An Analysis of Misinterpretations in Experimental Observations of the Quark Concept and the Mechanism of the Photon Origin Theory

High energy proton collision experiments can produce collimated directional energy jets. Mainstream physics interprets these jets as evidence that quarks constitute the fundamental building blocks of protons, yet this theory suffers from a persistent paradox: no isolated, stable free quark has ever been experimentally detected. Recent results from the BESIII experiment confirm the existence of the X(2370) glueball. Observations show that the glueball first decays and releases gamma ray photons; subsequent collisions between these gamma photons then generate secondary particles such as π mesons. According to accepted measurements compiled by the Particle Data Group (PDG), charged π± mesons have an average lifetime of only 2.60×10⁻⁸ s, while neutral π⁰ mesons are even shorter lived at 8.43×10⁻¹⁷ s. The X(2370) glueball itself has a large decay width and an extremely short lifetime, making it impossible to host π mesons as inherent stable internal structures. π mesons are transient secondary products that decay rapidly after formation. All secondary particles ultimately transform completely into free gamma ray photons, with no stable residual entities of gluons or quarks. Based on the photon origin theory, this paper employs a macroscopic analogy of liquid fragmentation, the locking mechanism of photon clusters inside protons, and a comparative analysis of proton proton and gold gold collision experiments. It demonstrates that particle jets observed in high energy collisions are not intrinsic fundamental particles of protons, but only transient clustered photon fluid structures produced during disintegration. The locking effect of photons in protons acts as an overall external binding force, and the internal gamma photon clusters are loosely bound. After impact, jets continuously disperse and dissolve, leaving only free gamma photons. The abundant new particles produced in gold gold collisions at Brookhaven National Laboratory originate from secondary locking and reorganization of dense photon clusters after cooling, a mechanism distinct from the rapid escape of photons in proton collisions. The standard model interpretation of quarks and glueballs arises fundamentally from static misreading that captures only one instantaneous snapshot of a complete dynamic evolutionary chain. The ultimate decay product of all matter at the microscopic level is exclusively gamma ray photons, providing new experimental support for the photon origin theory.
