A Theory Of Light Without Particles.

[Tolver]

The current understanding of the photon is as packet of energy at a measurable size composed of both electrical and magnetic fields that reinforce each other as they propagate through space by the mechanisms of electrical fields will generate sympathetic magnetic fields and conversely that magnetic fields will generate sympathetic electrical fields.

I theorize that the propagation of a photon through three-dimensional space is expressed in a helical fashion as the electric and magnetic fields balance each other. This is a practical supposition based on scaling from the photon scale to the galactic scale where we see luminous filaments in space that follow a helical fashion to maintain balance over great distances. Rotation during transit promotes trajectory stability regardless of scale.

I theorize that as photons move away from the source of illumination the slightly tangential trajectories of individual photons will result in formation of gaps between the photons causing stress on the combined electrical and magnetic fields forcing them to split into separate fields to fill the space in the gaps and instantly use a percentage of luminosity to generate their respective sympathetic fields and become stable photons again until more gaps develop and they are forced to split again. This would account for individual photon luminosity reduction in relation to distance traveled as well as even photon coverage per volume of space regardless of distance from the source of illumination.

I theorize that in tests where a single photon is created and then measured that either the solitary photon has no stress from other photons surrounding it and will therefore not have the incentive for it to split into multiple packets of photons, or that if multiple photons are created from an initial singular photon emission that their individual trajectories do no diverge enough to be easily measured, creating the current testing methods results. The next test is to generate a single photon as well as a known number of photons and then to measure them accurately at multiple distances from the illumination source.

There are obviously errors in my theories and I have used the wrong term in some places as I have no formal academic training and lack the math to do the needed calculations. I would request that you please review this paper with an educated scrutiny. I do not desire credit as my only wish is to advance knowledge.
