Elemental Carriers of EM Energy
Abstract
Photons are fundamental particles of light that act as carriers of electromagnetic energy, facilitating its transmission and interaction in various mediums. Traditionally understood as energy dipoles, photons consist of charge pairs and exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties. Recent concepts propose that photons may encompass vast temporal dimensions and share a common time barycenter in entangled states, suggesting new dimensions to their behavior and interaction. This paper explores the fundamental properties of photons, their formation, dynamics, and potential new insights into their temporal nature and entanglement.
Introduction

Photons, as elemental carriers of electromagnetic energy, traditionally embody charge polarity within light and electromagnetic fields. Recent theories propose that photons may also be characterized by their temporal properties, with a shared time barycenter influencing their entangled states.

Key Points
Fundamental Particles of Light: Photons are massless, electrically neutral particles that carry energy.
Wave-Particle Duality: Photons exhibit both wave-like and particle-like behavior.
Charge Admittance Model: Photons are energy dipoles consisting of an electron and a positron, influencing their interactions and properties.
Temporal Dimension: Photons may encompass vast temporal dimensions and exhibit entanglement via a common time barycenter.
Description
Photons as the first particles: Photons are massless and charge-neutral, representing the primary mode of energy transfer in the electromagnetic spectrum. They travel at the maximum speed of energy in any lattice field, representing the primary mode of energy transfer in the electromagnetic spectrum.
Formation and Structure of Photons: Photons arise from the pairing of charges with opposite polarity, such as electrons and positrons. The spatial orientation and relative motion of these charges determine the dipole moment and associated characteristics, leading to the creation of a distinct electromagnetic dipole.
Behavior and Dynamics of Photons: Photons interact with electromagnetic fields in various ways, influencing phenomena like polarization, refraction, and reflection. In dielectric materials, photons align with applied electric fields, leading to effects such as birefringence. In metallic substances, collective dipole oscillations affect light absorption and reflection. The frequency of the emitted energy is determined by the spin rate of the charge dipole.
Interactions with Electromagnetic Fields: Electromagnetic dipoles interact with electromagnetic fields, producing waves that manifest in various forms, such as polarization, refraction, and reflection. As energy propagates across vast distances, including gravitational fields, these interactions can alter the trajectory, frequency, and polarization of the waves. In dielectric materials like glass or plastics, electromagnetic dipoles align with applied electric fields, giving rise to phenomena like birefringence and optical anisotropy. In metallic substances, collective oscillations of dipoles contribute to the absorption, reflection, and scattering of energy, significantly affecting the material’s optical and electromagnetic properties.
Temporal Properties and Entanglement: The concept of photons encompassing vast temporal dimensions suggests that they share a common time barycenter in entangled states. This idea proposes that the temporal reference of entangled photons might influence their interaction and measurement.
State of the Art
Photons, as described by quantum mechanics, exhibit wave-particle duality and propagate as electromagnetic waves. They are massless, electrically neutral, and travel at the speed of light, with energy quantized according to Planck’s relation E=hf. Recent theories propose that photons’ temporal properties and entanglement may offer new insights into their behavior.
Beyond the Basics
The Charge Admittance concept explores properties of photons beyond the standard model, such as the impact of their shape and spin on interactions with electromagnetic fields. The ratio of permeability to permittivity (μ0/ε0) required to maintain wave resonance offers new insights into photon behavior under various conditions, such as near black holes or at the far reaches of space.
Single-Charge Photon Model
Structure and Dynamics: In this model, you’re considering a photon as a single charge that oscillates, producing a current flow that interacts with the permittivity (ε0) and permeability (μ0) lattice. This oscillation would manifest as a fluctuating electric and magnetic field around the single charge, moving in a sinusoidal or wave-like pattern along the direction of propagation.
Observation Perspective: Viewed head-on, this model could appear particle-like due to the minimal side-on field profile, especially if most of the oscillatory “wiggling” is in the longitudinal direction. From the side, you would see the oscillating electric and magnetic field vectors, giving it a more wave-like character. This could potentially explain why photons sometimes appear as point-like particles in certain quantum experiments while still exhibiting wave properties.
Double-Charge (Dipole) Photon Model
Structure and Dynamics: Here, a photon is modeled as a dipole with two charges of opposite sign (charge and anti-charge) oscillating around a shared center of mass, creating a stronger oscillating electric field. This structure naturally forms a more conventional transverse electromagnetic wave, with well-defined electric and magnetic field components orthogonal to the direction of propagation.
Field Behavior: The dipole structure implies a balanced configuration, with symmetrical field patterns. Observed from any angle, this model would exhibit a clear transverse electromagnetic field pattern, which aligns well with classical electromagnetic wave behavior. This model might fit better with the conventional transverse wave models for light, where electric and magnetic fields oscillate perpendicular to the propagation direction and to each other.
Comparing Field Patterns and Observational Consequences
Longitudinal vs. Transverse Fields: The single-charge model might inherently have more longitudinal field components due to its oscillation in the ε0μ0 lattice, whereas the double-charge model would produce primarily transverse fields. This could lead to different interactions with matter, polarization effects, or scattering patterns.
Directional Presentation: The single-charge model’s “head-on” particle-like appearance contrasts with the double-charge model, which would maintain a wave-like profile from all angles. This directional dependency in the single-charge model could contribute to the observed particle-wave duality by presenting differently depending on orientation relative to the observer.
Implications and Experimental Observability
Polarization and Field Interaction: The single-charge model might yield unique polarization characteristics due to the possibility of longitudinal wave components, potentially observable in carefully structured polarization experiments.
Scattering and Diffraction: If single-charge photons exhibit different field characteristics, this could lead to subtle differences in scattering or diffraction behavior, especially at interfaces with materials sensitive to electric field orientation.
Energy Density and Photon Behavior: In relation to your theory, the single-charge model may also allow for different energy propagation speeds based on lattice energy density variations, leading to observable differences under varying energy conditions or gravitational fields.
Proofs
The Charge Admittance (CA) hypothesis posits that electromagnetic waves emerge from charge disturbances, with each disturbance embodying a charge and an associated anti-charge, or an oscillating current flow. This framework finds validation in findings from the Constant Paper, which demonstrates that within the constraint of the constant Z02ε0, wave energy remains entirely self-contained, with no radiation loss.
In the CA hypothesis, the attractive interaction between the charge and anti-charge, governed by Z02ε0, ensures that energy does not radiate or deflect as long as the system’s impedance remains constant. This core result serves as empirical support for the CA photon hypothesis, confirming that photon-based disturbances propagate as self-contained waves through space without energy loss, provided impedance conditions remain stable.
These findings critically validate the CA framework, establishing a direct link between the intrinsic properties of electromagnetic fields and the dynamics of photon-based wave propagation. The hypothesis thus provides a new model for understanding wave behavior as a function of charge interactions and impedance stability.
Conclusion:
Photons are foundational to our understanding of electromagnetic energy propagation. By integrating new concepts such as temporal dimensions and quantum entanglement, the CA framework offers a fresh perspective on photon properties that has the potential to significantly advance both theoretical physics and practical technologies.
The single-charge and double-charge models each introduce unique aspects to the photon concept. The single-charge model, with its directional field variability, may offer insights into photon particle-like behavior in specific orientations. In contrast, the double-charge model is more consistent with traditional transverse wave properties, showing symmetrical field patterns irrespective of orientation. Experimentation, particularly around polarization responses and scattering behavior, could help discern the strengths of each model. Such empirical insights would be especially meaningful if the speed of energy propagation varies predictably with changes in energy density, as suggested in the CA framework.
