Is it possible to have an objective understanding to the subatomic world of Quarks, Protons and Neutrons that fits in with the reality of our everyday life? The subatomic world of Quarks, Protons and Neutrons is very different to our everyday life with the flow of time with a future and a past! The link between the two seems to be the light photon oscillation or vibration. Light Photons are responsible for all electron and proton interactions everything we do in our everyday life from moving a mouse to control our computer to dancing upon a dance floor relies on the exchange of photon energy! This energy is shifting and changing electric and magnetic fields! This also represents the flow of positive and negative charge that had it origin with the positive Protons and negative electrons. Therefore we can see a link between the subatomic world and the fundamental nature of reality of everyday life!

Quarks, Proton, Electron and Photon Interaction. Fundamental Nature of Reality
The force that binds quarks into protons and neutrons is not the electromagnetic force, but the strong force. It isn't mediated by photons, but by gluons.
We do understand all these issues quantitatively and in detail. (The electric and magnetic fields, whose sources are electric charges and currents, are responsible for the energy exchanges in this context.)
This doesn't have anything to do with any ``physics of time'', which doesn't mean anything.
A much better presentation is given by Feynman in

I know... it's so interesting... what I don't understand is, how gluons can be that strong to keep matter and anti-matter in a quark, away from each other. Can somebody explain this to me?Aug 30, 2014- Stam NicolisModeratorIt's not easy to explain. If one focuses only on the quarks that describe the particular properties of, say, a proton, then one sees that we're talking about three quarks: two ``up'' quarks and one ``down'' quark. So the issue of keeping matter from antimatter doesn't arise here, or for the neutron
(two ``down'' quarks and one ``up'' quark; there are some subtle issues that have been left out here, because the structure is much more complicated, but we can set them aside here.). The question does arise for mesons, that can be bound states of a quark and the same anti-quark. The answer then is that it is possible to make a bound state of them-even though the strong interaction, at that scale, is, in fact, quite weak- thanks to the fact that the two quarks carry angular momentum and, thus, can be kept apart by a centrifugal barrier-for some time. In fact the same issue arises in electrodynamics, where an electron and a positron can form a bound state, that decays into two, or three, photons.Sep 2, 2014
