| "As an example of strange problems we can
deal with in a four-law (1)
manner, let us examine a little more closely on of Einstein's postulates
of special relativity, which states that the speed of light is the same
for every observer. Let us restate the postulate as "every photon is
moving at the same speed relative to every particle." We can pick any
electron in the laboratory frame. Every photon in the frame is moving at
the speed of light with respect to the electron, by Einstein's
postulate. Now let us pick any photon. By Einstein's postulate, every
electron is also moving at the speed of light with respect to this
photon. "Now we can look at the situation from the
viewpoint of the photon. With respect to it, every electron in the
laboratory frame is moving at the speed of light, which violates the
common interpretation that ordinary objects cannot move at the speed of
light. In fact, three-law logic is violated but four-law logic is not
violated. In four-law logic, an object can have infinite mass and zero
mass simultaneously. The electron's frame and the photon's frame are
rotated orthogonal to each other. What we are calling a photon in the
laboratory frame, is a perfectly ordinary three-dimensional object in
its own frame, which is orthogonal to the laboratory frame. The electron
(lab-frame) thus appears as a photon in the rotated frame of what we
previously called a "lab-frame photon." Either an electron or
a photon is both three-dimensional and two-dimensional simultaneously -
in fact, the concept of separate, exclusive dimensionality only applies
after on or the other dimensional aspect has been exclusively separated
(observed).
"Mass is determined by the resistance an
object poses to an accelerating or disturbing force. Mass is also tied
to three-dimensional objects; i.e., it is an L3 concept dimensionally. A
photon, moving at the speed of light, can neither be speeded up nor
slowed down; hence in one sense it exhibits infinite mass. On the other
hand, the photon (which is a three-dimensional object in its own frame)
has lost a dimension in its intersection in the laboratory frame, due to orthogonality.
Therefore the photon appears as a two-dimensional L2
entity in the laboratory three-space. And in that sense, the photon must
have zero mass since it is only two-dimensional. By the fourth law, the
boundary opposites are identified. Thus at the orthogonal boundary of
three-space, zero mass and infinite mass become identical. And the
photon exhibits both zero mass and infinite mass simultaneously because
it is an entity that is on the boundary of the L3 "mass exhibiting" world. The photon has always happily behaved in a
four-law manner, even though physicists could not comprehend its
behavior with the three-law logic in their heads." |
