As usual you don't know your subject. That result was an ANOMOLOU=

--- far off the curve. The place the curve was headed for -- and =
came
VERY close to was the one I had determined theoretically: 7.3720=
385 x
10^-48 gr.
Which coincidentally has the same value of h / c^2.
They (Nieto & Goldhaber) made an error. They thought they were lo=
oking
for the "mass of the photon" -- which has a great spread in energ=
y and
mass. What they were really determining was the mass of the singl=
e e.m.
field. i.e., the coulomb field. See their article in the SCIENTIF=
IC
AMERICAN, May, 1976, entitled "The Mass of the Photon".
He thinks that the upper limit on photon mass is the smallest m=

detected, whereas any sane person would say it means that a pho=

could not have a mass greater than it's upper limit
VERGON
If a photon (actually e.m. field) could not have a mass greater t=
han
its upper limit, then
it must be below the upper limit --- and that's what the progress=
ion of
determined masses were. They kept getting smaller and smaller as =
the
technique was refined.
This being the case, he then uses the equation m =3D h.f / c^2 =
and thinks
thats this is the mass of the photon.
VERGON
Some guy named Einstein said the same thing in his second 1905 paper =
--
but then a blind dogmatist wouldn't know that.
Well, I know facts don't mean anything to you --- but.
E =3D mc^2 =3D (hf/c^2) c^2 =3D hf =3D energy of the photon.
Also, h/c^2 is the mass of one HZ (or 1f). And that times the f o=
f the
photon
is the mass of the photon. But it doesn't stop there. That mass t=
imes
the frequency
of the electron, proton and neutron will give you the respective =
mass
of each.
Now in all your brilliance do you suppose that is a coincidense? =
Or do
you recognize
That this shows radiation and matter are composed of the same ent=
ity?
It also shows that radiation consists of matter and antimatter --
witness pair production.
I can't explain it any simpler to a moron.
He believes that the minimum frequency which a photon can have =
is 1 Hz,
which makes h.f / c^2 greater than the upper limit on photon ma=
ss, and
thereby proves that the photon has a mass of h.f / c^2.
VERGON
Like I have explained before, but you are too dense to grasp --- a
photon consists of multiple HZ (1 HZ =3D 1f). If the upper limit=
is for
one HZ (as it is) then obviously (to an intelligent person) a mas=
s of
multiple HZ will be above the limit. I know that will strain your=
brain
cells but give it a try.
Any sane person would realize that for an infinte number of val=
ues for
f, h.f / c^2 is greater than the upper limit on photon mass, an=
d since
the upper limit is the largest value which could be associated =
with the
photon mass, then h.f / c^2 cannot possibly give the mass of the
photon.
VERGON
Explained above.
This is even crazier than his insistance that Planck's constant=
is
massive.
VERGON
Either you went to a U that didn't teach dimensional analysis or =
you
played hooky (physically or mentally) when they did.
I'm not here to teach you basic physics so I suggest you bone up =
on it
yourself -- before shooting your mouth off and making a fool of
yourself.
In the meanwhile note that the unit of h is "action" which is the
Joule-second.
Look up the dimensions of the Joule and you will find M (that's M=
for
mass).
p.s.
Before you call your superiors insane, go check in with a psychia=
trist,
Schmuck.
Also before you take on your superiors find out what the hell you=
're
talking abut.
Since you are so superior, then answer these questions.
What is the mass of a photon with a wavelength of 550 nm, according=
to
your theory?
VERGON
1.215545\-23 gram
You can't even do simple arithmetic.
VERGON
I had a long bad day --- and explained that when I posted the
correction.
According to your theory, Planck's constant has mass, so what is the
mass of Planck's constant, according to your theory?
VERGON
Since h is the lowest unit of energy (erg-second), h/c^2 =3D
7.3720385\-48 gr.
h / c^2 does not have units of kg.
VERGON
I use the cgs system --- wher h/c^2 has units of grams.
h / c^2 does not have units of grams in the cgs system
h has units of g cm^2 s^-1
c has units of cm s^-1
h / c^2 has units of g s
In the meantime for your education (which will never happen), here's
the encyclopedia:
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The joule (symbol: J) is the SI unit of energy, which is defined as the
potential to do work. The joule has base units of kg=B7m=B2/s=B2
VERGON
Oh, gee! Did I see Kg there? Oh my.
Big deal, it doesn't mean h is massive. Do you think h is a particle or
something?
And while we're at it, all should notice that I make many telling
points in this post THAT YOU IGNORE AND DON'T ANSWER because they are
red hot pokers up your but and
PROVE YOU ARE WRONG, and don't know your butt from a hole in the ground
ENCYC CONT'D
=3D N=B7m. The base unit conversion can be remembered using the equation E
=3D mc2, where E is in joules, m is in kilograms, and c is the speed of
light in meters per second.
Keeping in mind that the upper limit on photon mass is about 1 *
10^-54, would do you conclude from the above answeering the above
questions?
VERGON
No wonder you are so screwed up. Informing you is like informing a ho=
le
in the wall.
That's because I don't accept *****.
VERGON
No, you hand it out.
I informd you that that figure was anomolous -- WAY off the curve. On=
ly
an idiot would quote that figure. The curve progressed over the years,
and refined procedures, to a quantity that was EXTREMELY close to min=
e=2E
(7.37\-48 gr.) So it is the upper limit of 1HZ.
Multiple HZ is the mass of the PHOTON and above the upper limit of the
single HZ --- which is one e.m. field.
OK, the value listed at the Particle Data Group is 1 * 10^-52, is that
better?
NO. I suggest you read Nieto & Goldhaber's detailed account of their
experiments in the Scientific American (reference above).
I suggest you see the Particle Data Group listings which have been
provided to you and Porat many times.
And in none of the experiments, were they measuring the mass of a
photon with a frequency of 1 HZ.
VERGON
I told you, dummy, they were measuring a single coulomb field -- that's
one HZ.
What the hell do you mean by a single Coulomb field, and why the hell
would it have a frequency of 1 Hz?
It was the measurement of a galactic field that you are quoting.
And?
If you think they were, then provide a reference which says so.
VERGON
I did, above.
You have already been told many times that you misunderstood what that
paper was saying.
So given that the mass of the photon with a wavelength of 550 nm was
greater than the limit on photon mass, you conclude that the
experiments to determine the upper limit on photon mass, could only
have been determining the upper limit of a photon with a frequency of 1
HZ.
LOL, you truly are insane.
I wouldn't call you insane --- or a nut. But you are wholly inadequa=
te.
INCIDENTALLY, I see there is no use proceeding further here. But I will
say this -- with all the nonsense (mostly from you) that has transpired
here, I have had a clarfication of my own theory that I will start a
new thread with. Any bull ***** from you will be ignored. If you want to
talk tech - and answer my points, ok.
