Abstract
This study presents an extended classical mechanics interpretation of photon behaviour in gravitational fields, emphasizing the reversible nature of gravitational interactions and the preservation of intrinsic photon energy. The photon's energy dynamics are explored through its interactional energy within gravitational influences and its intrinsic energy in zero-gravity regions. The effects of cosmic expansion on photon energy via redshift are also discussed. Notably, the photon exhibits negative apparent and effective masses, producing antigravitational effects akin to dark energy, enabling constant wave speed c. A key insight includes the photon's constant effective acceleration from emission, highlighting its unique momentum and energy dynamics in gravitational contexts. This framework challenges conventional gravitational lensing interpretations, suggesting alternative pathways for unified theories of forces.
Author Comment:
This study synthesizes key conclusions derived from a series of research papers on extended classical mechanics. These papers provide a fresh perspective on established experimental results, challenging traditional interpretations and highlighting potential inaccuracies in previous theoretical frameworks. Through this reinterpretation, the study aims to refine our understanding of fundamental physical phenomena, opening avenues for further exploration and validation.
Keywords: Photon dynamics, Gravitational interaction, Negative mass, Cosmic redshift, Extended classical mechanics,
Reversibility of Gravitational Interaction:
A photon’s interaction with an external gravitational force is inherently reversible. The photon maintains its intrinsic momentum throughout the process and eventually resumes its original trajectory after disengaging from the gravitational field.
Intrinsic Energy (E) Preservation:
The photon's intrinsic energy E, derived from its emission source, remains unaltered despite gaining or losing energy (Eg) through gravitational interaction within a massive body's gravitational influence.
Contextual Gravitational Energy (Eg):
The gravitational interaction energy Eg is a localized phenomenon, significant only within the gravitational influence of a massive body. Beyond this influence, in regions of negligible gravity, the photon retains only its intrinsic energy E.
Cosmic Redshift and Energy Loss (ΔE):
In the context of cosmic expansion, the recession of galaxies causes a permanent loss of a photon's intrinsic energy ΔE due to the cosmological redshift. This energy loss is independent of local gravitational interactions and reflects the large-scale dynamics of the expanding universe.
Negative Apparent Mass and Antigravitational Effects:
The photon's negative apparent mass Mᵃᵖᵖ,ₚₕₒₜₒₙ generates a constant negative force −F, which manifests as an antigravitational effect. This behaviour parallels the characteristics attributed to dark energy in its capacity to resist gravitational attraction.
Wave Speed Consistency (c):
The constant negative force −F, arising from the photon's energy dynamics, ensures the photon’s ability to maintain a constant wave propagation speed c, irrespective of gravitational influences.
Negative Effective Mass:
The photon’s negative effective mass Mᵉᶠᶠ,ₚₕₒₜₒₙ allows it to exhibit properties akin to those of a negative particle. This feature contributes to its unique interaction dynamics within gravitational fields and reinforces its role in antigravitational phenomena.
Constant Effective Acceleration:
From the moment of its emission at an initial velocity of 0m/s, the photon experiences a constant effective acceleration, quantified as aᵉᶠᶠ,ₚₕₒₜₒₙ = 6 × 10⁸ m/s². This acceleration underpins the photon’s ability to achieve and sustain its characteristic speed of light (c), reinforcing its intrinsic energy and momentum dynamics.
