This stuff is the reaction of energy as it propagates through space. The stuff has a particular set of properties inherent, but specifically due to those inherent properties, also takes on properties depending on its spin mode.

The photon and electron share this wave/particle behavior, in that they both have a center of action, but are both comprised of fields which extend off into space.

Chip may agree also on this point (or not?) A photon is an uncharged energy quantum (or quantum of energy) moving linearly at lightspeed and generating waves, with c=f lambda and having spin 1 hbar, energy E=hf and linear momentum p=h/lambda. We can call the photon's “stuff” energy or relativistic mass (I prefer “energy” as being preferable to "relativistic mass” but opinions differ.)</div></div><div><div class="yiv3899398018MsoNormal"> </div></div><div><div class="yiv3899398018MsoNormal"> When a photon's energy quantum is circulating in a circle or helix to form a resting or moving electron, the photon’s energy quantum also has c=f lambda, energy E=hf=gamma mc^2 and momentum p=h/lambda = gamma mc and moves at lightspeed along its circular or helical path and is generating waves. But now the photon's energy quantum has a rest mass 0.511MeV/c^2 , a spin of Sz =1/2 hbar and carries the charge -e of the electron. This is why I call it the charged photon model of the relativistic electron. I call it a charged photon because it has the charge of the electron -e, and moves circularly or helically at lightspeed and has E=hf and p=h/lambda like a photon, but now has the rest mass m= 0.511MeV/c^2 and spin 1/2 hbar of an electron. Well of course the charged photon model of an electron has charge -e, rest mass 0.511MeV/c^2, and spin 1/2 hbar because by hypothesis it IS an electron. I think that the burden of reasoned proof is on anyone with a circulating photon model of the electron who claims that their circulating photon continues to be uncharged, to have no rest mass and to have spin 1 hbar to explain how this can be, even though the circulating photon is forming an electron which has the electron’s rest mass, spin 1/2 and electric charge -e. </div></div><div><div class="yiv3899398018MsoNormal"> </div></div><div><div class="yiv3899398018MsoNormal"> with best regards,</div></div><div><div class="yiv3899398018MsoNormal"> Richard</div></div><div class="yiv3899398018MsoNormal"> </div><div><blockquote style="margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt;"><div><div class="yiv3899398018MsoNormal">On Jul 5, 2015, at 6:43 AM, Mark, Martin van der <<a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:martin.van.der.mark@philips.com" target="_blank" href="mailto:martin.van.der.mark@philips.com">martin.van.der.mark@philips.com</a>> wrote:</div></div><div class="yiv3899398018MsoNormal"> </div><div><div><div class="yiv3899398018MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;">Dear Chip, thank you for that reply.</span></div></div><div><div class="yiv3899398018MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;">Indeed, i also agree that the word "photon" has been used in different ways by me in the past.

The total energy does not come and go, so I agree with Martin, that the total mass is also principally constant, and does not oscillate in and out of existence, or between positive and negative mass. In fact this is one of the principles that I believe we must preserve in any model for an electron or photon. The constancy of the energy present. As a wave propagates, in any medium, the total energy in the wave remains constant, (ignoring friction or other disturbances) so the mass equivalence of that wave remains constant.</div></div><div><div class="yiv3899398018MsoNormal"> </div></div><div><div class="yiv3899398018MsoNormal">Chip</div></div><div><div class="yiv3899398018MsoNormal"> </div></div><div><div style="border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in;"><div><div class="yiv3899398018MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;">From:</span></b><span class="yiv3899398018apple-converted-space"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;"> </span></span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;">General [<a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:general-bounces+chipakins=gmail.com@lists.natureoflightandparticles.org" target="_blank" href="mailto:general-bounces+chipakins=gmail.com@lists.natureoflightandparticles.org"><span style="color:purple;">mailto:general-bounces+chipakins=gmail.com@lists.natureoflightandparticles.org</span></a>]<span class="yiv3899398018apple-converted-space"> </span><b>On Behalf Of<span class="yiv3899398018apple-converted-space"> </span></b>Richard Gauthier<br clear="none"><b>Sent:</b><span class="yiv3899398018apple-converted-space"> </span>Saturday, July 04, 2015 5:31 PM<br clear="none"><b>To:</b><span class="yiv3899398018apple-converted-space"> </span>Nature of Light and Particles - General Discussion<br clear="none"><b>Subject:</b><span class="yiv3899398018apple-converted-space"> </span>Re: [General] Physics in 100 years according to Wilczek</span></div></div></div></div><div><div class="yiv3899398018MsoNormal"> </div></div><div><div><div class="yiv3899398018MsoNormal">Martin (and all)</div></div></div><div><div><div class="yiv3899398018MsoNormal"> You say at the end of “Light is Heavy”: "<span style="font-size:10.0pt;">If the photon would be put to rest, its gravitational mass would equal its rest mass, and hence vanish.” </span> I think we can agree that the closest light can be to “rest” in a vacuum is if it traveling at light-speed in a closed circle (or at light-speed in a helix as seen from a moving frame) as in our electron models. I think the question “Does such a photon have a rest mass?” is fundamental to our electron models and I think it would be good if we were able to agree on a consistent answer that can be backed by rational arguments. I claim that this circulating (circularly or helically-moving) photon does have a constant rest mass (that of the electron) since it has energy E=gamma mc^2 but its average linear momentum is zero for a resting electron or p=gamma mv in the case of an electron moving with speed v (leading in either case to a calculation of rest mass m from the relativistic energy momentum equation E^2 = p^2 c^2 +m^2 c^4). Plus we know that an electron has a rest mass m so that the hypothetical photon composing the electron also must have the same rest mass m, whether the electron is moving or not. John W has indicated earlier (as I understood him) that this photon would not have a rest mass because the photon is moving at light-speed, but its confinement due to a pivot produces the rest mass of the electron. Martin seems to be saying in “Light is Heavy" that this circulating photon has a non-zero rest mass due to its self-confinement and so it is heavy. Are these two positions really different? Could both of you make a brief clarifying statement about this point, briefly summarizing your reasons, so we can see the level of our agreement or disagreement on this point?
