A question that has troubled me for sometime and seems to trouble others as well is the question of how light can be invariant yet has to apparently accelerate from zero to 'c'.
So we have two opposing positions:
1] that light is invariant and can not accelerate,
2] that light is not invariant because it has to accelerate to 'c'.
I believe there is a solution to this conundrum and it lies in defining the concept of what is zero velocity. I would contend that relative zero velocity is a universsal 'c'
I would like to veneture that a photon does not need to accelerate to 'c' simply because it is always at the same velocity as the mass that emmitts it which is already 'c'
The following 2 animations shows my idea in principle:
This diagram shows our masses alternating energy which must pass through a zero energy state to go on to the other pole. In doing so it releases an alternating charged photon at the same velocity as it self. The frequency of light being the distance that the mass has to travel within itself to release a photon wave.
This is further supported by the following anmation incorporating AE's Light cones.
In all what this means is that I am hypothesising that a photon is always at 'c' and never has to acceleerate as the mass that is emitting it is also always at 'c' [within itself]
Any thoughts or input would be greatly appreciated.....
