First sentence: In 1969, when I was sixteen years old, I was introduced to the meetings of Maktab Tarighat Oveyssi (M.T.O.) Shah Maghsoudi on Islamic Sufism. At that time the meetings were conducted by Prof. Sadegh Angha. In a book of poems written by Prof. Sadegh Angha, titled Hamaseh Hayat (The Epic of Life), there is a section on 'the prediction of the events of the next sixty years' (1967-2027). During one of the meetings while explaining a poem containing the line 'when the knowledge of light prevails...' Prof. Sadegh Angha said, 'They [the physicists] still do not understand the nature of light. When they do, many problems of contemporary physics will be solved.' In several other places in Hamaseh Hayat, Prof. Sadegh Angha also clearly speaks of the particle-wave nature of matter, stating that 'matter is nothing but light.' Having always been interested in physics, this statement intrigued me and made me think seriously about questions concerning the nature of light. How can it be shown that elementary particles are, in fact, some state of light? How would the discovery of the hidden aspects of the nature of light help to solve problems such as the conceptual paradoxes of quantum mechanics or help to solve the problem of unification of the fields? 
In 1971, at the recommendation of Prof. Sadegh Angha, I majored on physics. While studying at the university I was actively involved in pursuing answers to the above questions. During this time Prof. Sadegh Angha and I corresponded frequently--he answering and explaining my questions in detail; I presenting the results of my research to him. During late 1978, 1979, and 1980 I again had the privilege of having personal meetings with Prof. Sadegh Angha. At these meetings he continued to explain problems I encountered and helped me to clarify my thinking; I took plenty of notes on all he explained about the above topic. 
After I earned my Ph.D. in 1983 I continued my studies on conceptual quantum mechanics. In September 1985 I was led to write essays on the subjects of interest from Prof. Sadegh Angha's books as well as the results of long conversations and thick notes from correspondence. Thus I started working on a series of articles. In February 1986, after intense thought, an idea crossed my mind. That idea was that in the field of an elementary particle, probably the index of refraction (n) increases. For example, in 'pair production' the increase in the index of refraction probably eventually stops the penetrating gamma ray, which is converted to a pair of particles. 
Since that time, in consultation with Mr. Nader Angha, I have been working on the 'light' model of elementary particles. This model is consistent with 'conventional' quantum mechanics. Furthermore, it has contributed solutions to many contemporary problems of fundamental physics. 
This book elucidates this new model for the structure of material particles. Among other applications of this model, we discuss the formation of the hydrogen atom and heavier atoms. Based on this model we also suggest a method for the unification of fields, including the gravitational field. 
In the course of this work, I found myself confronted with numerous puzzles and entrenched many times in incorrect approaches. However, my confusion was lifted through Mr. Nader Angha's instructions each time. In fact, I consider my role in the production of this book as that of a translator. This book represents my translation of Prof. Sadegh Angha's theory into the mathematical language of physics. I am grateful for this honor. Any flaws that appear in this book may be attributed to the limitations of the contemporary language of physics as well as my own understanding of physics.

From the Preface by Dr. Sirus Aryainejad
Description: Professor Sadegh Angha's Theory of Particle Structure & Its Applications: The Epic of Life, By Prof. Sadegh Angha and Dr. Sirus Aryainejad, lays out a dynamic model of the internal structure of elementary particles, as first suggested by Prof. Sadegh Angha. Using this model, the authors calculate the characteristic physical constants of particles and apply their model of the electron and proton to the formation of, as well as the radiation traded by, the hydrogen atom, suggesting a solution, as well, to long-term problem of the connection of fine structure constant with other constants in elementary particle physics. In addition, they discuss the application of Professor Angha's model to very fast-moving particles, wherein the relativistic mass, length contraction, and time dilation is derived without appealing to the principles of relativity, thereby demonstrating for the first time how a model elementary particles, on its own, can result in the relativistic variation of mass, length, and time. They go on to treat the formation of atoms more massive than the hydrogen atom and discuss as well the problem of the unification of gravitational fields with electromagnetic fields within the framework of the general theory of relativity. A work easily understood by any student of physics, Professor Sadegh Angha's Theory of Particle Structure & Its Applications will be a great interest to anyone interested in this ever-expanding scientific field.
Notes: Professor Sadegh Angha's Theory of Particle Structure:
On one level a physics treatise, "Epic of Life" is also a poem, exploring through the integration of science & the fundamental concepts of Islam, the very seed of creation. The text originated with Persian physicist & great Sufi Master, Professor Angha, who then directed one of his students, now a professor of physics at Eastern Illinois University, to present this revolutionary theory to the community of physicists a theory on the ultimate structure of matter sought since the ancient Egyptians & Greeks.
