That does not mean that the mass of a photon and speed of light is 'there'. The only measured EMR property in P = h/lambda is lambda .. the wavelength. The M and L dimensions are part of the scalar constant of proportionality 'h'. One can, of course substitute lamda = c/f into there to get P = hf / c and so E = Pc (for a photon). Your argument makes no logical or physical sense and is not valid. Your lies and insults also do not aid in your credibility.

[snip display of porat's ignorance] > 2 > the fact that Photon momentum is frequency > dependent -- > means that > THERE IS **SOMETHING THERE** > TO MULTIPLY THE* MASS DIMENSION* THERE You are confused again. There is no mass dimension in frequency, nor is there one in wavelength. > BY ZERO ???!! Why would you multiply a finite value by zero and expect to get something other than zero? You seem to think that somewhere in p = h / lambda there is photon mass. All that is there is photon momentum, photon wavelength and the plank constant. No photon mass there. You can calculate its relativistic mass (M) from p = Mc, and you get a non-zero value (as expected). As others have said, relativistic mass is not generally regarded as a useful thing to calculate nowadays by many physicists. But, regardless of the relativistic mass, its invariant mass is still zero (as m = M/gamma, and when v=c you get 1/gamma = 0, so you get m = M x 0 = 0 regardless of M) [snip more displays of porat's rudeness] >> One can, of course substitute lamda = c/f into there to get P = hf / c >> and >> so E = Pc (for a photon). >> >> Your argument makes no logical or physical sense and is not valid.

What a waste.

I am not saying that "having length is equivalent to not having length". That's not the proper way to say it. Here's what I would say: [1] One can construct physics using mathematics which treats length as being either existent or nonexistent, but not both, and there is no "in-between". and, that [2] One can construct physics using existential indeterminacy, where all length is existentially indeterminate with "potential to exist x", 0<x<1, but never x=0, or x=1. Now, my claim is that [1] and [2] are equivalent because they would produce the same exact quantitative results. The only difference between unsing orthodox mathematics and conjectural modelling is the fundamental, foundational, philosophical underpinnings. A deterministic universe is equivalent to one which is completely non- deterministic. This line of reason does explain the WP duality very nicely, regardless of the fact that it will never be accepted by mainstream science, and Im not really trippin' about it. It is what it is. |
