[General] separate the inertial and gravitational aspects of mass

Thu Jun 2 13:32:34 PDT 2016

Hi Chip:
You certainly have added some novel elements to model “photon” having possibly both “transverse” and “longitudinal velocities.
Are there any related experiments?
The field of precision optical engineering is far more advanced than theoretical physics, demonstrated through the progress in nano photonics and plasmonic photonics. Can you identify something that these optical engineers might able to measure and discern something positively?

Remember, our Knowledge Age, ushered in by laying down global fiber optic network, which is driven by laser light from semiconductor devices. None of the involved engineers ever tried to propagate light as “indivisible quanta”. These fantastic advancements in communications were not held up due to our lack of any proper quantum equation to propagate “quantized photon”! They are happy that all the precision they need is available from Huygens-Fresnel wave propagation integral, presented by Fresnel during the first quarter of the nineteenth century (1815?)  using the Huygens postulate of secondary wave lets, presented during the third quarter of the seventeenth century (1678?).

The question is as follows:  Why is the HF propagation integral is continuing to be so successful even today; but we cannot provide anything better mathematical tool to optical engineers with so much knowledge about “indivisible light quanta”; even though Huygens postulate of “secondary wavelets” resemble some fuzzy-logic, or some educated guess?

Hi John

I have a few questions regarding your experiment.
What was the wavelength [cid:image002.png at 01D1BCEC.5E8FA130]  of the laser used? For example, if it was a red laser it was probably in the range of 650nm wavelength.  The width of the slits? The distance from the laser to the slits and to the target?

The reason I am asking has to do with the quantization of light.  If we assume that Planck’s constant is the quantization of action, and that a single photon has spin angular momentum of hbar, then the effective spin radius of this construct (photon particle) is the wavelength divided by 2 pi.

Then if we assume that transverse waves do indeed travel at the speed of light in space, but that there could also be associated longitudinal waves, which remain principally undetected by normal instrumentation, then we can consider at the following:

As we study transverse waves in an elastic solid medium we see that the velocity of propagation of a transverse wave is:
[cid:image004.png at 01D1BCEC.5E8FA130]
Where [cid:image006.png at 01D1BCEC.5E8FA130] is the propagation velocity of the transverse wave, [cid:image008.png at 01D1BCEC.5E8FA130] is the shear modulus, and p is the density of the medium.
Longitudinal displacements or longitudinal waves simply travel faster in every known elastic solid medium.

Longitudinal propagation velocity is expressed as:
[cid:image010.png at 01D1BCEC.5E8FA130]
Where [cid:image012.png at 01D1BCEC.5E8FA130] is the propagation velocity of the longitudinal wave or displacement, and K is the compression modulus.
Since both the K modulus and [cid:image014.png at 01D1BCEC.5E8FA130]  modulus are always positive we can see that the longitudinal displacement propagation velocity will always be faster than the transverse wave velocity: [cid:image016.png at 01D1BCEC.5E8FA130] is always larger than [cid:image018.png at 01D1BCEC.5E8FA130]

So I am wondering if the photon is a tightly confined rotational transverse wave, with a radius expressed as  [cid:image020.png at 01D1BCEC.5E8FA130]   which also has a small associated longitudinal wave component acting as a "pilot" wave.

For a red laser the speculated radius of a photon would be 103.45nm so its diameter would be 206.9nm.

Your thoughts?

Chip

Vivian Robinson:
I suggest the following experiment does separate the inertial and gravitational aspects of mass.

Diffraction experiment and its STOE photon simulation program rejects wave models of light http://intellectualarchive.com/?link=item&id=1603

STOE assumptions that model particle diffraction and that replaces QM
http://intellectualarchive.com/?link=item&id=1719

The proposed photon model predicted this experiment. Some of the required postulates to make the model match experimental observations are to separate the inertial and gravitational mass. No other model of the photon or of diffraction fits the observation.

The diffraction model also explains the “walking drop” observation of Fig. 5c in Bush,~J.W.M., 2015, The new wave of pilot-wave theory, Physics Today, 68(8), 47
http://newfos.org/sites/default/files/uploads/documents/Pilot_Waves_Phys_Today_Aug_2015.pdf
wherein the inertia of the medium allows the wave to reflect and influence the drop that caused the wave. Compare Fig. 5c of Bush with Fig. 1 of “Diffraction experiment …”
