Actually, that is not quite true as stated. I should have said, "I have
not read of that phenomenon occurring with photons. Electrons? Yes.
Photons? No.

How is it that you guys are comparing the photon, a sub-atomic particle
without mass, to electromagnetic radiation/waves? I don't see a basis
for comparison.....

If there are, indeed, as many photons being emitted by the thin edge of

demonstrated here?

Try the combination of all amplitudes and phases at a distance (pretty
usual stuff already covered).

Or. why are the photons "drawn" to the thin edge with such magnitude of
force?

What force? Give us a number, Tom did.

If this ribbon was white hot (even infrared) a meter would indicate more
energy from the greatest surface area. Occams' razor is wrong, again?

I have never read of the phenomenon you seem to be suggesting here ...

Consult Planck where it (predating the term photon) is summed up in
two variables and one constant.

Hi Ed,

Mass as a basis of comparison implied:
How much do your electromagnetic radiation/waves weigh?
How thick is sunlight on your arm while driving?

If they don't compare, then these questions should reveal differences
when light is substituted for waves (and versa-visa).

For you Richard, just remember to stand the broadside of a stove on cold
winter days--wouldn't want 'ya to catch yer death of cold! :-)

That has nothing to do with Photons.

Your post has nothing to do with my wifes' earlier email!

Well, other than they are both text, both sent over the internet, both
are smtp protocols, both are typed, both required the use of a computer,
both were/are in english--well, 'ya know what I mean ... :-)

Even there you remain in error. NNTP. (nothing notably transmitting
photons) protocol.

Yes, you are in error, NNTP is only a superset of smtp ... :-(
