  By means of a general classification of the different kinds of matter which
were formed along the universal expansion, the paper shows that the force of
nature form a chain from the world of the prequarks to the galaxies. It is
shown that matter has a generalized structured state characterized by some
degree of order and by a Lennard-Jones effective potential. The existence of
this state at the level of quarks and galaxies suggests that nature has two
more fundamental forces, a superstrong interaction which acts among prequarks
and quarks, and a superweak interaction which acts among galaxies and clusters
of galaxies. Quark confinement is explained from first principles. The energies
of all hadrons, including all known resonances, are calculated in a simple
manner. The error, for each particle, between calculated and experimental
values, is below 5%, in general, and goes as low as 0.5% for some levels. The
energies of all the other hadrons(which have not been found experimentally) are
predicted. The energies of the excited states of quarks are calculated.
According to the work the Higgs boson does not exist, since the masses of
hadrons and quarks are generated by an effective potential which comes about
from the combination of the strong and superstrong interactions.
