Stwert you missed a golden opportunity to write Schrodinger's Wave Function, and Quantum Electrodynamics. Shame on you!

The whole point is to create a geometry of space time and movements within the space time from which these things naturally evolve. The positive aspects are that the intial model is flexible and Newtonian, the difficult thing is sustaining vortices, and the fact that they may need lots of particles.

Has anyone tried and failed at this?

There are some great inspirational videos here:

I am currently contacting experts in the field of fluid dynamics and trying to get their opinions/tips.
