[General] Light with "self-torque"

[Albrecht Giese]

Hi Richard,

you have again presented here your photon model, which has internally a 
superluminal motion (zitterbewegung). Why superluminal? That makes it 
difficult for physicists to accept your model. And as I have tried to 
explain to you in Liége: it is not necessary. You can have speed of 
light for the whole photon and also inside the photon. By taking into 
account special relativity, this works.

Best wishes
Albrecht
