Why is this hard? > > iow > the definition of a single photon is > TIME DEPENDENT 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. > 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 )) It's *instantaneous*.

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. > > 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 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! > 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 ????!!)

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?

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 ATB Y.Porat ---------------------------

Is it comparable to us being observed, from without, > travelling through an extra dimension we did not know existed? ----------------------- 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 !!
