| The Polarized Helical Wave Photon.
|
| When a light photon travels through space it follows a helical path. It
| also spins around its own axis as it travels along.
|
| If the photon travels away from the observer and follows a clockwise
helix,
| it will spin around its own axis in a clockwise direction.
|
| The photon's spin axis points forward and towards the centre line of the
| helical wave such that its angle continuously changes as it travels along.
| This exerts a gyroscopic force on the photon which causes it to corkscrew
| through space rather than follow a straight path.
|
| If an observer were able to see the helical photon wave from the back it
| would appear as a circle to him.
|
| So what happens if a helical photon wave squeezes through a narrow slit
and
| becomes polarized?
|
| I propose that when a h. w. photon becomes polarized it begins to follow a
| substantially sinusoidal rather than a helical path. The only way it can
do
| this is for the photon to reverse its spin each time it changes direction.
|
| As the polarized photon travels away from the observer, depending on its
| spin direction, on the way up the photon follows a nearly squashed flat
| counter clockwise helix, whereas on its way down it follows a squashed
flat
| clockwise helix.
|
This seems to suggest that the intensity of a polarised photon is the same
as an non-polarised one so that light observed though a small slit is the
same intensity as the light with no slit interposed.
| That is to say, it appears to describe a slender narrow figure eight
instead
| of a circle, as it travels away from the observer. The axis of the eight
| will be in line with its polarization plane.
|
| In order for the polarized helical photon wave to remain stable and
| symmetrical, each photon must continue reversing its spin direction and
| helical rotation (what there is left of it) each half cycle.
|
| Once the slit forces the helical wave photon to reverse its spin by
flipping
| its spin axis, its resultant NEW trajectory will continue to flip its spin
| axis over each half cycle, as it travels away from the slit. This causes
| the helical photon wave to remain polarized in line with the slit that
| polarized it.
|
| It isn't easy to describe the above phenomenon in words.
| However I will be glad to elaborate on the above scenario should anyone
have
| any questions.
|
| Enjoy, Len.

Maybe updates. The spuds, beans and onions are coming up nicely. Ooh
ah.{:-)
