> ---------------------------

youcant calculate how many single phjotons are delivered on my car
if i dont know what is the definition of a single photon
i cant know
how many of them did it !!
you yourself admitted above that
th e numer of photons delivered in one second
is leaas than that number in one hour

iow
the definition of a single photon is
TIME DEPENDENT
AND YOUR 'INSTANTANEOUS ' WORD
A IS MEANINGLESS WHILE WE ARE GOING TO
CALCULATE HOW MANY OF THEM
we can find the total amount of energy we got
but we dont know by how many single photon it was done
because yuou still didnt tell us how long it takes
to detect or create ** a single one ))
do you agree with me thjat
to "detect" and to "create" a single photon
is connected
it cannot be zero time!!
even if i will accept your 'zero time to creat a photon
(which is physics nonsense
it is equivalqnt to say
'i have no green idea about how long is that
instantaneous'
the car in the sun proves that it is not zero time
for creating a photon
until now
YOU DIDNT TEELLUHOW LONG IT TAKES
TOCREATE A SINGLE PHOTON
**your instantaneous claim is
UNACCEPTABLE **
because it is not a definite definition
and not real physics
because ***there is no physical process**
that is done
in zero time !!
**that should be one of the basic principles of physics!!

while it is an *unknown short time* you can say
*instantaneous' but that is exactly as to say
we dont know how much time !!!
while in our case
HOW MUCH TIME IS CRUCIAL -
THAT IS THE CORE OF OUR DISCUSSION !
(beause the real single photon is indeed created
in a very short time
(certainly not one second !!)
we know it from** experience*
by detecting photons that have an extremely shot life time of
**being detected**
and therefore
accordingly **being created as well * !!

there is some definite time duration!!
for crating a real single photon
THAT WAS NEVER BEEN DEFINED !!
(you can talk about a total amount of energy that was carried by
all of them
but you cant say how many of them did that mission

the arbitrarily human definition hf
does not show any time dependence in time duratinfor a single
natural photon

the humen defined photon using the one second
migh tbe huseful for many purposes
but not for all of them

but not for the single photon interference
with itself -- understanding

btw
you g constant story
does not tell us how many gravitons did it as well !!
so
your g examppel is not relevant here
because no one on earth even claimed that
'a single graviton is interfering with itself!!

INTERFERING WITH ITSELF
IS AMUCH MORE COMPLICATED
AND SPECIAL PHENOMENON THAN
(A single ????!!) GRAVITON MAKING GRAVITATION FORCE

in simper words ( excuse me)-
obfuscations !!

btw PD
why dont you admit in order to make your discussion
shorter that --
a real single photon as (defined by nature )was never defined or
discovered experimentally !!??
and the current definition is highly ambiguous

(and dont take it personally ---
it is not your fault nor my fault ....)

I've already told you what the definition is.

Yes, because there are more photons delivered in an hour than in a
second. Why is this hard?

No, it's not. The amount of energy delivered by light in a period of
time is time-dependent, but not the amount of energy delivered in a
photon.

Look at it this way, Porat. Suppose you had a bank account, and into
it you deposited one penny an hour. The amount of money deposited in
one month would be different than the amount of money deposited in one
year, because more pennies get delivered in a year than in a month.
But this does not mean that the amount of money in a penny is time-
dependent. The amount of money in the penny is fixed.

It's *instantaneous*. There's no time needed to soak up a whole
photon.

And that's where you're wrong. You make this assumption because
everything you know from MACROSCOPIC world is that way and so you
believe that the whole universe must be the SAME WAY. This is a bad
assumption.
A person raised in Europe will know that all mammals in Europe give
live birth to their young. But it would be a mistake to think that
because it is so in Europe that it is also so in the whole world.
Anybody in Australia would know this is not the case.

No, it does NOT.

I've already pointed out the foolishness of this.
The acceleration of gravity for falling objects is 9.8 m/s^2. This
does not mean that this acceleration only applies to objects that fall
for exactly 1 second, or that we measure the acceleration for exactly
1 second. That is not what that number means at all!

Because it would be stupid to admit that. The photons have both been

Questions about the instantaneous absorption of the energy in a
photon:
some questions may be irrelevant or inadmissable when applied to
photons, so please excuse that if I get it wrong.

I have read that photons travel through space and not through time (at
least from their reference frame, were we able to be aware of their
perspective). Whereas we, viewed from our reference frame, cannot
stop travelling through time. So it seems to fit in that photon
interactions must be instantaneous in the photon's frame of
reference. But is it obvious that the photon interactions must be
instantaneous in our frame of reference? (Note that I am not
disagreeing with you, just trying to understand why interactions are
instantaneous.)

If a spaceship were travelling past a lab at near the speed of light
it would tend to appear to us to be almost of zero length or thickness
(like a flying saucer that had got it all wrong and not was using its
aerodynamics properly). If it did not stop but instead tore through
our welcome banner on the roof of the lab, it would almost
instantaneously transfer some of its energy to the banner. Almost
instantaneously because it is not quite travelling at the speed of
light. But it could not be a long drawn-out measurement process
because of the high speed of the spaceship? Blink and it has gone.

Does a photon have to react instantaneously with matter only because
of its speed? Or is is because the photon in its own frame is not
travelling through time? For the spaceship, the people on board can
be expected to experience time passing for themselves at what probably
seems to them as their normal rate, but for a photon no time ever
elapses. It always seems odd to me that we experience a photon
travelling through time, which the photon in its own frame never
experiences. Is it comparable to us being observed, from without,
travelling through an extra dimension we did not know existed?

common PD
if you decided to end that ** important dsicussion by
*i told you'
and i will say
i told you
that willbe the endof this discussion !!
it will be ended by ego wrath and thats all
may be you use that tacics
because you realize that you was pushed to a corner??

i told you and thr readers wil agree with me
that your definition of a single photon that is based on
THE*SINGLE* PHOTON IS CREATED 'INSTANTLY'
IS NOT A PHYSICS DEFINTION!!
it is nice poetry and nothing else !!!
we agreed that the number of photns emmited
is
**TIME DEPENDED*
now to say that this time dependence of yourse is
INSTANTANEOUS
is void
becasue

NOPHYSICAL PROCESS IS OCCURING 'IIN ZERO TIME !!
do you deny that ?
just answer clearly about it !!
or else we dont have a comon base for dsicussion
2
you gave nme the 'advice' to calculatehow many singlephotons are
emmited per second by telling me that
the sun emmits x joules per seconds
again
joules per second !! on a square meter !!

now my question is
loules on a square meter
is fine enough to define waht is the smallest photon ??
MR PD
you cant take some definitions that are good enough for certain
resolutions degree
and use tghem todescribe properly
A MUCH SMALLER RESOLUTION !!
for instance:
you can take the one liter definition
in or der todescribe the
number of whole liters that are in the
ATLANTIC OCEAN !

but that is not a good enough RESOLUTION LEVEL
to describe how many whole liters
are in A SINGLE MOLECULE OF WATER !!!

iow
in order of defining properly the Atlantic ocean
you nee much LESS KNOWLEDGE ---

than is needed to describe A SINGLE MOLECULE OF WATER !!!
IN ORDER OF DESCRIBING A SINGLE MOLECULE OF WAHTER
YOU MUST NEED as well
MUCH SMALLER SCALE units
all of us sane scientists understand that
there are in nature
much smaller magnitudes of photon energy than
the magnitude of
**number of joules** per meter PER SECOND !!
in short
your definition of a single photon
based on your claim that it is done INSTANTANEOUSLY
IS GOOD ENOUGH AS TO SAY THAT
THE ATLANTIC OCEAN
IS COMPOSED OF X LITERS OF WATER
and overlooking that
it is compsed of
single molecules of water thuat are
as well composed of
two Atoms of hydrogen and one atomof oxygen!

if you dont agree on that
you *TACTICALLY AND DELIBERATELY* pushed this discussion TO A DEAD
END
may be( in the good )case you did t it just because
simply
lack of fine enough understanding of the issue !!

anyway
thank you for the interesting discussion --
untl this dead end (if you still dont agre with me )

btw
let me make short and clear enough
about my claim:

MY CLAIM IS THAT
NO ONE -UNTIL NOW - HAS HAS EVER DEFINED PROPERLY
THE REAL (NATURES) DEFINITION ABOUT
WHAT IS
THE SMALLEST **SINGLE *** PHOTON !!
(it must be dependent --- as well !!)
on * time definition of 'creation duration *
or something equivalent to it *

may be creation duration or -- detection duration
that now - seems to me the same

HI anonymous

you see how crooky phycists succeeded
to boggle your mind
it all generally starts with mathematicians
that call themselves physicists !!

there ar esome basic of physics that must be clear to anyone !!

THERE IS NO PROCESS (no natter if in physics or whatever else
that
NEEDS NO TIME!!

you see
th every term PROCESS is by definition
SOMETHING THAT NEED **TIME **

is it clear until now ?

and if you keep it in mind
you save youself a lot of ball boiling
9excuse the blant term but it must be said boldly in order of being
enshrined in memory ) !!)
even microcosm cannot evade that iron rule !!
(until proven other wise !!
he burden of prof in that case is on the ball bogglers !!...)

people use to say instantaneous''
in cases that it is indeed A VERY SHORT TIME'
AND IN CASES THAT **SOMEONE THINKS **THAT THE REAL ELAPSE OF TIME
IS NOT RELEVANT FOR *A SPECIFIC CASE*

but there are issues
as our current issue
that the real elapse of time
is a
'to be or not to be issue !!

because in some issues as our curent one
a very itny elapse of time
(especially a basic conceptual principal error)
can tern the cat into a mouse

and vice versa !!

in cases that the real elapse of time is
extremely short
the real elapse of time knowledge
is 'to be or not to be case !!

so to conclude:
if you think that in physics
there is something that cures 'instantaneously

THAN FORGET about IT AS QUICK AS POSSIBLE
and the sooner the better

it will save you a lot of your** precious** time and energy !!
btw
you can understand it in another way:

if one says
that process happened instantaneously
it means in other words that --

WHAT WAS BEFORE THAT PROCESS
IS *EXACTLY* THE SAME AS IT IS AFTER THAT 'PROCESS ' OR !!

IE
IN OTHER MORE SANE simple WORDS:

IT NEVER HAPPENED !! (:-)
(to happen means as well -time consumption ..!!)

and to our case
the real definition of a 'single photon'
was never done satisfactory to for all cases
including the
single photon interfering with itself
because
a single photon was never properly
(and FINE ENOUGH ) WAS defined
and if not defines
you cant talk about A SINGLE PHOTON' interfering with itself !!
