Is this an accurate reflection of your view?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>By the way, I agree that Compton Scattering does not prove the photon is a particle. If we treat the electron in its entirety as a set of circulating fields, and use a photon model which seems realistic based on experiment.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>When I try to conceive your illustrated electron model as a set of standing waves, it kind of looks like an onion in a 3D view. With waves moving inward and waves moving outward. But you also say that it is a vortex, with angular momentum, which, in my mind, conjures up a notion of circulating fields instead of the standing wave model. Circulating fields, when viewed from any point external to the model, contain an advancing and a retreating wave component as well. But it seems the two models are not compatible. Thoughts?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Also, have you considered using a full set of wave equations, which go beyond the longitudinal acoustic formulation and accommodates both transverse and longitudinal waves?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Is there some compelling reason in your mind not to follow this avenue?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Chip<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b>From:</b> General [mailto:general-bounces+chipakins=gmail.com@lists.natureoflightandparticles.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>John Macken<br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, July 16, 2015 2:21 AM<br><b>To:</b> Nature of Light and Particles<br><b>Subject:</b> [General] The New Aether<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>Hello All,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>Attached is a copy of the paper that I submitted for the SPIE conference except that it is in a 2 column format which I prefer for informal circulation. In particular, I would like to call your attention to section 2 of this paper starting on page 2 and finishing on page 4. Many parts of this paper were inspired by this group, but particularly this section 2. The message has come through loud and clear that no one else believes that spacetime can have the energy density that I propose. This section addresses that point. I also like the quote contained in the first paragraph. I think that it sets the stage for the rest of the paper. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>I will be traveling for a few days, so I might not be able to answer comments immediately.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>John M.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
