The ‘Mass‘ of a Photon
We are familiar with the equivalence of ‘energy' and ‘mass' (E=MC2). When a radioactive substance decays, losing energy, it also loses mass. When a glow in the dark toy ‘glows' (releasing those eerie colored greenish photons in the process) it loses mass. It would be ‘heavier' when fully charged and ‘lighter' once discharged.
Now if a glow in the dark toy is losing mass, or if a radioactive substance is losing mass (emitting gamma radiation, a type of high energy photon) this implies that an object can lose ‘mass' by losing photons.
There is an inconsistency in relativity theory, in that we are also supposed to believe that the equivalence between ‘energy' and ‘mass' holds for all ‘particles' with the one exception of the photon, since the photon has ‘zero rest mass'. The only reason that a photon has ‘no mass' is that this is required in order for a certain mathematical system to hold together, for if a photon had ‘mass' (if we were to interpret energy as equivalent to mass in the case of a photon) then this would have to mean, as defined by mathematics, that a photon must have ‘infinite energy' for it travels as the speed of light. This would be impossible for a mass, according to this mathematical definition, and therefore E=MC2 holds true in all cases, except for the photon, where it does not hold true. This then leads one to wonder how it could be that an object can lose ‘mass' by losing ‘photons'.
We know that a photon is ‘boson', but unlike ‘gauge bosons' the photon does not acquire a ‘mass- like' property when it interacts with the ‘Higgs Field'. For all bosons, E=MC2, except for the one exceptional boson, the photon, which cannot, or otherwise it will be the ruin of a system of mathematics, a system which does not incorporate the concept of ‘relative momentum', and therefore assumes that the ‘speed of light' is a kind of absolute constant ‘speed limit' and is therefore the ‘speed of light' for that reason alone.
Just as mass becomes meaningless and enigmatic, when we consider the photon, so, too, momentum becomes a meaningless concept when consider the photon, for it is required that we also make momentum meaningless in order to keep mathematics intact and the underlying assumptions of that mathematical system intact at the same time. A photon can have more momentum, but it means nothing, because it is a photon, and therefore travels at one fixed speed no matter its change in momentum.
Now it would appear that E=MC2 does apply to all bosons, including photons, if we assume that there is no reason to impart ‘motion' as an inherent property of photon. Photons move for the same reason that a mass of matter moves through the surrounding field. It represents a field disruption, and therefore it is pushed by the field, just as matter is pushed by the field, transferring the problem to the next location in the field, where the process is repeated. We require this energy field to explain the enigmatic concept of ‘conserved momentum', which is meaningless without the presence of this energy field to explain the underlying nuts and bolts mechanics of objects that coast through space with their engines off. Energy is being transferred here (from point A to point B) and therefore since a force is involved in all transfer energy, a force is required here (I call it the ‘g-force of motion' and this force we locate in the field energy encapsulated in the warped three dimensional space field, which we could also refer to as ‘the Higgs Field' - for it seems to me that there are to many different names being used in different branches of the sciences to describe exactly the same phenomenon, and therefore we should simplify by making these equivalent to avoid confusion).
Therefore the ‘Higgs Field' treats all bosons the same, including a photon. Energy is quantized (giving rise to the photon phenomenon, because energy represents a disruption of the entropy of the field and therefore requires the use of force to transfer energy, and the energy is therefore always transferred in single quantized packets for this reason - it cannot slowly leak into the field, because of the field impedance, and therefore it must be forced out in packets, resulting in quantization. Once again we require a universal energy field, which we perceive as ‘three dimensional space', in order to understand quantization of energy. This same field impedance that produces ‘quantization' also produces ‘mass' (according to the Higgs Mechanism) and it is this same process that also produces motion, for simply containing invading energy in the form of a packet does not solve the problem of field disruption (the magnetic component of an electromagnetic field always works to keep the field energy completely smooth, even, and in a state of ‘entropy') and therefore the solution must be to ‘push' the disruption and the effect is to transfer the disrupting element on to the next location in the field, where the process is repeated, resulting in motion.
For some reason no photon is ever pushed through space in a ‘straight line' (only masses exhibit this behavior) but rather as a photon interacts with the surrounding field it is pushed through space in a ‘wave like' manner, which means that a high frequency photon must travel through more of these undulations, and thus cover ‘more distance' than a low energy photon, which means that the momentum of a photon does have meaning, for a high energy photon (with ‘more momentum') must travel a greater distance in the same amount of time, and therefore must be moving with increased velocity (the only photon traveling at the speed of light would be a photon where the wave function displayed nears a frequency of zero, a flat line, in which case this would be the only photon traveling at ‘the speed of light' and also the only photon traveling through space in a straight line (much like a mass of matter), for it would appear that ‘the speed of light' is not equivalent to the ‘speed of a photon' but rather is a measure of the ‘speed of a wave' and curiously enough, is a measure of how much time it takes photons to cover a certain distance and arrive at the same destination point at the same time (despite their differing wave functions).
For this reason it would always prove to be impossible to transmit information ‘faster than the speed of light' by employing photons. It would be required that such high speed communications employ hyper accelerated electrons. That this is true has already been demonstrated in the form of very controversial experiments emerging from the field of quantum mechanics, where we see electrons traveling faster than the speed of light. It is apparent here that we have a problem with the theory of relativity, and the problem is related to the concept of ‘relative momentum', for relativity theory still remains in part a Newtonian theory, incorporating obsolete ideas concerning ‘absolute momentum' being expressed in some sort of ‘absolute space', and this results in the generation of mathematical fictions.
