The Higgs boson is treated as producing protons from positrons, whereas the Reverse Higgs boson is associated with conversions between massive fermions and photons. Three possible metallic-lattice configurations are considered: the spherical metallic photon, the Bohr atom, and the Thomson atom. These states are then related to a proposed duality between Newtonian gravitational force and Einsteinian space-time curvature. Within the model, gravitational force is associated with nuclei and with gravitons propagating along tensioned electromagnetic field lines. When a nucleus is absent at the field point, residual space-time curvature remains and acts on non-nuclear entities. Spherical metallic photons and Thomson atoms are therefore assigned a “phantom nucleus” so that they can function as gravitational sources. The Krueger-Farmer gravitational-aether interpretation is developed by relating gravitational interaction to nuclear motion and to two closely spaced characteristic frequencies. The paper also compares four states of matter, including the Schrödinger atom, and examines de Broglie relations, fermionic-wave amplitude, multiple-electron Bohr atoms, and non-orthogonality of Bohr orbits. Finally, the proposed graviton mass-speed relation is compared with the uncertainty principle in an attempt to connect quantum mechanics with gravity within the author’s M-theory framework. 09 2026 35 45 10.55672/hij2026pp35-45 https://hscience.org/index.php/hij/article/view/REPLACE_WITH_ARTICLE_ID
