’ the field into atomic units?
Is this why the Higgs Boson field is able to transform energy into particle (atomic) matter?
