THAT ARE EMITTED DURING ONE SECOND** th e photon does not know what is a second !!! i showed that th e real "single photon' is emitted during a much sorter time probably short as the PLANCK TIME'!!! so the real energy of a single photon is about exp-73 Joules !!!!!!! AND YOU CAN GET AS WELL ITS MASS BY DIVIDING IT BY c^2 !!! see the thread 'a better new definition of the real single photon' in that case NO ONE WILL EVER DETECT THE 'REAL SINGLE PHOTON ' WITH ANY HUMAN ( DEVISED )EXPERIMENT TOOL !!! 2 th e 'radius' of the Proton will never be found since THE PROTON IS NOT A SPHERE !!! (:-) IT IS A LONGISH SHAPE just as a curious prove you cant make a sphere from 3 quarks that is basic geometry!! but many other reasons why it is not a sphere ***it is a longish shape** WITH POLES - A FRONT POLE AND A BACK POLE THAT ARE NOT IDENTICAL !!! see my abstract http://sites.google.com/site/theyporatmodel/an-abstract ATB Y.Porat ------------------------ > |
