Can photons exist forever?


"By firing a pulse of light at a semi-transparent/semi-reflective thin medium, researchers can measure the time it must take for these photons to tunnel through the barrier to the other side. Although the step of tunneling itself may be instantaneous, the traveling particles are still limited by the speed of light. By taking high-speed images of this light pulse, we can construct a movie that appears continuous." (BigThink, Is it true that photons truly live forever?)

That image shows how part of the photon reflects from the medium. That means the photon loses part of its energy. And the last part of it tunnels through the wall. 

Photons are forever if we think about the information. That they involve cannot vanish. If a photon hits the wall, its information jumps to the wall. Photons can tunnel through the potential wall. When a photon travels through a wall, energy travels into it. That causes the effect. That photon seems to cross the speed of light. 

Photons don't turn old. If we think of photons from Einstein's relativity point of view. Time or aging stops at the speed of light. Photons are the only particles in the universe that can travel at the speed of light. So that way of thinking. Photons are infinite. 

But then we can think of photons as the particle form of light. Light can travel as particles as well as wave movement. That means infinite photons should keep their particle form forever. But the photon can turn into wave movement if we think that way. The photon is not infinite because it turns back to wave movement. 


"Through the vacuum of space, all light, regardless of wavelength or energy, travels at the same speed: the speed of light in a vacuum. When we observe light from a distant star, we are observing light that has already completed that journey from the source to the observer." (BigThink, Is it true that photons truly live forever?)

We should think of photons as information if we think that a photon is an information packet that travels in spacetime without the ability to stop. That supports photons as infinite. Because. The information that the particle involves cannot vanish.  

We can say that the photon is some kind of warped or waved string-looking wave movement. The photon requires the pothole. That is at the front of it. The photon is like a small vault that pulls energy from the front of it. This is one of the models of how the graviton makes photons travel. That pothole is in the Higgs field. Which is the base energy level in the universe.  

Then we can ask one interesting question: does the photon travel end somewhere in the future? The scenario bases the model that somewhere in the future energy level in the universe will be very low. That no pothole is deep enough. That can pull the photon forward. Turning into a photon or particle light requires resistance. Without resistance, the photon turns straight. or, it returns into the waveform. 

A photon is a particle whose speed is the same as the speed of light. There are places in the universe where photons are stopped. That place is in the star's core. Radiation can lock photons in a certain position. That means that in intensive heat. Like in fusion tests. And the star's nucleus is completely dark. 


"From outside a black hole, all the infalling matter will emit light and is always visible, while nothing from behind the event horizon can get out. But if you were the one who fell into a black hole, your energy could conceivably re-emerge as part of a hot Big Bang in a newborn Universe." (BigThink, Is it true that photons truly live forever?)


The speed of light is the top in the universe. 299,792,458 metres per second. It's a cosmic constant. But in a medium, the speed of light is lower than in a vacuum. The cosmic constant is the speed of light in a vacuum. Not the speed of light in gas or water. This thing is interesting. There is no absolute vacuum in the universe. Then the problem is, can the photon travel in an absolute vacuum if it cannot form an energy pothole to the front of it? 

The idea is that a graviton is a small pothole in front of the photon. But nobody saw that pothole. The problem is why photons have no mass. 

The problem with a photon is this: it can transport energy to the wall. But a photon has no mass. So, is there a structure that pulls mass out from photons? In this model, so-called superstrings form photons. But similar superstrings form also other particles, and other particles have mass. The question is: where the photon loses its mass? 

The remarkable thing is that even if the photon has no mass itself when it transfers its energy to an object the energy level in the object and its mass grow. Material is one form of energy. But the interesting thing is, why photon has no mass. But photons can transport information between them. 

The mass is the thing that seems to deny other particles to reach the speed of light. That means a photon is a particle that somehow hovers in the quantum field. There is no pothole around the photon. That thing makes the photon even more interesting.

New AI-based operating systems revolutionize drone technology.

"University of Missouri researchers are advancing drone autonomy using AI, focusing on navigation and environmental interaction without GPS reliance. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, AI Unleashed: Revolutionizing Autonomous Drone Navigation) The GPS is an effective navigation system. But the problem is, how to operate that system when somebody jams it? The GPS is a problematic system. Its signal is quite easy to cut. And otherwise, if the enemy gets the GPS systems in their hands, they can get GPS frequencies. That helps to make the jammer algorithms against those drones. The simple GPS is a very vulnerable thing.  Done swarms are effective tools when researchers want to control large areas. The drone swarm's power base is in a non-centralized calculation methodology. In that model, drones share their CPU power with other swarm members. This structure allows us to drive complicated AI-based solutions. And in drone swarms, the swarm operates as an entirety. That ca...

Hydrogen is one of the most promising aircraft fuels.

Aircraft can use hydrogen in fuel cells. Fuel cells can give electricity to the electric engines that rotate propellers. Or they can give electricity to electric jet engines. In electric jet engines. Electric arcs heat air, and the expansion of air or some propellant pushes aircraft forward. Or, the aircraft can use hydrogen in its turbines or some more exotic engines like ramjets. Aircraft companies like Airbus and some other aircraft manufacturers test hydrogen as the turbine fuel.  Hydrogen is one of the most interesting fuels for next-generation aircraft that travel faster than ever. Hydrogen fuel is the key element in the new scramjet and ramjet-driven aircraft. Futuristic hypersonic systems can reach speeds over Mach 20.  Today the safe top speed of those aircraft that use air-breathe hypersonic aircraft is about Mach 5-6.   Hydrogen is easy to get, and the way to produce hydrogen determines how ecological that fuel can be. The electrolytic systems require elec...

The neuroscientists get a new tool, the 1400 terabyte model of human brains.

"Six layers of excitatory neurons color-coded by depth. Credit: Google Research and Lichtman Lab" (SciteechDaily, Harvard and Google Neuroscience Breakthrough: Intricately Detailed 1,400 Terabyte 3D Brain Map) Harvard and Google created the first comprehensive model of human brains. The new computer model consists of 1400 terabytes of data. That thing would be the model. That consists comprehensive dataset about axons and their connections. And that model is the path to the new models or the human brain's digital twins.  The digital twin of human brains can mean the AI-based digital model. That consists of data about the blood vessels and neural connections. However, the more advanced models can simulate electric and chemical interactions in the human brain.  This project was impossible without AI. That can collect the dataset for that model. The human brain is one of the most complicated structures and interactions between neurotransmitters, axons, and the electrochemica...
