Standing dephased pi/2. Does not accomodate real physical quantum localization. In the 3-spaces model, the dephasing is 180 and 2 orthogonal spaces allow the electromagnetic oscillation while a 3rd orthogonal space (normal space) harbor the directed energy sustaining the motion of the oscillating half. > inasmuch as a spinning bullet has energy in the spin and > energy of forward motion, I cannot agree to the ratio 1/2. > If one travels alongside the spinning bullet then it has no energy > of forward motion (which is necessarily relative) but retains > its energy of spin. This is where we differ. In relativistic Newtonian, if you travel alongside the bullet, it can only mean that you have sufficient energy in the forward motion yourself to be able to travel alongside the moving bullet. In the underlying 3-spaces model, the energy is not relative but has physical existence. The energy of the speeding bullet does not diminish as your own increases to catch up with it. > > > The equivalent mass of a photon is m = 2E/c^2, > > Yes.
