Chip,
I like your description of the stuff or energy quantum of an electron or photon as having a center of action (particularly since “action” in physics has the dimensions of energy x time and also of angular momentum mvr which is the dimensions of Planck’s constant h). But I think the energy quantum GENERATES the quantum waves associated with the energy quantum, rather than IS these waves. Yet these waves from a single electron (charged photon) or uncharged photon have a kind of unity since these waves all evolved from a single energy quantum (the electron or the photon) and can manifest that energy quantum (electron or photon) again. For a single free electron or photon, these waves may go through two slits before interfering at a screen on the other side of the slits and predicting probabilistically where the electron or photon will be found on the other side.

> Martin said in his paper on “stuff” principally the same thing I was thinking, that the electron has the same stuff in it that a photon has, but in a different configuration. It is the configuration of the stuff which makes it either an electron or a photon. The spin mode changes the topology of the inherent stuff. This stuff is the reaction of energy as it propagates through space. The stuff has a particular set of properties inherent, but specifically due to those inherent properties, also takes on properties depending on its spin mode. It has at least two different stable spin modes, but more likely three or four spin modes are possible when fully understood. These modes define the photon and the stable particles including the electron and proton.

And the photon behaves like a wave because it is not completely localized at a single point, but is a set of fields occupying space. So it is not like a regular wave, and it is not a particle in the conventional sense. The photon and electron share this wave/particle behavior, in that they both have a center of action, but are both comprised of fields which extend off into space. So because of the experimentally illustrated behavior of photons (and electrons) as they react with particles, I think there must be some level of quantization inherent in the photon itself which provides for the center of action.

This type of polarization would tend to cause left and/or right spin components in the otherwise planar circular wave action in space.

A photon is an uncharged energy quantum (or quantum of energy) moving linearly at lightspeed and generating waves, with c=f lambda and having spin 1 hbar, energy E=hf and linear momentum p=h/lambda. We can call the photon's “stuff” energy or relativistic mass (I prefer “energy” as being preferable to "relativistic mass” but opinions differ.)

But now the photon's energy quantum has a rest mass 0.511MeV/c^2 , a spin of Sz =1/2 hbar and carries the charge -e of the electron. This is why I call it the charged photon model of the relativistic electron. I call it a charged photon because it has the charge of the electron -e, and moves circularly or helically at lightspeed and has E=hf and p=h/lambda like a photon, but now has the rest mass m= 0.511MeV/c^2 and spin 1/2 hbar of an electron. Well of course the charged photon model of an electron has charge -e, rest mass 0.511MeV/c^2, and spin 1/2 hbar because by hypothesis it IS an electron. I think that the burden of reasoned proof is on anyone with a circulating photon model of the electron who claims that their circulating photon continues to be uncharged, to have no rest mass and to have spin 1 hbar to explain how this can be, even though the circulating photon is forming an electron which has the electron’s rest mass, spin 1/2 and electric charge -e.

While there might be some slightly “confusing” statements, when they are taken in the context of discussion in his “Light is heavy” paper I can see his points. For me the energy present in the photon is simply its total mass equivalence. But the photon possesses no “rest mass”.
>>>>
>>>> But I really like Martin’s paper on stuff, because it also implies that perhaps the properties of the “confined photon” have been changed in certain ways so that we might not be precisely correct in stating that an electron is a confined photon. Upon confinement the “stuff” is now behaving differently. Yes the energy of the “stuff” is still there, but is it still proper to call it a photon? Perhaps for illustration purposes it is OK to call it a photon, but that should not be allowed to interfere with our understanding of what is actually happening. So in the electron, the “stuff”, due to its inherent properties, is now behaving in ways which it does not behave in photons. So that the electron, and photon, are different manifestations of the properties and configurations of “stuff”.

Oscillation conserves energy. The total energy does not come and go, so I agree with Martin, that the total mass is also principally constant, and does not oscillate in and out of existence, or between positive and negative mass. In fact this is one of the principles that I believe we must preserve in any model for an electron or photon. The constancy of the energy present. As a wave propagates, in any medium, the total energy in the wave remains constant, (ignoring friction or other disturbances) so the mass equivalence of that wave remains constant.

>>>> You say at the end of “Light is Heavy”: "If the photon would be put to rest, its gravitational mass would equal its rest mass, and hence vanish.” I think we can agree that the closest light can be to “rest” in a vacuum is if it traveling at light-speed in a closed circle (or at light-speed in a helix as seen from a moving frame) as in our electron models. I think the question “Does such a photon have a rest mass?” is fundamental to our electron models and I think it would be good if we were able to agree on a consistent answer that can be backed by rational arguments. I claim that this circulating (circularly or helically-moving) photon does have a constant rest mass (that of the electron) since it has energy E=gamma mc^2 but its average linear momentum is zero for a resting electron or p=gamma mv in the case of an electron moving with speed v (leading in either case to a calculation of rest mass m from the relativistic energy momentum equation E^2 = p^2 c^2 +m^2 c^4). Plus we know that an electron has a rest mass m so that the hypothetical photon composing the electron also must have the same rest mass m, whether the electron is moving or not. John W has indicated earlier (as I understood him) that this photon would not have a rest mass because the photon is moving at light-speed, but its confinement due to a pivot produces the rest mass of the electron. Martin seems to be saying in “Light is Heavy" that this circulating photon has a non-zero rest mass due to its self-confinement and so it is heavy. Are these two positions really different? Could both of you make a brief clarifying statement about this point, briefly summarizing your reasons, so we can see the level of our agreement or disagreement on this point? Also Chip, John D, John M, Vivian, Andrew?
