Tonight I'm going to indulge in a flight of fancy, inspired by the fact that science fiction keeps on proving itself to be a reality it didn't know it was. I'm going to conjure a new particle. Well, if physicists can do it, why can't the rest of us? Enter the Petrino.
My new particle has zero mass, like the photon, but it oscillates between states. Three states, these being high, low, and level. In level state, the Petrino is stable, and sits inert on its world line, going with the flow, completely disinterested in doing anything remotely energetic. In this state it can be influenced by other particles and forces, but won't do anything in response. In low state, it acquires a capacity to interact and will respond, if somewhat vaguely, to what is going on in its field of cause and effect. In high state, it does exactly as it likes and won't take no for an answer, becoming very influential and much more likely to affect than to be affected by. Like the photon, it can be transformed into many material conditions due to its incredible flexibility.
I'd give it an equation, but I don't do equations. If someone else wants to, be my guest. Send it to me - I'd love to see what the formula looks like. The Petrino's relationship with gravity is flexible too, so you shouldn't have any infinities to worry about. Its relationship with gravity accords to its energy, not to mass, because it doesn't have any. Petrinos don't need mass - matter would just get in the way of its freedom to do as it wishes.

The reason this particle insists on existing has nothing to do with mathematics, but everything to do with logic. Here we have a particle which doesn't conform to the usual standards and wants to be what it is without having to subscribe to anyone's idea of what a thing should be. Petrinos are not subject to Planck's Constant because they have no mass to worry about. They don't have any truck with symmetric limitation because they exist in whatever state they choose and whether they have an anti-particle is rather a moment-by-moment decision. They are bound by the rules of the Uncertainty Principle as is everything everywhere in every conceivable Universe and they absolutely love being completely invisible.
The Petrino is my prime candidate for Dark Matter. Sister force to the Petrino - Dark Energy, from which it gains low or high states of existence. In level state, it is inert, subscribing to the second law of thermodynamics it'll obligingly be as entropic as you like. In low or high states, however, it is a force to be reckoned with in its own right and its indivisible duality with energy drives the expansion of the Universe. There doesn't have to be an increasing number of Petrinos to fill an expanding Universe, they simply change their taste according to the circumstances of the time.
Now, all you physicists out there are going to sneer and make plurting noises and think there is nothing vaguely intelligent to think about this ridiculous post. But one day, mark my words, there will be a particle found which fits the above model. Maybe not exactly to the letter (predictive precision flouts the Uncertainty Principle and flouting that isn't allowed). But more or less, within a reasonable parameter of solid identification, a particle fitting the Petrino's description will come along. Of its own accord. You don't need to do anything. You don't even need to look for it. Because the Petrino knows when the time is right, and will decide according to its own processing when to make its presence known.
Possibly in Bflat.
When it does, I want your word on just one thing. The Petrino belongs to me.
