[General] Light with "self-torque"

Thu Jul 4 14:55:03 PDT 2019

Hello Albrecht (and all),

   Thank you for reminding me of the pleasant and productive conference we participated in at Liege last August.

    I remember your comment but was not clear on how it could be implemented in my double-helix photon model.  The double-helix photon model is not a zitterbewegung model. The zitterbewegung term refers to the internal frequency F=2mc^2/h of the Dirac electron, and related spatial models of the electron (or other particles). My relativistic quantum-vortex zitterbewegung model of the electron (see Part 2: Crossing lightspeed at richardgauthier.academia.edu/research)  is shown below first for a resting electron model (on the left) and then for a very highly relativistic electron model on the right). (The electron/positron model shrinks in size as 1/gamma with increasingly gamma of the electron/positron, as can be seen from the parametric equations below). In both resting and highly relativistic cases the superluminal energy quantum (SEQ) moves along a mathematical surface — a horn torus for the resting electron or positron model. As gamma increases, this mathematical surface transforms into a sphere for a highly relativistic (large gamma) electron or positron model. Interestingly, in both cases the minimum speed of the SEQ  composing the resting model and the highly relativistic model is calculated to be c, while the SEQ's maximum speed is calculated in both cases to be c sqrt(5) = 2.236 c. Coincidence? In between these extremes, the SEC is fully superluminal for two states (electric charge and spin combinations) and goes subliminal and back to superluminal during each SEQ cycle for the other two electric charge and spin combinations. I wonder if you could reduce both of these internally superluminal (and sometimes subluminal) quantum-vortex electron/positron models to having an internal movement purely at speed c.

   with best wishes,

       Richard

The parametric equations for the superluminal energy quantum composing the relativistic quantum-vortex positron/electron model are given by

Below: the resting electron model (left) and the highly relativist electron model (right). The green surfaces are mathematical surfaces along which the superluminal energy quantum (small ball with its trajectory) moves.

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.
