As I responded to BenTheMan a jumble of photons come smashing together and some get curled into resonating patterns. But that is a guess.
So you have to guess at a mechnism to make it work? You don't know of one?

Honcho...
...mass and matter are the same thing, and $$M$$ includes both terminologies.

Where have you been. I've guessed the exact mechanism since way back in 1986. I'm just not smart enough to make a theory out of it.BenTheMan said:So you have to guess at a mechnism to make it work? You don't know of one?
The OP is:
Is all matter photons?
-That depends on whether or not photons are pure fundamental energy AND whether or not mass is the equivalent of matter.
If so...
E=MC²
My understanding is that m is a constant. That just leaves E and M being equivalent.
No kidding ?? You need to rush to get this published. What do you think a photon is?AlphaNumeric said:E=mc^2 is not true for photons.
Pigeon hole this for me and then I'll pigeon whole all of QED for you.

Electromagnetic change (photons) is the only thing in the equation that is not a constant. It applies exactly to photons.
Says you who makes similar mistakes. You forgot the momentum contribution in all your posts too. You always do.lol... oh man...

Ben might not "know", but I can give you an "answer" to all that:Mike Honcho said:Is a photon a particle or a wave? You don't know.
Is an atom a particle or a wave? You don't know.
Is a freakin buckyball a particle or a wave? You don't know.
Ben might not "know", but I can give you an "answer" to all that:
A photon is a particle, so is an atom. A photon is a wave, so is an atom.
A buckyball is also a particle and a wave.
Also, a photon, an atom, and a molecule called a "buckyball", is a wave-particle; and all of them are also neither waves, nor particles, nor are they wave-particles, but something else - a non-wave, non-particle, non-wave-particle thingamy. Four things all at once.
Simple really. See?
