(18) Departure and arrival of photons
Note these points:
- I guess that a photon represents, at most, one complete sine wave cycle – maybe less.
- A propagating photon acts as if it follows the same path that would be laid out by a continuous sine wave, metaphorically, "shunting on" one successive full cycle at a time until it reaches its "target".
- If a continuous laser light sine wave occupies – say – 80 full cycles between the source and the "target", then a single photon of the same frequency will also appear to have traced out 80 complete cycles as it "travels" from source to its "target".
- If the target is moving towards the source then it will still occupy the same number of complete cycles; but, to achieve this, the arrival frequency must increase to compensate. This goes back to the idea that light leaves and enters matter at the SoL – it must entangle to transmit its energy package (its improbability state). No energy transfer will occur unless it can do this.
- When the target is moving away from the source, the frequency may drop. Then there comes a point at which it has insufficient energy to interact and raise an atomic orbital; it will still complete 80 cycles along its path but fail to entangle so that it cannot induce a distant matter change. There will be no evidence of any interaction – perhaps this also implies that it never "had permission" to leave the source.
- On the other hand, if the "sine wave" is squeezed sufficiently and the frequency rises then it could, ultimately, approach an energy level approaching that "stored" in the whole of the universe (NOT including the antiverse as well). This becomes exponentially harder to achieve and it would probably result in the conversion of photons into increasing quantities of matter (compressed dancing photons).
- I suspect that a photon stored in an atomic orbital represents one full cycle and this is reflected as it excapes back to become light once again (a single sine wave "blip"). Thus, a photon may be one released sine wave cycle.
- Note that, as the intermediate separating distance from source to "target" changes, then, as the distance increases (towards 14.7 bn light yrs), so the compression of the source-to-target by a moving target is possibly "diluted". (I am unsure about this at the moment – it's not thought through fully enough.)
- But – you may say – why have I assumed that the number of oscillations between source and target stay the same? It's intuition at the moment; however, entanglement might fix the situation. Once an interaction is "established" this might be part of the waveform collapse. Hmmm ??!!
