Demonstration of Hyperluminal Velocities in Photonic Etherons

Open access0 citations

Abstract

This paper analyses the hypothesis of a composite nature of the photon within the MODEC (Double-Helical Model of the Photon) [1] demonstrating that its two constituent etherons (in accordance with the Subtle Particle Model, SPM) [2] are characterized by hyperluminal kinematic dynamics (v > c). This hyperluminal regime turns out to be incompatible with Special Relativity (SR) and General Relativity (GR), while it is fully consistent with the theoretical formulation of the SPM [2] and RGM (Repulsive Gravity Model) [3] models, integrated by the space-time transformations of Franco Selleri [4]. By virtue of the principle of parsimony (Occam's razor), the validity of this treatment lies in its ability to provide a deterministic, unified and significantly more intuitive description of micro and macroscopic phenomena [5].
