That does not seem to be consistent with the case of the Dirac equation which was first analyzed by Schroedinger for a freely moving electron, where he obtained a quantum solution that includes the zitterbewegung of the electron’s charge in addition to the forward velocity of the electron. Later Hestenes reanalyzed the Dirac equation for a free electron using Clifford algebra, giving rise to his “zitter model” of the electron with a helically moving (with radius hbar/2mc) light-speed charge modeling a moving free electron. </div><div class=""> And finally, I show in my SPIE article “The electron is a spin 1/2 charged photon generating the de Broglie wavelength” and previously, with relatively simple math, that a charged quantum moving helically at lightspeed along its helical trajectory and generating plane waves directed along its helical trajectory will generate the electron's quantum wave along its longitudinal axis having the de Broglie wavelength h/(gamma mv) and moving longitudinally with a phase velocity c^2/v where v is the velocity of the moving electron modeled by the helically moving charged quantum. De Broglie also obtained this result for the relativistic electron in a more complicated way (using harmony of phases) in his Ph.D. thesis and in a previously published article. John W does not seem to accept helical motion for the internal light-speed motion in an electron because it violates the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. But we are all trying to look deeper than the Heisenberg uncertainty principle by modeling the electron as an internally-lightspeed energy configuration, and are trying to understand what underlies quantum mechanics, so all approaches are fair game — it is results that count. I was as surprised as probably you would have been when I derived the above results in this paragraph based on the wavelength of the hypothesized helically moving charged photon model and how its wavelength decreases with gamma for a moving electron as the charged photon's frequency (related to the electron’s total energy) increases. So I just don’t accept, at least from what you have said is the case for a bound electron, that a stable quantum solution for an internally-lightspeed-helically-moving spin 1/2 charged photon model for an unbound electron can’t exist. And I predict that there will be stable wave function solutions for an internally-helically-moving-light-speed bound electron model, moving for example in a Coulomb potential, also.</div><div class=""> with best regards,</div><div class=""> Richard</div><br class=""><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Aug 5, 2015, at 8:31 AM, Mark, Martin van der <<a href="mailto:martin.van.der.mark@philips.com" class="">martin.van.der.mark@philips.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div class="WordSection1" style="page: WordSection1; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);" class="">David, <o:p class=""></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);" class="">a very nice mathematical representation of this is the space-time algebra CL(1,3), also known as geometric algebra.

So a STABLE SOLUTION of your putative charged photon inside a model particle must also have such a stationary state when viewed in its proper frame and it bites its own tail. Hopefully, if your model particle is a like an electron, it has no, or few excited states (perhaps just muon and tauon) and the ground state will be a SINGLE MODE DIFFRACTED STATIONARY WAVE, not because I like it or say it, but because it is. Hence it has a size related to the wavelength (depending on dimensionality of the problem, but for example 1D we all know it is ½ wavelength) and it is diffracted out into ALL available dimensions, and all dimensions will take part in defining what is now the fundamental mode of the system.</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;" class=""><o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div><div class=""><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; background-color: white;" class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="">So, in 3D we have more walls that define more “quantum numbers”: in (x, y, z) or better (r, theta, phi).

font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; background-color: white;" class=""><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;" class=""> I object to a particle's circulating energy being characterized as “biting its own tail”. In a moving double-looping electron model the axis of the electron’s circulating energy can become helical and does not remain circular like a donut. The electron's energy then moves snakelike through space with its “head” always in front of its “tail”, without any biting of the tail. The electron’s energy only appears to be biting its tail in a resting electron, but even here the “head” would have to pass beside and not through its “tail" after one circumference. In a double-looping tail-biting resting electron model, if the moving energy "bites its tail", at the end of the first cycle the energy’s wave motion would cancel itself out because the energy of the head would meet its extended energy 180 degrees out of phase (assuming the electron's energy is spread out). One way for a resting electron’s circulating energy to not cancel out the first time around in a double-looping electron model is if the energy even in the resting electron moves helically in a closed double-looping helix. At the end of the first round the energy is on one side of its closed mathematical circular axis and at the end of the second round its energy is on the other side of its mathematical circular axis, where the extended energy is again in phase with itself. That is, the electron’s energy even in a resting electron is moving helically with a non-zero helical radius along a mathematical toroidal surface around a mathematical double-looped helical axis of double-loop length h/mc, the Compton wavelength. (This is not the toroidal topology of the 1997 article.) The circulation frequency of a stationary electron’s energy in a double-looped electron model is therefore the zitterbewegung frequency Fzitt=2mc^2/h. And in a moving electron the electron’s energy is vibrating at an increased frequency (because the electron’s energy is increased) with a correspondingly decreased wavelength, while moving in a helix-on-a-helix motion (instead of a helix on a circle for a resting electron.)<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div></div><div class=""><div class=""><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; background-color: white;" class=""><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;" class=""> Richard<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div></div></div><div class=""><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; background-color: white;" class=""><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;" class=""> <o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1438784209367_14945" class=""><blockquote style="margin-top: 5pt; margin-bottom: 5pt;" class=""><div class=""><div class=""><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; background-color: white;" class=""><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="">On Aug 5, 2015, at 5:14 AM, Chip Akins <<a href="mailto:chipakins@gmail.com" target="_blank" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline;" class="">chipakins@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div></div><div class=""><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; background-color: white;" class=""><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;" class=""> <o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1438784209367_14943" class=""><div style="margin-bottom: 10pt;" class=""><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; background-color: white;" class=""><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="">Hi Martin<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 10pt;" class=""><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; background-color: white;" class=""><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="">As always, it is informative to get your take on these issues.

Particles have an existence of their own. They exist in space, and they can travel through space, in fact the stuff in fermionic particles is traveling through space at principally the same speed as a photon moves, even though the particle itself is not generally moving near as fast. They are made of the same stuff, and that stuff can exist independently in space. That stuff does not require an emitter and an absorber in order to exist. That stuff in particles is clearly not occupying the “same point in spacetime” for the duration of its existence. So I see no need for the photon to have to identify the absorber at emission. Space is a completely satisfactory destination for a photon at emission, just as space is a completely valid container and manager of the energy in fermionic particles. Whether the photon travels for microseconds or billions of years, it exists, independently, in space until it is absorbed, just as the particles can exist independently.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 10pt;" class=""><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; background-color: white;" class=""><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="">Of course I may be wrong about this, and probably many other items, but so far this is how it seems to me. <span class="yiv6252441753apple-converted-space"> </span><o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 10pt;" class=""><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; background-color: white;" class=""><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="">Warmest Regards<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 10pt;" class=""><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; background-color: white;" class=""><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;" class=""> <o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 10pt;" class=""><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; background-color: white;" class=""><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="">Chip<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 10pt;" class=""><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; background-color: white;" class=""><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;" class=""> <o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div><div class=""><div style="border-style: solid none none; border-top-color: rgb(225, 225, 225); border-top-width: 1pt; padding: 3pt 0cm 0cm;" class=""><div class=""><div class=""><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; background-color: white;" class=""><b class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="">From:</span></b><span class="yiv6252441753apple-converted-space"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;" class=""> </span></span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="">General [<a href="mailto:general-bounces+chipakins=gmail.com@lists.natureoflightandparticles.org" target="_blank" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline;" class=""><span style="color: purple;" class="">mailto:general-bounces+chipakins=gmail.com@lists.natureoflightandparticles.org</span></a>]<span class="yiv6252441753apple-converted-space"> </span><b class="">On Behalf Of<span class="yiv6252441753apple-converted-space"> </span></b>John Williamson<br class=""><b class="">Sent:</b><span class="yiv6252441753apple-converted-space"> </span>Tuesday, August 04, 2015 8:07 PM<br class=""><b class="">To:</b><span class="yiv6252441753apple-converted-space"> </span>Nature of Light and Particles - General Discussion<br class=""><b class="">Subject:</b><span class="yiv6252441753apple-converted-space"> </span>Re: [General] Space time and interaction</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;" class=""><o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 10pt;" class=""><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; background-color: white;" class=""><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;" class=""> <o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div><div class=""><div style="margin-bottom: 12pt;" class=""><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; background-color: white;" class=""><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="">Dear Chip,<br class=""><br class="">I too must apologise for presuming you had missed my earlier point.<br class=""><br class="">I do hope I am missing something!

Imagine emitter stationary and absorber moving towards it (this is the reverse of absorber (observer) stationary as is usual – but this helps make the point. Emitter emits a red photon, absorber absorbs the same photon as blue. Emitter sends out a phase profile at one frequency, absorber sees the same profile coming in, the same number of cycles, but at a different (higher) frequency. In the centre of mass frame the same photon appears at an intermediate frequency and appears green. These are all the same photon. One could argue that “properly” this particular photon is green as this is its frame and characterises its energy. Take R=1 for this frame. Think though – for the absorber the energy does NOT come in all at once. Wallop! On the contrary, it comes in with the phase profile which is relatively (by the factor R in by first paper) high frequency with respect to its own clock than it was (factor 1/R) lower for the emitter. This is relativity, look at the derivation in my photon paper! There is no “event at the same point in space or time” for either emitter absorber or centre of mass. The phase profile is the same for each – but longer or shorter with respect to the particles internal ruler and clock. Each individual particle has only one ruler and clock. Itself. The energy comes in, resonantly, over a large number of cycles. The energy is emitted, resonantly over the same number of cycles. The resonance, the locality of the photon, is ensured by the fact that, for the photon, any point in phase is at the same space-time (not space or time) point for both emitter and absorber. This is mere maths. Space-time is mere maths. Physics is the physical properties of the particles, and underlying this the space and time defined for each by their rulers and clocks. And locality defined by the properties of the rulers and clocks. The rulers and clocks are infinetely stretchy though. They have toi be to deal with teh linearity of energy, the linearity of field and the effects that are observed in experiment.

You are right that things can be understood provided they are properly explained. I will try ...<br class=""><br class="">You are confusing yourself, I think, in your use of language. The problem is largely the word "point" and the meaning which you assign to it. This is a common problem. It is difficult to talk about concepts one does not have a word for. Your concept of "point" seems to me the common one of a "place with zero extent". This is the definition of a "mathematical point" you will get if you look at Wikipedia.<span class="yiv6252441753apple-converted-space"> </span><br class=""><br class="">This is a pretty useless concept. It is a place which is a close as you like to not there at all. A place is better represented by a co-ordinate - represented by a vector with respect to some useful origin. Let us call this a "place" to distinguish it. Likewise a space-time point is anything but a point. It extends over a lightcone, backwards to the beginning of time (and space) and forwards to its end. Not very point-like then (and point-like is yet another concept again). It is, indeed, impossible to conceive of a wave at a single place. That is just silly. Do not even try!<br class=""><br class="">Now consider a single photon event. The maths is such that all points along an element of the photon path occur at the same co-ordinate in space time for one particular frame (and not for any other - and this is crucial). That "event" (and we could better use the word "event" instead of "point" - though a third word would be better (Bell uses be-able but I do not like this - transaction is also possible but has extra connotations). Lets just invent a word ... no I'll use the word con-junction. Ok consider a con-junction between two distinct spatial points at two distinct times as measured in two distinct frames, through a third object (an exchange photon). This travels FROM one TO the other. This is CAUSALITY. The emitter loses and the absorber gains energy. This is the arrow of time. Forget thermodynamics. It is that simple.<br class=""><br class="">Consider what the absorber "sees". It sees a photon coming in form its past. It has been acted upon by an object. That object usually had higher energy (this is thermodynamics). This object is ALWAYS in its past.<br class=""><br class="">Now think about the exchange photon itself. It has a certain number of cycles. For the sake of argument let us imagine it is a right circularly polarised photon, carrying one unit of angular momentum and that it looks like a flying corkscrew (Cheers Martin) of electromagnetic field precisely a thousand "turns" long (this is a pretty short photon). In the emitter frame it is a thousand turns long. In the absorber frame it is a thousand turns long. In the centre of mass frame it is a thousand turns long. In any inertial frame it is a thousand turns long. In no frame is it anything other than a thousand turns long. There is no frame where it is at a single place. In all frames it is a thousand turn wave (ok - I know an abrupt transition is unphysical at the ends, but you get what I mean). Now, if one travels at the front of it, at the speed of light, the phase front remains at a fixed phase. This is not the same as saying that it is a "point". Your friend, travelling one wavelength behind, is indeed at a slightly different spatial and temporal position. How different this is depends on which frame you view it from. The thing is you, at this speed, "see" the emitter just behind you- a moment ago, and the absorber just ahead. So does your friend. You have a thousand friends. They all see this. The time as measured for emission depends on the frequency in that frame. A thousand counts. Likewise for absorption (still a thousand but this may be red or blueshifted, so time will be different in general).<br class=""><br class="">Now let us look from the point of view of the emitter. Does it "see" the future? No - it sees nothing. It has shucked off some energy. It is gone. In the next instant that energy is outside its lightcone. It is no longer part of its observable universe. Lets imagine it is an intelligent emitter (which can do maths). It may calculate that there is a theoretical possibility of an advanced wave solution that is tachyonic (travelling faster than light) arising from the absorber. Fine. In its frame this constitutes a negative energy solution travelling backwards in time. This is exactly the same solution as the positive energy solution travelling forwards in time. It has to be. It is the same photon. In both cases the event is causal in terms of the flow of time for each observer.<br class=""><br class="">In fact the process is causal whichever frame one looks from. The cause arises from the object with the initial energy, the effect is that of the reception of that energy packet. All observers agree where the energy came from and where it went to. That is all there is to an inter-action.<br class=""><br class="">There is nothing spooky. No action at a distance. It is just not so that there is just the one location. For each even there are (at least) three: emitter, absorber and exchange. There are as many locations as there are in the combinatoric interactions of all of the particles in the universe.

The properties of space manage and control all energy. Martin’s “Light is heavy” paper illustrates part of the point, that energy, in any form, in space, has mass-like effects. And for me, that also implies that light has an independent existence in space once emitted. Additionally, why state that matter is made of the same stuff as light, and then ignore the relativistic consequences of that statement? For if that statement is true, then there is a clear Euclidian definition for 3 space, and a clear cause for time, as we perceive it.<span class="yiv6252441753apple-converted-space"> </span><o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 10pt;" class=""><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; background-color: white;" class=""><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="">So I am coming to believe that Chandra’s CTF is more plausible than 4 space, and that 4 space is only a representation of the interaction of matter (fermions) with space.

Right to the heart of the matter indeed!<br class=""><br class="">I think it is wise to pause and go back here to the origin of dialectic itself - the Greek invention to begin to split up the world and systematise it. The idea that a question could be asked sufficient to split the answer into two possibilities, one true one false. I think the answer to "is the photon quantised or is it the emitter and/or absorber" is ... "all three" because "all three" are part of the single process that we call photon exchange. Also the word "photon" as opposed to "light" simply CARRIES the meaning of "quantised". This is a trite way to end an argument, but does not say anything about the deep understanding of why and how it is "quantised". Saying "quantised is often giving a word to sum up a lack of knowledge, to encompass a lack of understanding into a simple label. We humans have been doing this sort of thing for a long time. There is an awful lot of room for bullshit here and it is easy to fool oneself into thinking something has deep meaning, when in fact it is contingent on the mathematical framework in which one considers it. To illustrate this, just look at my light paper! The maths quantises continuous light if it is more than a few wavelengths long - but is the maths right? Who knows?<br class=""><br class="">Coming back to experiment, it may be nice to think about an emitter emitting a single photon bullet, later absorbed by an absorber, with the photon having an independent existence in between but this is not only not what is observed in experiment, but the whole body of evidence contradicts this simple view. Emitter and absorber ARE experimentally entangled. Antibunching happens - but it part of a whole process. There is also the Hanbury-Brown Twiss effect to consider. The "interaction with absorber" theory also plays a role - bringing in the question of causality itself. As Martin says this is a huge question.<br class=""><br class="">Remember also that the whole theme of the bi-ennial conference Chandra has been organising for more than a decade has been to try to answer the very point of "what is a photon?". The fact that a conclusive answer has not yet emerged tells the story.<br class=""><br class="">My own view is that the emitter AND absorber need to be quantised, but quantised in the same way. There is a need to look at Phat photons as a good experimental probe here and also, as I suggest in my "light" paper, emitters and absorbers in the fractional quantum Hall regime may have fractional quantisation E = 1/3 h nu (you heard it here first!). This would show, conclusively, the role the emitter and absorber play, but still not settle the question posed properly as I think the fractional quantisation itself is not yet properly understood..<br class=""><br class="">I think to make proper progress we need to develop a better theory that fits all the facts - just and no more. A theory that lays bare the nature of the emitter, the absorber, and the intermediating process - all at once and from a deeper underlying basis. A theory that allows the whole process to be understood within a single framework.<br class=""><br class="">Should be fun trying this, even if we cannot sort it all out next week!<br class=""><br class="">Regards, John W.</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;" class=""><o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div><div class=""><div style="margin-bottom: 10pt;" class=""><div class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: center; background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;" class=""><hr size="2" width="100%" align="center" class=""></span></div></div><div id="yiv6252441753divRpF223179" class=""><div style="margin-bottom: 12pt;" class=""><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; background-color: white;" class=""><b class=""><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="">From:</span></b><span class="yiv6252441753apple-converted-space"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;" class=""> </span></span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="">General [<a href="mailto:general-bounces+john.williamson=glasgow.ac.uk@lists.natureoflightandparticles.org" target="_blank" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline;" class=""><span style="color: purple;" class="">general-bounces+john.williamson=glasgow.ac.uk@lists.natureoflightandparticles.org</span></a>] on behalf of Mark, Martin van der [<a href="mailto:martin.van.der.mark@philips.com" target="_blank" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline;" class=""><span style="color: purple;" class="">martin.van.der.mark@philips.com</span></a>]<br class=""><b class="">Sent:</b><span class="yiv6252441753apple-converted-space"> </span>Monday, August 03, 2015 12:55 PM<br class=""><b class="">To:</b><span class="yiv6252441753apple-converted-space"> </span>Nature of Light and Particles - General Discussion<br class=""><b class="">Subject:</b><span class="yiv6252441753apple-converted-space"> </span>Re: [General] Questionnaire</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;" class=""><o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div></div><div class=""><div class=""><div style="margin-bottom: 10pt;" class=""><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; background-color: white;" class=""><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="">Dear David, Richard and Chip,<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div></div><div class=""><div style="margin-bottom: 10pt;" class=""><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; background-color: white;" class=""><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="">Thanks for the comments, what we are dealing with here is quite a difficult question indeed.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div></div><div class=""><div style="margin-bottom: 10pt;" class=""><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; background-color: white;" class=""><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="">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.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div></div><div class=""><div style="margin-bottom: 10pt;" class=""><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; background-color: white;" class=""><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="">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.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div></div><div class=""><div style="margin-bottom: 10pt;" class=""><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; background-color: white;" class=""><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="">I must emphasize that do not denie any of the experimental facts commonly or less commonly known about quantum optics, etcetera.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div></div><div class=""><div style="margin-bottom: 10pt;" class=""><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; background-color: white;" class=""><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="">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.

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.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div></div><div class=""><div style="margin-bottom: 10pt;" class=""><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; background-color: white;" class=""><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;" class=""> Richard<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div></div><div class=""><div style="margin-bottom: 10pt;" class=""><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; background-color: white;" class=""><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;" class=""> <o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 10pt;" class=""><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; background-color: white;" class=""><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;" class=""> <o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div><div class=""><blockquote style="margin-top: 5pt; margin-bottom: 5pt;" class=""><div class=""><div style="margin-bottom: 10pt;" class=""><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; background-color: white;" class=""><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="">On Aug 2, 2015, at 7:07 PM, Chip Akins <<a href="mailto:chipakins@gmail.com" target="_blank" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline;" class=""><span style="color: purple;" class="">chipakins@gmail.com</span></a>> wrote:<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 10pt;" class=""><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; background-color: white;" class=""><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;" class=""> <o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div><div class=""><div class=""><div class=""><div style="margin-bottom: 10pt;" class=""><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; background-color: white;" class=""><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="">Hi Richard<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div></div><div class=""><div style="margin-bottom: 10pt;" class=""><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; background-color: white;" class=""><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;" class=""> <o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div></div><div class=""><div style="margin-bottom: 10pt;" class=""><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; background-color: white;" class=""><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;" 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 of the nature of “photons”, and their reaction with particles.<span class="yiv6252441753apple-converted-space"> </span><o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div></div><div class=""><div style="margin-bottom: 10pt;" class=""><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; background-color: white;" class=""><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="">The process of emission is a quantized process, as is the process of absorption.

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.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div></div></div><div class=""><div class=""><div style="margin-bottom: 10pt;" class=""><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; background-color: white;" class=""><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;" class=""> <o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div></div></div><div class=""><div class=""><div style="margin-bottom: 10pt;" class=""><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; background-color: white;" class=""><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;" 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/α). This is ironic because I was quite happy with this answer. I was calculation the force assuming a coupling constant of 1, not the electron’s force with a mysterious coupling constant of alpha (α).<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div></div></div><div class=""><div class=""><div style="margin-bottom: 10pt;" class=""><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; background-color: white;" class=""><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;" class=""> <o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div></div></div><div class=""><div class=""><div style="margin-bottom: 10pt;" class=""><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; background-color: white;" class=""><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="">I believe that this is the first time that a model of a fundamental particle has been able to generate the gravitational force and the electrostatic force even assuming a coupling constant of 1.

If he introduces time into his model, then my model and his model would be very close.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div></div></div><div class=""><div class=""><div style="margin-bottom: 10pt;" class=""><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; background-color: white;" class=""><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;" class=""> <o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div></div></div><div class=""><div class=""><div style="margin-bottom: 10pt;" class=""><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; background-color: white;" class=""><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;" 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.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div></div></div><div class=""><div class=""><div style="margin-bottom: 10pt;" class=""><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; background-color: white;" class=""><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;" class=""> <o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div></div></div><div class=""><div class=""><div style="margin-bottom: 10pt;" class=""><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; background-color: white;" class=""><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;" 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.
