Re: O'Barr: A photon has real mass!

A photon is a quantum object and is decribed by QED.

I thought you believed in an aether theory? If so, why
in heck would you think a photon needs to have mass?
In any kind of medium theory, gauge bosons are just
collective motions of the medium. Man, are you
inconsistent!

Gerald L. O'Barr comments:
Thanks for your response. I do not know of anyone
who really knows what a photon really is! And this
sure includes me!

I do believe in an ether. However
I do not believe that particles in the ether, even to
include the photon, are just waves in this ether.
In fact, the ether I believe in has particles that
have no forces existing between them. The only
interactions are by collisions, one on one! And
thus, there cannot be a wave in this ether as
might have been believed by Lorentz. There are
cycles going on, such as mass density like
waves. Or particle size variances. But no waves
as you are thinking.

I believe in the kinematics of Lorentz's ether,
in that there is an absolute reference, to which
lengths of rulers and rates of clocks can be related.
But the medium is only controlling these effects,
the medium itself does not form the particles.

In these collisions, the ether particles can and
do exchange mass with the particles that are in
it. And thus, particles in the ether can change
mass, they can be constantly changing their
mass, their position, their motions, their energy.
their momentum, etc, etc, etc. So exactly
where did you get confused?

Thanks again!
Gerald.
