Uh, if you squeezed enough photons into a well packed snowball type of object then you would have a charged object with mass? Or something like that? But that experiment is outside of the realm of possibility and the closest that we can come to defining a real photon is that it is a small quantity of the nothing out of which everything was wrested, including space-time and matter. |

"... entropy in the context of
thermodynamics, is a measure of the amount of energy in a physical system that cannot be used to do work. In simpler terms, it is also a measure of the disorder and randomness present in a system." [WIKIPEDIA]
Why theromodynamics ONLY? Couldn't be heat the entropy result of light?
Couldn't be light the entropy result of electricity? Couldn't be electricity the entropy result of radiation?
Couldn't radiation be seen as an explosive moving into a fast state of entropy during a man-made use of it [like in a nuclear bomb] into a combination of light, heat and electromagnetism?
Energy is conserved and that's a principle right? The photoelectric effect [the way I see it] is a reverse of the entropy process (electricity-light) only POSSIBLE if it is performed under certain conditions... inside matter.
You have a vivid example of this in fision and fusion processes. We could make fision work inside the atom, but we are struggling without any results while searching for a fusion process. Isn't entropy a factor on this? You bet!
Scientists are trying to fuse an anti-atom of hydrogen. A mix of one anti-proton and one anti-electron... right? In my humble opinion it won't last for to long and the reason for that must be search in the true structure of the atom. Photons do interact with the vacuum in the look for feedback... No feedback no photon, that's simple. I can see that a few of you criticized my views right here in references to the "vibrating nature of the ether." Photons are for some of you only the results of that vibration and not the result of REAL energy moving on space.
I thought about it and I could only think that for those with that opinion light was somehow closer to sound that it is to E-M energy. It's true that sound is a vibration of a medium and that vibration does propagates IN ALL DIRECTIONS from the source with no preferred path. Sound transmits a dynamic energy to the atoms and molecules of the medium where it propagates [air, water, etc.] and the effect of those vibrations are received by tiny sensors in our auditive system... close enough!
Light is not that, and you know it. Light is quantized and its energy is coming in quantum of it [photons] but if that wasn't different enough from sound:
ONE SINGLE PHOTON MOVES IN ONE DIRECTION AND NOT IN ALL DIRECTIONS! Am I telling lies here? So, if light is a vibration [as some of you have stated here] how come that "vibration" is not propagating in every possible direction? Why only one light-sensor placed right on the path of a photon shot from a given source will click while any other will remain silent?
Those who have read about Russel's solitary wave and have some knowledge about solitons will understand why a wave [discrete or not] could move across a medium [vacuum, ether, water] as long as the feedback allows it to.
Thank you for your comments. It's always a pleasure to answer them.
Until my next...
