Whats wrong with this?

From what we know, matter exists in 4 dimensions, 3 of space and one of time. It is the gluons within the strong nuclear force which keeps matter together yet perhaps this only applies to matter within 3 dimensions, Is it possible that their is a subatomic particle (perhaps with no mass) that allows matter to exist through time? I had this crazy thought about a month ago and I dont have an extensive background in theoretics so I figured I'd see what yahoo answers thought. Let me know if there are any questions, the concept is very hard to understand haha.
