<div>Dear David, Richard and Chip,</div>
<div>Thanks for the comments, what we are dealing with here is quite a difficult question indeed.</div>
<div>First of all Chip, by your remark I can see you do really get the essence of and reason for my question, that is going to be helpfull.</div>
<div>Richard, certainly most of what you say is true and even relevant but does not yet hit on the deep implications of the possible answer of my question.</div>
<div>I must emphasize that do not denie any of the experimental facts commonly or less commonly known about quantum optics, etcetera.</div>
<div>Bunching and anti-bunching are true phenomena that shows transfer of energy goes in blips, and with certain statistics associated, in complete accordance of what we may think is a photon. Indeed, this is what IS a photon, this is what defines ot experimentally. </div>
<div>What I am saying is that one can jump to conclusions and imagine a simple picture of a photon being some quantum particle to explain the outcome of the experiments (and for that purpose it will, always, work perfectly). Alternatively one can take a more
involved point of view by asigning an essential role to the emitter and absorber to explain the experiment. Being lazy, that doesn't seem to be a comfortable option, but it does open the door to solving deeper questions:</div>
<div>What is the nature of the photon?<br>
The alternative view relieves the photon from having on board everything to define it. That is the crucial insight.</div>
<div>After a century in which no person has been able to answer the question, this seems to be a viable option. On top of that, it solves non-locality issues.</div>
<div>Cheers, Martin</div>

<div class="">Hi Chip,</div>
<div class=""> There’s a long history and fight among the founders of quantum mechanics since 1926 about whether quantum processes can be treated as continuous (Schrodinger and others) or discrete quantum jumps (Heisenberg and others). Their two quantum
calculation methods (wave mechanics and matrix mechanics) were shown to be mathematically equivalent. And Einstein's ideas in 1905 about the light quantum (later named photon) as a carrier of light energy weren’t really generally accepted until 1923 with
the Compton effect where photons seem to act like billiard balls in terms of their energy and momentum interactions with electrons. Semi-Classical physics argues that emission and absorption processes are quantized but energy transmission through radiation
remains classical. Most physicists don’t accept semi-classical ideas any more and accept that the photon carries quantized energy given by E=hf even when photons are not being emitted or absorbed. QED supposedly solved the problem by renormalizing infinities
to finite numbers. Dirac was never satisfied with this approach (ugly math), but QED does give very precise answers. So it’s a long and continuing story. I think that Compton wavelength-sized electron models are a key to deeper understanding of all this, because
this length is often treated as a cutoff length in calculating the force between two electrons which might otherwise be treated as point charges associated with infinite energies.</div>

<span style="" class="">The question of whether the “photon” is inherently quantized, or just appears quantized to us, through our observation of the reaction of the quantized emitters and absorbers, seems to be an important aspect for creating a full understanding

<span style="" class="">The process of emission is a quantized process, as is the process of absorption. But since a photon can be any number of wavelengths, depending on the quantized configuration of the emission process, it seems that the photon itself cannot
be strongly quantized, and may have no inherent quantization at all, meaning no forces in itself which cause it to be quantized. We know that fermions have forces which cause their resonant nature and quantization.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div>

That’s fine. But why focus on the photon as not a particle but a process? The emitter, electromagnetic field and absorber are processes also and not particles. So what is the source of existence and stability of all these? Everything is process. So where
do we go from here? Quantum effects are also process. Does that not make them less physical? <o:p class=""></o:p></div>

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.<o:p class=""></o:p></div>

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?<o:p class=""></o:p></div>

Looking forward to talking w you at the conference.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br class="">

I recognized that most of us have too much to say on most of the items. Could you perhaps provide chapter or page of sections of your book that pertain to the questions? That would give an interested party a handy guide to the more detailed info and to your
book.<o:p class=""></o:p></p>

<span style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);" class="">I have found it very hard to write the concise answers required for the questionnaire. The reason is that I have much more detailed answers for each of the questions than most other people in the group. For example,
I have just finished what I believe is the final substantive draft of my book titled “The Universe is Only Spacetime”. It is now over 400 pages. The portion of the book addressed by the questions extends from chapter 4 to chapter 11. This is a total of 134
pages. Furthermore, I get into substantial quantitative detail and proofs which make short answers impossible.</span><o:p class=""></o:p></div>

<span style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);" class="">For example, with electrons I have explained and quantified two components of the electron model. This model does not derive either the electron’s Compton frequency or the fine structure constant. However, if these
two numbers are provided, I can derive the electron’s energy, inertia, gravitational curvature of spacetime, gravitational force with another fundamental particle, and electrostatic force with another fundamental particle. This derivation comes from the properties
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
I had missed the correct value by more than a factor of 100 (missed by 1/</span><span style="font-family: 'Cambria Math', serif; color: rgb(68, 68, 68);" class="">á</span><span style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);" class="">). This is ironic because I was quite
happy with this answer.

any other model which has passed this test, I would be interested in hearing about it. </span><o:p class=""></o:p></div>

<span style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);" class="">I have not mentioned it before, but my model also generates the strong force. The model also produces asymptotic freedom when quarks are bound together into hadrons and explains why the strong force increases as
the separation distance is increased beyond the natural distance which produces asymptotic freedom. (all in the book.)</span><o:p class=""></o:p></div>

<span style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);" class="">On another point, I believe that any model of particles that does not include waves which modulate the rate of time will never be able to generate either curved spacetime or the gravitational force. It is my understanding
that Chandra’s CTF model only involves the 3 spatial dimensions without involving time. If he introduces time into his model, then my model and his model would be very close.</span><o:p class=""></o:p></div>

<span style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);" class="">Finally, I object to characterizing an electron as being a confined photon. I believe that a photon and an electron are both made of the same fundamental building block. Therefore photons can be converted to electron/positron
pairs and vice versa. They are closely related, but saying that an electron is an oscillating confined photon implies that a photon is the fundamental building block of the universe or at least particles. It also implies that we will never be able to understand
an electric field, a magnetic field or a charge in terms of a distortion of a more fundamental component.</span><o:p class=""></o:p></div>

<span style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);" class="">I explain all of these in terms of a distortion of energetic spacetime. I claim that an electric field, a magnetic field and even a gravitational field have both an oscillating component and a non-oscillating component.
I give equations for these in the book. I show that the oscillating component gives the correct energy density to the electric and magnetic field. I also propose that a gravitational field has an energy density. I combine this with the energy of the spacetime
field and show how the interaction generates a black hole when the energy density of the gravitational field at a particular frequency matches the energy density of spacetime at that frequency.</span><o:p class=""></o:p></div>
