Morton Spears' Photon

One of the condition I made for photons in order to explain gravitational red-shift, using Morton Spears' theory of gravity, was that photons had to be a special form of dielectric matter, with their dielectric property constant regardless of their energy.

To explain how this could be, I suggested that the charged quanta making up the dielectric matter of photons had to stay in fixed orbits regardless of energy. That would make all photons equally large, and hence equally dielectric.

However, in my post on photons moving through transparent media, I suggested that photons differ in size depending on their energy. Blue photons had to be larger than red ones. This was the only way to explain phenomena related to transparent media using photons rather than waves.

Clearly, photons cannot both be fixed size and variable size, so something has been wrong in my reasoning.

Luckily, the error is easy to spot.

While fixed size photons would guarantee that all photons have the same dielectric property, there are other ways that this can be achieved. The only real requirement is that the average distance between, and strength of, the positive and negative quanta making up the photon remains unchanged.

We know from an earlier post that the simplest possible model of an electron is a collection of 2 negative quanta and 1 positive quantum. The simplest possible model of a positron is a collection of 2 positive quanta and 1 negative quantum. Since a photon is an electron-positron pair, we can easily construct a variable sized photon that retains a fixed dielectric property.

The way to do this is to recognize that we have 3 negative quanta and 3 positive quanta to play around with. If 1 negative quantum and 1 positive quantum are placed at a fixed distance from each other, we have a dipole with a fixed dielectric value.

To this, we can add the remaining 2 negative and 2 positive quanta in such a way that they always cancel each other out. The simplest way to do this would be to have a pair of 1 negative and 1 positive quantum circling around each of the original quanta.

No matter how wide the orbits of the additional quanta get, the strength of the dipole remains unchanged. The dielectric property of such a photon would be independent of its size.
