How Light Moves with Extremely High Velocity Toward Every Direction at All Time
On the Theoretical Physics Group’s forum (10/04/17) Andre Brink posted this question:
“Say we have a sphere in a vacuum with a radius of one light year. The inside of the sphere is also a vacuum. There is a flash of light at the center of the sphere bright enough to reach the surface one light year away.
My question is why can you see the light from any position on the sphere? Does this not imply that infinite photons are released when the flash happens (I realize that this is impossible) and therefore it is visible from all positions on the sphere? Every physics book I have ever read through show photons moving in a definite direction. How is this possible?”
The same question has challenged scientists for a very long time.
Take a small scale example by observing and analyzing this normal, ordinary phenomenon:
Lighting a torch in a pitch dark night, immediately you can see it from any position on the sphere surrounding it with one mile radius. Generously estimating that the torch light’s size equals a sphere with 12 inches radius, how can 4.1905 cubic feet of photons fully cover the surface of 350,471,314.2857 square feet of one mile radius sphere, instantly?
The volume of photons born from an exploded star – no matter how big it is – would never be enough to fully cover the surface of a sphere surrounding it with millions of light year radius to reach our eyes or any observatory. Or as Patrick Luppens said: “Our modern orbiting telescopes collect individual photons over long periods of time coming from sources some billions of light distant.” How many photons are needed to cover the surface area of a sphere with radius billions light year long?
I agree with Andre: It is impossible. The entire phenomenon is physically and mathematically impossible. But it exists, so only the explanation is beyond our reach.
This is the most challenging research I ever conducted but the result is very rewarding and full of surprises, and it totally changes my conception of the structure of Universe.

6 年I would like to throw an idea: Photon Evolution originates from the Electromagnetic Spectrum. Therefore, are governed by laws in Electromagnetic state. In my research I concluded: Electro-existence curves Time into loops within itself, I identified as Loop-Time (in brief, also creates the Energy design structure). This Loop-Time Design may hold Energy secrets to eternal existence >electro-mechanics don't wear out nor get old > same for photon waves. This is where the past-present & future co-exist together as now - hibernated by Energy laws in electro-state. This would allows Photon waves to preserve and regenerate through? reproduction of light waves, which are enhanced their Travel Speed applied Time...I hope i said that right..its 12 am..let me know I have more explanation,

6 年Great post Prof. Dieu Le. It seems the behaviour of Photon waves multiply as they spread onto open space...and act as a tiny Ripples in water that eventually becomes a Title-wave...Your introduction makes sense that needs explanation.
