[General] Light with "self-torque"

Thu Jul 4 06:25:39 PDT 2019

Hi Albrecht

However the postulate of Special Relativity which states that no information can travel through space faster than light is challenged by the following:

1.      Quantum tunneling.

2.      Particle entanglement.

3.      The measured speed of the Coulomb field.

4.      The calculated speed of gravitational fields to maintain the orbits of binary stars.

And the postulate of Special Relativity that all motion is relative is challenged by the following.

The constant speed of light through space. The Inertia of massive bodies.

Einstein recognized the requisite medium of space due to inertia and the speed of light late in his career, and wrote about it.

The wavefunctions of particles are therefore (due to the postulates of Special Relativity) thought to exist is some special “configuration space” because of their “non-local” (much faster than light) properties.  

However, the simplest explanation is that, as in any medium, transverse displacements propagate more slowly than longitudinal displacements. Transverse motion of displacements in the medium of space are the easiest for us to measure for they are “electromagnetic” in nature. Longitudinal displacements are much faster than light and responsible for the warping of space of GR, and responsible for the Coulomb fields (charges) of particles. In this way all of the pieces of the puzzle fit in a quantifiable manner. In this manner the wavefunctions of particles can exist in real space, not in configuration space.

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

Hi Dan, John W, Martin and all, 

   I just published my updated article  "Quantum-entangled superluminal double-helix photon produces a relativistic superluminal quantum-vortex zitterbewegung electron and positron, Part 2: Crossing Lightspeed”, dated 2 July. It’s at

The just-published first part of the article  "Quantum-entangled superluminal double-helix photon produces a relativistic superluminal quantum-vortex zitterbewegung electron and positron” presented in Liege at the Vigier conference last August is there also. 

with best wishes,

Hi Dan, 

   Thanks for your note about this discovery of a new property of light, “self-torque"

which is reminiscent of the superluminal double-helix model of the photon, though with clearly significant differences.

New property of light discovered
by Bob Yirka, Science X Network, Phys.org <http://Phys.org> 

A team of researchers affiliated with several institutions in Spain and the U.S. has
announced that they have discovered a new property of light—self-torque. In their paper
published in the journal Science, the group describes how they happened to spot the new
property and possible uses for it.

Scientists have long known about such properties of light as wavelength. More recently,
researchers have found that light can also be twisted, a property called angular
momentum. Beams with highly structured angular momentum are said to have orbital
angular momentum (OAM), and are called vortex beams. They appear as a helix
surrounding a common center, and when they strike a flat surface, they appear as
doughnut-shaped. In this new effort, the researchers were working with OAM beams
when they found the light behaving in a way that had never been seen before.

The experiments involved firing two lasers at a cloud of argon gas—doing so forced the
beams to overlap, and they joined and were emitted as a single beam from the other side
of the argon cloud. The result was a type of vortex beam. The researchers then
wondered what would happen if the lasers had different orbital angular momentum and if
they were slightly out of sync. This resulted in a beam that looked like a corkscrew with a
gradually changing twist. And when the beam struck a flat surface, it looked like a
crescent moon. The researchers noted that looked at another way, a single photon at the
front of the beam was orbiting around its center more slowly than a photon at the back of
the beam. The researchers promptly dubbed the new property self-torque—and not only
is it a newly discovered property of light, it is also one that has never even been
predicted.

The researchers suggest that it should be possible to use their technique to modulate the
orbital angular momentum of light in ways very similar to modulating frequencies in
communications equipment. This could lead to the development of novel devices that
make use of manipulating extremely tiny materials.

The actual published article is at
https://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1901/1901.10942.pdf . Discovered
via the blog article at
https://science.slashdot.org/story/19/06/29/0039231/new-property-of-light-discovered
, where one comment links to
https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0056086
, which includes the conclusion "In conclusion, twisted waves cannot
carry information that is independent from the information contained
in plane wave modes at the same frequency."

Thank you for your time,
