: A photon cannot have a frame of refernce since light : must always travel at c with respect to every FoR. : But if it were possible for light to have a FoR then : spacetime would shrink to zero in it's line of motion. : A photon has both energy (E = hv) and momentum but no mass even : if you give credence to relativistic mass. A photon is : prohibited from ever being at rest because it can only : exist at c. EM Attraction is caused by the wavelike : nature of virtual photons - the momentum vector can point in any direction since the vp fills all of space :::: Thank you.

I get a bit boggled when we get to the Quantum Theory level and I try to understand wave collapse theory and what Einstein referred to as a "Spooky force from a distance".

Here's a theory that I personally find quite elegant but I've gotten mixed reviews from folks I've shown it to before.

Tell me what you think. See:

At least it is one I can understand since it does not require me to surrender my understanding of TGR/TSR in order to accept Quantum Theory.

Thanks.
