I appreciate Wheeler's "it from bit" approach to the creation of matter ("it") from binary information choices ("bit").

George Gamow (who helped develop the big bang theory) said "ylem" is an old Hebrew word meaning "material from which elements were formed".

The double-helix photon model is not a zitterbewegung model. The zitterbewegung term refers to the internal frequency F=2mc^2/h of the Dirac electron, and related spatial models of the electron (or other particles). My relativistic quantum-vortex zitterbewegung model of the electron (see Part 2: Crossing lightspeed at <a href="http://richardgauthier.academia.edu/research" class="">richardgauthier.academia.edu/research</a>) is shown below first for a resting electron model (on the left) and then for a very highly relativistic electron model on the right). (The electron/positron model shrinks in size as 1/gamma with increasingly gamma of the electron/positron, as can be seen from the parametric equations below). In both resting and highly relativistic cases the superluminal energy quantum (SEQ) moves along a mathematical surface — a horn torus for the resting electron or positron model. As gamma increases, this mathematical surface transforms into a sphere for a highly relativistic (large gamma) electron or positron model. Interestingly, in both cases the minimum speed of the SEQ composing the resting model and the highly relativistic model is calculated to be c, while the SEQ's maximum speed is calculated in both cases to be c sqrt(5) = 2.236 c. Coincidence? In between these extremes, the SEC is fully superluminal for two states (electric charge and spin combinations) and goes subliminal and back to superluminal during each SEQ cycle for the other two electric charge and spin combinations. I wonder if you could reduce both of these internally superluminal (and sometimes subluminal) quantum-vortex electron/positron models to having an internal movement purely at speed c.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""> with best wishes,</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""> Richard</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The parametric equations for the superluminal energy quantum composing the relativistic quantum-vortex positron/electron model are given by</div><div class=""><span id="cid:3D1B2483-2197-4341-B3AA-E914000B2BD7@hsd1.ca.comcast.net." class=""><Screen Shot 2019-07-04 at 2.34.32 PM.png></span></div><div class="">Below: the resting electron model (left) and the highly relativist electron model (right).

property of light discovered<br class="">
by Bob Yirka, Science X Network, <a href="http://phys.org/" class="" moz-do-not-send="true">Phys.org</a><br class="">
<br class="">
A team of researchers affiliated with
several institutions in Spain and the U.S.
has<br class="">
announced that they have discovered a new
property of light—self-torque. In their
paper<br class="">
published in the journal Science, the
group describes how they happened to spot
the new<br class="">
property and possible uses for it.<br class="">
<br class="">
Scientists have long known about such
properties of light as wavelength. More
recently,<br class="">
researchers have found that light can also
be twisted, a property called angular<br class="">
momentum. Beams with highly structured
angular momentum are said to have orbital<br class="">
angular momentum (OAM), and are called
vortex beams. They appear as a helix<br class="">
surrounding a common center, and when they
strike a flat surface, they appear as<br class="">
doughnut-shaped. In this new effort, the
researchers were working with OAM beams<br class="">
when they found the light behaving in a
way that had never been seen before.<br class="">
<br class="">
The experiments involved firing two lasers
at a cloud of argon gas—doing so forced
the<br class="">
beams to overlap, and they joined and were
emitted as a single beam from the other
side<br class="">
of the argon cloud. The result was a type
of vortex beam. The researchers then<br class="">
wondered what would happen if the lasers
had different orbital angular momentum and
if<br class="">
they were slightly out of sync. This
resulted in a beam that looked like a
corkscrew with a<br class="">
gradually changing twist. And when the
beam struck a flat surface, it looked like
a<br class="">
crescent moon. The researchers noted that
looked at another way, a single photon at
the<br class="">
front of the beam was orbiting around its
center more slowly than a photon at the
back of<br class="">
the beam. The researchers promptly dubbed
the new property self-torque—and not only<br class="">
is it a newly discovered property of
light, it is also one that has never even
been<br class="">
predicted.<br class="">
<br class="">
The researchers suggest that it should be
possible to use their technique to
modulate the<br class="">
orbital angular momentum of light in ways
very similar to modulating frequencies in<br class="">
communications equipment. This could lead
to the development of novel devices that<br class="">
make use of manipulating extremely tiny
materials.<br class="">
