A Snapshot of a Photon
The photon has been viewed as a somewhat mysterious entity which sometimes
has the properties of a particle and sometimes has the properties oaf a wave.
It would seem interesting to see, therefore, whether we can determine what a
photon would look like if we had a "godlike" ability to "see" it without the
restrictions imposed by our limits of observation.
Since the photon is electromagnetic in nature, perhaps the best place to
start is by examining the nature of an electromagnetic wave emitted by a
dipole, such as the antenna of a radio transmitter. There is no question that
this radiation consists of crossed electric and magnetic fields having a 90
degree phase relationship to each other. These fields are readily observed and
allow us to use them for communication over distance. (See
http://www.members.aol.com/einsteinhoax/cf131.gif ). We also know by
observation that this wave is actually composed of discrete "lumps" of energy
called photons because it is noisy. The noise energy of the wave varies in
proportion to the square root of its total energy. As a result, the signal
(energy in the wave) to noise (energy in the wave components) ratio of the wave
itself varies inversely with the square root of the waves strength. The effect
is well described in handbooks on electromagnetic communication and seems
beyond challenge.
If we attenuate the wave sufficiently, it becomes a parade of the
individual particles (photons) appearing as separate entities which may be
detected separately.
The question to be answered is what the nature of these particles must be so
that in the aggregate they can form a smooth continuous wave. To meet this
requirement, the photons in the wave must be coherent. This means that they
must have the same polarization and be appropriately phased so that they can
add properly. (In lasers this coherency is defined as the distance of millions
of cycles over which the phase and polarization match is maintained.)

The question to be answered is what form does the photon have to be in
order to be capable of combining with other wavelets to form the coherent wave.
The answer is probably provided by the "Impulse Function", 1/(e*x^2).
Multiplying the continuous wave by this function provides, for the photons
which compose the wave. a shape shown by
http://www.members.aol.com/einsteinhoax/cf133.gif. One only need to imagine the
electric and magnetic components of this construction propagating along its
axis at the velocity of light to envision what a photon "looks like".
When one combines this shape with the quantum coupling between photons
which has been demonstrated by the work of Quantum Physicists, one finds that
he describes the kind of entity that has the dual wave an particle properties
we associate with a photon. The only question left is why the nature of the
photon is considered to be mysterious.

A Snapshot of a Photon

The photon has been viewed as a somewhat mysterious entity which

sometimes

has the properties of a particle and sometimes has the properties oaf a

wave.

It would seem interesting to see, therefore, whether we can determine what

a

photon would look like if we had a "godlike" ability to "see" it without

the

restrictions imposed by our limits of observation.

Since photons have nothing mysterious to do with seeing, there's no reason
to quote "see".
Given that they aren't even atomic in nature, which is what imposes
the limits of observation, rather than physics journals.

Since the photon is electromagnetic in nature, perhaps the best place

to

start is by examining the nature of an electromagnetic wave emitted by a
dipole, such as the antenna of a radio transmitter. There is no question

that

this radiation consists of crossed electric and magnetic fields having a

90

degree phase relationship to each other. These fields are readily observed

and

allow us to use them for communication over distance. (See
http://www.members.aol.com/einsteinhoax/cf131.gif ). We also know by
observation that this wave is actually composed of discrete "lumps" of

energy

called photons because it is noisy.

But the since "noise" can be removed *completely* at
the temperatures of liquid helium, it is obviously not noise.
The noise energy of the wave varies in

proportion to the square root of its total energy. As a result, the signal
(energy in the wave) to noise (energy in the wave components) ratio of the

wave

itself varies inversely with the square root of the waves strength. The

effect

is well described in handbooks on electromagnetic communication and seems
beyond challenge.

No it's not. Since E-M theory is based on *classical* wave theory,
just like *all* handbooks are.

There is plenty of question about that. Maxwell's Equations very clearly
state the electric and magnetic fields from EM radiation are _in phase_.
The 90 degree phase separation pops up when you look at the (separate)
electric and magnetic fields in the elements of a tuned circuit.

At resonance, the capacitive (Electric) and inductive (Magnetic) fields
in a tuned circuit differ by 180 degrees from each other,
and are orthogonal to a line defined
by the source (Power input) and sink (Power output)
of the circuit.
The electric and magnetic fields are
offset in frequencies outside of resonance.
It is interesting to see that the "complex conjugation"
used to orient non-resonant conditions to the source/sink reference
is basically an effort to define the direction of time.
Power flows downhill (From source to sink.),
and "complex conjugation" differentiates
between directions in time, and a static condition.
A system is static if the complex conjugate is 180 degrees.

My vision of a photon is different, perchance because there is too much
mythology involved with what is the electric field, magnetic field, and
charge. In my mythology, the Key is defining reality as operators and
arrays of information. So, for example, an electric or magnetic field is
just the streaming of information through space. The streaming is the
vector _A_, and if it flows from creation to annihilation (positive to
negative charge), the flow is across an element of time, so it is the
partial of _A_ with respect to time. Likewise the B field is just the
vortex flow of information in space or the curl of A.
That means the information pattern that constitutes a photon is like the
_A_ flowing along as if it were tracing out the wire in single string of
connected bedsprings with the "winding" of each connected spring formed
with opposite "spin" to the adjacent spring. If I could draw the flight
with ascii, I would. I assume that only narcoleptics like me can
visualize this model as it actually happens in reality.

Your "vision of a photon is different" for sure. My vision of the particle and
wave nature of light can be reduced to 5 easy to understand words:

This shows how and why a photon takes the shape it does. The particles and
atoms spin in a Smart Model Helix Spiral Spinning Field. Energy is emitted and
absorbed by photons. Photons don't have mass, but momentum. High energy photons
can transfer it's helix spiral spinning field energy to electrons and protons
which cause the creation of new particles during there collision. The photon
collisions are inelastic and when the new Helix Spiral Spinning Field
sub-particles are created, they are the basic same shape and form, except the
core of the neutral particles become highly pressurized into a constant
resonance frequency, which maintains the constant mass of particles like
electrons etc... .
In NMR the same resonance frequency is found for atoms and causes them to
absorb the EM energy which causes the proton to line up a certain way showing
the spectra for identification of the certain compounds. So the molecular
formulas can be determined for organic materials using NMR.
The Smart Model is the only correct atomic model on earth today. It
explains basically everything logically for the basic structure of this
universe.
