[General] American Physical Society presentation on superluminal photon/electron models

[Richard Gauthier]

Hi Andrew,

    My talk went well. I said most of what I wanted to, but did, as you suggested, have too many slides for the 10 minutes allotted time (plus 2 minutes for questions) and so managed a quick summary. There were 16 persons in attendance including myself and 4 other speakers and the moderator (better than average from my experience of presenting at past APS national meetings in sections devoted to fringe physics topics).

    The spin +1 hbar and spin -1 hbar internally superluminal photon models may represent a photon when detected. Linearly polarized light is composed (quantum mechanically) of a quantum mix of both spin + 1 hbar and spin -1 hbar photons. But when any photon of linearly polarized light is detected, it is either a spin +1hbar or a spin -1hbar photon with a 50-50 probability of being one or the other.

    The charge dipoles of two separate double-helix photons probably do interact when close. The charges never overlap because all the charges are point charges. And each double-helix photon is proposed to be quantum-mechanically self-entangled and so would act like a single quantum object. So perhaps the effect of two nearby double-helix photons on each other would be minimal.

    Again, when a single photon is detected, it has a single energy, not a spread-out range of energies previously described by a possibly continuous range of quantum-mechanical waves function frequencies. The collapse of the quantum wave function for a photon selects a single energy photon from a range of possible energies in the quantum-mechanical description of the not-yet detected photon. At least that’s how I understand quantum experimental measurement.

   The superluminal speed of the two superluminal energy quanta composing a double-helix photon is not the result of a superluminal phase velocity. You have to have a group velocity of different waves before you can have a phase velocity, don’t you? This is when Vgroup x Vphase = c^2 . 

       all the best,
           Richard

Attached is a PDF of the powerpoint, which contains some new and surprising information about the internal superluminal (and sometimes subluminal) speeds of the circulating energy quantum forming the electron and positron spin-up (and spin-down) models. Questions and comments are welcome.
