[General] Role of observer, a deeper path to introspection

Chandra,

do you really see a structural difference of photons (or of EM waves) 
depending on their frequency/energy? You surely know that this does not 
conform to the general understanding of present physics? And now in your 
view: at which frequency/energy does the structure change? Because at 
some point there must be a break, doesn't it?

Why do you think that photons (Gamma wave packets) do not have inertial 
mass? They have energy, no doubt. And energy is related to inertial 
mass, agree? Photons / Gamma wave packets - also low energy wave packets 
- have a momentum and cause a radiation pressure. We know - and can 
measure - the radiation pressure of the sun. Spaceships react on it. To 
my knowledge, no one has never met a photons which no mass. The 
assumption of no-mass is the result of a model, nothing more.

The conversion of particles is an unresolved question of present 
physics. QM is giving descriptions - they have generation operators - 
but as usual  no physical explanation. -  I find it funny that photons 
can be generated in large numbers when an electric charge experiences a 
changing field, supposed the necessary energy is present. The other 
reaction, the conversion of a photon into an electron-positron pair is 
in the view of my particle model not surprising. You may remember that 
in my model a lepton and a quark is built by a pair of massless "Basic" 
particles (which have electric charge). I find it possible that also a 
photon is built in this way, but as the photon has twice the spin of a 
lepton/quark it may be built by two pairs of basic particles rather than 
one, which have in this case positive and negative electric charges. And 
if now the photon interacts with another object so that momentum can be 
exchanged, it may break off into two halves, so into an electron and a 
positron as all necessary constituents are already there.

Why does a photon cause scattering, interference, and so on? Because in 
this model it has positive and negative electric charges in it. And as 
these charges a orbiting (with c of course) they cause an alternating 
electric field in the vicinity, and so there is a classical wave causing 
this wave-related behaviour. I find this simple, and it fits to de 
Broglie's idea, and in addition it solves the particle-wave question 
very classically. And this works independent of the energy (=frequency) 
of the photon.

You have the idea of your Complex Tension Field. Now doubt that this is 
an intelligent idea. My goal, however, is to find a model for all this, 
which is as simple and as classical as possible (avoiding phenomena like 
excitations), and at present I believe that my model is closer to this goal.

I think that this is the difference between our models.
