Abstract: The Background Field Theory (BF-theory) is a figurative approach to describe in a uniform way fields of force, interactions, physical phenomena and elementary particles at quantum level. In this sense, it is assumed that there effectively exists an "absolute void" beneath the "perfect vacuum," so that above the absolute void, there is a background field that consists of virtual gravitons, linked together by means of superstrings, thus building a 3-dimensional matrix.

With the aid of the background field, many physical phenomena in the universe can be explained (i.e., electric and magnetic fields, gravitation, antigravitation, inertia, the fall of the bodies, the speed of light, the uncertainty of space, the "Tunnel Effect," etc.) with all of these phenomena ultimately being due to interactions or mutual actions between elementary particles and the background field. In this sense, inertia represents the inherent resistance of space, and antigravitation is the result of competition between EM and gravitational fields. Because of the background field, the speed of light has a finite value and light is an oscillation instead of being infinitely fast and linear. These vibrations in the background field are responsible for the uncertainty of space.

It is further predicted that there are holes in the background field, where the resistance of space is equal to zero and the velocity of a particle or body can become infinite. Tiny holes in the background field are already known as "Tunnel Effect." Finally, Special Relativity agrees now with the idea of overluminic speed.

Introduction

There are phenomena in the universe that have not yet been satisfactorily explained such as the "absolute void," inertia, the fall of the bodies (with equal speed), antigravitation, why the speed of light is finite, why light is a wave, the momentary reduction of a field of waves, the uncertainty of space (Casimir-like-energy), and the Tunnel Effect. The BF-theory is a figurative quantum model of the space, able to explain such phenomena and to redefine already known ones without infringing any existing physical theory. The ultimate target of the BF-theory is to provide a simple figurative model of the universe and open a new "window" in fields of physics and cosmology.
