Generation of the Photon
By Thomas Lee Abshier, ND
- The photon is formed in the process of an electron dropping from a high energy orbital
to a lower energy orbital, e.g. a shell drop.
o The orbital electron loses a quantum of angular momentum to its local space, drops
to a lower allowed quantum of angular momentum. That differential remnant of energy
forms itself into a photon and travels off tangentially to conserve the kinetic energy
present at the moment of departure of the electron and photon.
o The key transaction which precipitated the generation of the photon was the divergence
of the electron from its allowable quanta of angular momentum. In other words, some
force was applied to accelerate or decelerate the orbital electron, causing it to
be in an orbital relationship with the nucleus, but not able to tunnel at each moment
to the next spot in the orbital. Thus, the orbital electron found itself unable
to hold onto its kinetic energy magnetic field. It was thus, a portion of this kinetic
energy magnetic field that was converted into the photon when the electron was thrown
out of stability.
o Normally, the orbital electron holds the angular momentum kinetic energy in close
contact with itself as it moves, and it can only do this by tunneling, otherwise
it would radiate energy continuously while under angular acceleration. The only
reason the orbital electron does not radiate, given that is under continuous angular
acceleration is that it tunnels from one point to the next in its orbital.
§ The nucleus with only one orbital electron will have only one very strict orbital
radius. Thus, the Bohr Atom with its well predicted orbitals with only angular momenta
having integer multiples of Planck’s constant, and radii dictated by the force and
distance relationship of the attraction between the two charges.
§ This simple force-distance-radius-allowed energy relationship broke down when the
forces of multiple electrons interacted together and created orbital radii that resembled
the probability statistics of Schroedinger’s Wave Equation.
§ The repulsive force of all the other orbital electrons around a particular nucleus
affects the movement of the orbital electron. Thus, any particular orbital electron
will follow a chaotic path, tunneling from one point to the next, charting an erratic
zigzag pathway. The electron positions may be distributed anywhere around the general
path allowed by the constraints of the quantum number, and force-distance relationships
of each successively added orbital electron.
§ This tunneling phenomena, and the interaction of a test particle with the orbital
electron, underlies the phenomena of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. God has
no uncertainty about His knowledge of the position of the electron at any moment.
Rather, it is man who cannot determine where a particle is at any moment because
man can only detect a particle’s position and velocity by probing it with another
particle. Thus, the Test Particle will disturb the original situation, and introduce
an element of uncertainty as to the orbital electron’s position and velocity. The
two being traded back and forth for accuracy; tight accuracy on the velocity yields
a correspondingly poor accuracy on the position, and vice versa.
o The nucleus attracts the electron into an orbital relationship, and given that
it is a rotating mass pair, the electron has the larger velocity, because the nucleus
contains a much larger mass.
§ In a multi-electron orbital system, there is likely an opposing force on the nucleus
supplied by one of the other electrons. Thus, the movement of the nucleus, while
small initially, will be further damped by the somewhat symmetric pulls of numerous
electrons pulling on it in roughly opposite directions.
§ The question about the movement of the nucleus is interesting and important only
to the extent that in some way the orbital energy of the electron is affected by
the nucleus. The electron must maintain its kinetic energy at exactly the correct
quantum multiple, lest it lose that energy when it is in an activated state.
§ This consideration is probably irrelevant because the electron is going to be pulled
in and pushed away from the nucleus based on the force of the nucleus and all other
electrons in the system.
§ The activated electron may be stimulated to release all it energy as a high energy
photon (and go to ground energy), or release a portion of its energy as a lower energy
photon (and go to a lower energy allowed orbital). This stimulus may come by the
collision from an outside force. Or, there may be some trading of energy between
orbitals within the electron cloud if the transaction produced an allowed energy
state.
Normally, a charged particle changing direction would radiate energy as a photon,
but this is not the case for an electron in an orbital. Normally the angular acceleration
of a charged particle would cause it to radiate (photons) because the energy it was
carrying as kinetic energy surrounding the particle could not be held in place with
the rotation.
