<div class="">Richard, not true. How does it work?</div>
<div class="">It only proves the end result, the quantized transfer, but not whether the field is intrinsically quantized.</div>
<div class="">There is an aweful lot of shit and confusion and parottery ( if that is a concept) about this. So, please dont quote it unless you can really explain why it makes the difference.</div>
<div class="">My position is actually that this is impossible at the deepest level!</div>
<div class="">But the consequence of that is that it is also impossible to make a description of a photon as being a particle! Because it is only a process, and that does not require existence and stability by itself, it aquires it within the context of the exchange
of energy and angular momentum by emitter, electromagnetic field and absorber. This is why the process can have any number of wavelenghts, any polarization and be entangled.</div>

<div class=""> I’m quoting from the Wikipedia article “Photon” at <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photon" class="">

<h3 class="">Photon Antibunching in Resonance Fluorescence, </h3>

<div class="">says: "The phenomenon of antibunching of photoelectric counts has been observed in resonance fluorescence experiments in which sodium atoms are continuously excited by a dye-laser beam. It is pointed out that, unlike photoelectric bunching, which
can be given a semiclassical interpretation, antibunching is understandable only in terms of a quantized electromagnetic field. The measurement also provides rather direct evidence for an atom undergoing a quantum jump."</div>

</div>
<div class="">You seem to be claiming that there is no definite experimental proof that light itself is quantized. Does the above experiment contradict your claim? You may say that the above experiment or any single experiment or group of experiments cannot
be completely conclusive. Well, is any physics experiment completely conclusive about a theory? Are you asking the impossible when you ask for conclusive experimental proof?</div>

of spacetime and the particle model. If I just proceed from first principles, I generate the electrostatic force if both particles had Planck charge rather than elementary charge e. In an earlier email, John W. considered this to be a defect. He said that

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class="">We have 4 contributors so far. It is very illuminating. I hope that at some point we can get convergence on at least some of the questions. John W. has added a question that everyone can add to the end
of the list:<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class="">I do not have time to answer the good comments in the individual emails right now (wife and premature twins, Grant and Remington, are in the hospital and all doing well). However, I hope to have time at
the Conference to do so in person for those present.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class="">I will not be arriving until 8:16PM on Sunday evening, so I cannot join the group (where ever) until about 9PM. Please do not wait until then to get started. I will be leaving Friday evening.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class="">My time and schedule are somewhat constrained by that of Bob Hudgins and Mary Fletcher, who will arrive earlier in the day. We are planning on renting a car and staying at a motel in South Bay where the
rates are more reasonable. if anyone else is doing something similar, please let me know.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></p>
