All the phenomenon we see? What about weak and strong interactions? What
about the internal structure of the protons and neutrons? What about the
neutrinos? Does it explain the neutrino masses and their splitting?

If empty space is filled with neutrons as you say, how can this be stable?
Neutrons decay rather rapidly. Protons, however, are quite stable.
