Here is how I view this comment. First I agree that the photon spin is not within spacetime--there is no spin at all possible within spacetime, since it is a type of number that is intermediate between 'two moments of an existent'--which each existent taking up a space. Thus, all types of spin are outside spacetime, and exist only within the 'moment' the 'now', the only place where things that exist with spin can be found.

Now, the photon, because it is a type of a physical entity with spin,is present within the 'moment' and 'now'. So, I do not like your use of the word 'entangled-time' to identify where the photon can be, for me it is better to say the photon is oriented within each 'entangled-moment', which differs fundamentally from 'spacetime'. The term 'entangled-time' implies two times

How I view the photon to serve to entangle, is that, within each moment, within each now, is a doing away of the 'before' (the past) and a coming to be of the 'after' (the future)--that is, it is within the 'now' that the past changes into the future, it is a process that is within what we can call the 'entangled-moment' outside spacetime. Thus the function of the photon is to entangle the past of an electron with its future within the moment, and this is why it appears that the photon can take two forms, because it both divides and merges the before and the after of the electron within the moment. And then of course, because there is no time within the moment, and that is where the photon is found, it has no care of time and is not under the influence of time. It does appear that this thread has evolved into very abstract thinking for me--perhaps I view things incorrect.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
