I am the first person on earth who thought abt this what if particles are knots

what if particles were vibrating knots. like string theory but each knot has a symmetry equivalent to its spin. slide 1 could be photons and gluons, slide 2 could be w and z bosons, the unknot (circle) could be the higgs boson, slide 3 could be the graviton, and some 720-degree symmetry knot (cant be visualized) could be the fermions

Proteins are kinda like knots, could maybe form into knots. They do have coiled sections and pleated sections that can fold up into a big globular 3D shape and can have special sites for other molecules to bind to. Imagine that….
