EM / Photons Traveling in Liquids

Introduction

In this chapter we will discuss the ways in which Electromagnetic Energy travels through liquids.

As we discuss the traveling of the photon system through a liquid, you will begin to see some important concepts more clearly. The first of these is the difference between internal speed of the photon versus rate of the photon to travel through the liquid. The distinction is important.

In brief: the photon itself never slows down. The photon always travels at the same speed. However, due to the obstacles (the molecules of the liquid) the photon system takes longer to travel through the substance than in empty space.

You will also begin to understand the ways in which the photons can interact with the molecules of the liquid, and be altered by this interaction. This can lead to variations such as: full absorption; partial absorption; deflection at various angles; and passing through unchanged.

Review of the Photon System

Before we begin, let us briefly review the physical structure of the Photon System. We begin with the Photon Core. This core is a solid sphere, which contains an enormous amount of energy. Attached to this core are two sets of energy strings: Electric and Magnetic.

The Photon Core is like a high speed train; the Energy Strings are like the Passengers on that train. Thus, the Photon Core travels at a very high speed, from one location to another. The Energy Strings will come along for the ride - until circumstances encourage the strings (some or all) to get off the core.

This is the Photon System.

Liquid Behavior: Analogy of Christmas Shoppers

To understand the way the photon system travels through the liquid, we can use the analogy of Christmas Shoppers.

At a typical shopping mall during the Christmas season, there are numerous people. It is crowded. Each person is going his own way. Sometimes with the others, sometimes crossing to get somewhere else. Yet but because there are so many people, the individuals move very closely together. Indeed, the shoppers bump into each other, as they try to cross paths.

This is exactly how water behaves. Water molecules are individual entities, going their own ways. However, they are close enough together to be generally packed. Therefore, just like our Christmas shoppers, the water molecules have individual movement, yet are close together. This means that water molecules generally flow together, in group movements, as well as bumping into each other as different molecules attempt to go in different directions.

All of this bustling, tumbling, bumping into each other is what liquid molecules do. You know from experience that it takes a long time to travel through a crowded mall. The same can be true of any object - including a photon system - to travel through a liquid.

Photons Through Liquid:

Analogy of Child Among Christmas Shoppers

Now that we understand the behavior of the liquid, let us look at the photon as it travels through the liquid. Again we will return to the analogy of the Christmas Shoppers, with a small child to represent our photon.

A small child can run very, very fast. You know this. Allow a child to roam in an empty meadow, and she will run very fast from one end to the other.

However, place that same child in the crowded mall at Christmas time, and even she will have a difficult time getting through. She will push ahead, but often be blocked.

On the other hand, she has an advantage. Being small, she can find the holes between the adults. Slimmer and shorter spaces that most people can’t squeeze through…she can easily slip into and race ahead. (Until, of course, she runs into another wall of adults).

Therefore, while she is usually fast, and is small enough to move through the smaller areas between people…she is hindered in her traveling. It therefore takes her longer to get where she is going, than on that empty meadow.

The same is true for our photon in the liquid. The photon is normally very fast, but here the photon is hindered by all the molecules in the way. The photon however is very small, and like our child, can find the empty spaces to wander through.

Therefore, the photon system has a desire to move forward, and seeks the spaces where this is possible. Yet the photon system is hindered by all the molecules moving and tumbling in the way. This means it takes a longer time for the photon to travel through the liquid, then it does in free space.

Has the speed of the photon changed? No. However the rate for the photon to travel is much slower…simply due to all the obstacles in the way.

Speeding Up Again When Leaving

The photon speeds up again when it leaves the liquid. More accurately, the photon never changed it speed. Rather, the photon is allowed to travel freely, unhindered…which is faster than it was when in the liquid.

Again we return to the analogy of the child in the crowded mall. When she is free to roam in the meadow, she can run very fast. Yet here among the crowds of people, she is blocked, and must meander her way through the spaces. The progress is slow.

Yet, she eventually passes all the other adults. Through her squirming and sliding into the small spaces between the adults, the child eventually makes her way through all of them…and emerges in the very front.

Whew!! It took a lot of work, but she is now ahead of them all. At last there is nobody in front of her. Now she can run again…at her usual fast speed.

The same situation occurs with our photon system in the liquid. In space, the photon travels extremely fast. In air, our photon also travels fast…though sometimes hitting a few air molecules now and then. As the photon hits the liquid - such as a glass of water - the photon seems to slow down dramatically. This is because the photon is hindered by all the liquid molecules.

However, the photon is very small, and can find spaces to get through. Eventually the photon passes among the many molecules in the way, reaching the other side. Finally, when the photon leaves the liquid, and back into the air, the photon is no longer hindered. The photon travels its normal fast speed. (Though with a few bumps in the air molecules along the way).

Analogy of Han Solo and the Asteroids

There is a second analogy we can use to understand photons as they travel through liquids. This is Han Solo traveling through the asteroids.

In the second Star Wars movie, “Empire Strikes Back”, there is a scene where Han Solo pilots his Millennium Falcon through the Asteroid field. This scene is almost exactly how a photon moves through a liquid.

Using this analogy we not only visualize how photons travel through a liquid, but also see what happens as photons are bumped off course, or absorbed completely.

A video clip of Han Solo in the Asteroid Field can be found here: https://youtu.be/TKsVVmOGV9I

Watch the asteroids. They are coming from all directions. They tumble and roll. This is exactly the way liquid molecules behave.

Now look at the space ships. They are much smaller, are trying to find their way. The ships fly through the empty spaces…to the other side of the asteroid field. This is exactly what photons do. When photons enter a liquid, such as water, the photons want to keep flying along…through the empty spaces between the molecules…and exit the liquid.

You will also notice how difficult it is for a space ship to pass through the asteroids without being hit by an asteroid. Indeed, you see the Millennium Falcon being hit by asteroids a few times. You also see some of the Empire’s ships crashing completely into other asteroids. It really is almost impossible for any space ship to enter the asteroid field without being bumped, hit, or destroyed completely.

The same is true for a photon entering a liquid. Any photon which enters a liquid will be hit by one or more molecules along the way. This leads to several options for the photon, all of which are seen in the video analogy:

1. This could just be a glancing blow, which will deflect the photon at an angled path. (In the same way as the Millennium Falcon being shaken by glancing blows of asteroids).

2. The photon could lose a few energy strings, when hitting the molecule at just the right angle - in the same way that a ship would lose a few parts after being hit.

3. Or, the photon could be completely absorbed, after a direct hit. In this case, the original photon would never reach the outside of the liquid. This would be similar to the crash and total destruction of the ships into the asteroid.

Therefore we can easily visualize photons being bumped and hit by liquid molecules, by remembering the Han Solo in the asteroid field. In both cases, the goal is make it through the tumbling objects safely. Yet in reality, the odds are very high for being hit multiple times on route.

For the photon, this can result in three main possibilities: 1) being deflected at an angle, 2) partial removal of energy strings after being hit (this is also known as “partial absorption”), or 3) complete absorption of the photon system.

Of course no analogy is perfect, and in this case there is one difference: photons are not piloted. The ships in the asteroid field have an advantage of being manually steered through the spaces. The photon does not. Therefore the photon will be hit many more times by molecules than any ship through an asteroid field. However, the situations are very similar, and the visuals are almost identical.

Photons Bumping into Molecules: Resulting Options

As stated above, when a photon travels through liquid, the photon will likely bump into many molecules along the way. The main options, as listed above, include: 1) Deflection, 2) Loss of Energy (and likely deflection), 3) Complete Absorption. Here we will describe the options in more detail.

Factors in Options

The options depend primarily on the electric and magnetic fields. Specifically: which direction these fields are pointing, and how long they remain in that direction (from the pulsation rate), when the photon system encounters the molecule.

In order for a photon to be partially or totally absorbed, the energy fields must match the energy fields of the object they encounter. That is, the fields must be traveling the same direction, at the same time. When this occurs, the energy fields of the EM Photon System will join with the fields of the other particle. This is what leads to partial or total absorption.

In contrast, when the fields are pointing in the opposite direction when they meet, then the fields will repel each other. This will result in deflection of the photon, without any loss of energy.

It also helps if the energy fields are pointing in the same direction for a longer time. A photon with lower energy, for example, will have a longer pulsation frequency. This means that the energy fields will point in one direction for a longer time, and more likely to be partially or totally absorbed.

Similarly, if the liquid is colder, or denser, then the motion of the molecules themselves are slower. Allowing greater time for energy strings to join from one particle to another.

The Basic Options

When a photon hits a molecule, many things are possible. This depends on what exactly the photon hits, and the position at which the hit occurs. However, we can make some broad statements.

1. Total Absorption: This occurs when the photon system enters into a particle. Each particle of the atom (electron, proton, neutron) has surface holes. The photon is much smaller than these surface holes, and can therefore enter into the particle easily. This is total absorption.

**Notice how we again see this in the Han Solo video…as they look for caverns to dive into. The photon will enter protons and electrons in a very similar way**

2. Partial Absorption and Energy Loss: This occurs when some of the energy strings of the photon are removed, but not all. This usually occurs when a proton has magnetic or electric energy strings flowing in the same direction as those of the photon. Some of the energy strings of the photon will then join their kind (magnetic or electric) of the proton.
 

Thus, some of the energy strings physically connect to the energy strings of the photon…like Legos…and pull away from the photon system. The photon system goes on its way, though with less EM energy (and a shift to lower frequency) than before.

Note that the amount of energy transfer will depend on the strength of the new energy string that is created. Using the Lego analogy again, if we stack 50 Lego’s together, then it is possible to break the stack almost anywhere. Where will it break? Which end will have more Lego blocks? Thus, there can be quite a variation in amount of energy transfer from the photon to the proton.

3. Deflection: A photon will be deflected with the energy fields are pointing in opposite directions. For example, every electron has an electrical field pointing outward. Also, many protons have magnetic fields which loop through the protons, like pearls on a necklace.

If the photon has its fields (electric or magnetic) facing the opposite direction upon approaching the proton, then the fields will be repelled, and the photon system will be deflected. The angle of deflection will depend on the angles at which the two fields touch each other. Note that in this case, there will be no energy loss for the photon. Only a change in direction.

4. Energy Loss and Deflection: This situation typically occurs when the photon brushes or glides against the fields of the proton, and these are in the same direction, but only partially brushing of the photon to the proton. This means that only the energy strings furthest from the photon core will attach to the proton, while the rest of the photon system goes on its way.
 

The “deflection” then occurs because there is a slight tug of the merged energy strings before the photon system breaks away, goes on its way again. The effect is similar to the bending of light around a star; that is, a slight change in angle, but not much. 

Multiple Particles in a Liquid Molecule

Another complicating factor is the various particles in a molecule. We have electrons and protons, each of which can absorb photons. We also have molecular electrons of the molecular bond, which are slightly different from the electrons of the individual atoms. Let us look at some of these.

1. Electrons orbiting an atom

      Photons can be easily absorbed into electrons. The photon core is small enough to fly through the holes of the surface of the electron. If the photon approaches the electron away from the field, then there will be no repulsion, and the photon will easily be absorbed.

      In contrast, if the photon approaches the electron at the location of the electron’s electrical field, and when electrical fields of each are pointing opposite direction, then the two fields will repel. This will cause deflection of the photon. The angle of deflection will depend on the angle when the two fields meet.

       Electrons also have magnetic energy. This magnetic energy can extend from the electron to the space beyond. If the photon approaches this magnetic field in opposite directions, then again the photon will repel, and be deflected.

       However, if the photon manages to glance by the electron, at either the electric or magnetic fields, and the fields of both particles are in the same direction…then this will result in partial energy transfer, and likely a slight deflection of the photon.

2. Protons in an atom

       A photon can enter a proton more easily than in an electron, as the entrance holes of the protons and neutrons are much bigger than the electron. Furthermore, the electric field of the proton flows inward, not outward. This means that the photon will never be electrically repelled.

       There are several options here. If the photon reaches the proton away from the proton’s electrical field, then the photon will simply dive into the hole. This is complete absorption.

The photon can also be partially absorbed. This will happen when the magnetic fields of the photon and of the proton are pointing in the same direction. Some of the magnetic energy of the photon will leave the photon for that of the proton, and the photon will go on its way, with slightly less EM energy (and lower frequency).

3. Electrons of the Molecular Bond

The electrons of the Molecular Bond deserve special attention. They have the characteristics of regular electrons…plus more. Photons of many frequency can be deflected, and partially absorbed. However, to be fully absorbed requires that the photon’s pulsation frequency match the molecular orbital frequency.

The frequencies must be identical. And, the photon must arrive at just the right time, for the fields of all three to match, in order to be fully absorbed.

Full Absorption of Photon System in a Molecular Bond

In other publications I have discussed my model for the molecular orbits. Let us review that model briefly. In this model, the molecular orbit is like a race track, oval in shape, with two cars driving.

The molecular orbit therefore consists of an oval track, along which two electrons travel. From the side, we see two parallel tracks, with each electron seeming to travel in opposite directions. When the electrons approach each other, on their parallel tracks, this is when the molecular bond contracts. When the electrons move away from each other, on their parallel tracks, this is when the molecular bond expands. This process, therefore, is the physical cause of contraction and expansion, repeatedly.

In other words, this process is the “vibration” of the molecular bond. The rate of this repeated action is the “frequency” of the molecular bond.

Therefore, in order for a photon to fully be absorbed by the “molecular bond”, and not just individual electrons, the frequency of the photon must be identical to the frequency of this race track expansion-contraction vibration.

The photon must also arrive at just the right moment…where the fields of both electrons, and of the photon, align perfectly. The energies of the EM system will then be split up…some of the energies in one electron, and some of the energies in the other electron.

*The two electrons may in fact be energetically linked… with magnetic energy strings and electric energy strings connecting the two electrons*.

The photon core may be absorbed in one of the electrons. However, I think it more likely that the photon core is held between the two electrons, as they race around the track.

I am still working out the details. However some things are clear. In order to be fully absorbed in a molecular bond:

a. The Frequency of the Photon System must be the Same Frequency as the electrons going around the race track loop.

b. Both electrons must absorb some of the energies of the photon - of that one photon system, at the same time.

c. The Photon System must arrive at the exact time, with the moment of pulsation, such that this total absorption of energies in both electrons is possible.

Summary of Electromagnetic Energy Traveling Through Liquids

In this chapter we looked at how Electromagnetic Energy travel through liquids, such as water.

Liquid molecules are constantly in motion. They move individually and in groups. They tumble, roll, and migrate. The photon system is a photon core, with energy strings as passengers.

This photon system normally travels at fast speeds. However, due to the all the liquid molecules in the way, the photon is blocked and bumped into. Therefore it takes longer for the photon system to travel through the water than normal.

Notice it is not that the photon has slowed down. Rather, the photon just takes longer to get past all the obstacles. Indeed, when the photon exits the water, we see the photon return to its normal fast speed, as there are fewer obstacles in the way.

The photon is very small compared to the molecules, which allows the photon to travel between the spaces between the molecules. However, the molecules are constantly tumbling and in motion. This means that any photon entering water will likely be hit by molecules, and often multiple times.

There are several options which can occur. The most common include: 1) total absorption, 2) partial absorption of energies and slight deflection, 3) deflection without any loss of energy.

Which option will occur must depend on a variety of factors. The most important of these are a) the alignments of the energy fields, and b) the angle at which these fields touch.

Other factors include: c) the specific frequency of the EM pulsation, d) the internal energy of the atomic particle, and e) frequency matching.

These are the main options, and how they occur. Note that this is just an overview. There are additional factors to consider, and details to be discussed. These will be examined in future chapters and books.
