We’re excited to share a brand-new addition to the Extended Classical Mechanics (ECM) series!

What’s it about?

Appendix 7 explores how photons—the basic particles of light and electromagnetic radiation—are created in nature and technology. It explains how photons come from things like:

• Electrons jumping between energy levels in atoms

• Radioactive nuclear decays (alpha, beta, and gamma emissions)

• Hot stars and blackbody radiation

• High-speed particles in space and magnetic fields

• Lasers, lightning, and even X-ray machines

But in ECM, these aren't just random energy events. Instead, each photon is part of a bigger picture of mass and energy shifting, like a kind of mechanical stress and release in the fabric of nature. ECM also introduces the idea that some photons may behave as if they have negative apparent mass (−Mᵃᵖᵖ), which flips how they interact with gravity and energy systems.

Why does it matter?

This appendix builds a bridge between classical physics, quantum behaviour, and gravitational effects, all under a single framework. It’s the first ECM document to outline photon sources from electrons to galaxies in one unified model.

For researchers and enthusiasts alike, Appendix 7 offers new insight into how energy becomes light—and how even light may carry traces of mechanical stress and deeper mass-energy behaviour than previously understood.

Stay tuned—next, we’ll explore how electrons and photons interact in even more detail, and how this ties into gravitational and electromagnetic coupling in ECM!
