Photon

Disc-shaped 3D matter-particle (formed by universal medium from free quanta of matter in its gap and moving at a constant linear speed and spinning at an angular speed proportional to its 3D matter-content) and associated structural distortions in surrounding universal medium, together, form a ‘photon’. A photon is a corpuscle of radiation (infra red radiation, light, x-rays, etc.). A photon has a 3D matter-body, as its core and structurally distorted region in surrounding 2D energy fields (‘inertial pocket’). Movements of the 3D matter-core are accomplished by moving inertial pocket. Inertial pocket, about a photon’s 3D matter-core in any plane, has many similarities with electromagnetic waves in each plane. The core body and the surrounding inertial pocket give a photon, its dual nature. The 3D matter-core body provides its particle nature and the inertial pocket provides its wave (electromagnetic) nature. 2D energy fields surrounding the photon mould its core to continuously varying stable shape, moves it at the highest possible linear speed through the universal medium and spins it about one of its diameters at an angular speed proportional to its 3D matter-content. This is how the light attains its constant linear speed. This speed is the limit of linear motion (of real bodies) in nature because that is the highest possible linear speed at which the universal medium can transfer structural distortions in it. Speed of light or electromagnetic waves is with respect to surrounding universal medium and it depends on the nature of the universal medium in the region, where they are moving. Characteristic movements of photons are essential for their sustenance. An attempt to increase linear speed of a photon, results in an increment in its 3D matter-content (by absorbing quanta of matter from the universal medium) with corresponding increase in its spin speed (frequency) rather than a change in its linear speed. Similarly, an attempt to reduce linear speed of a photon, results in a reduction in its 3D matter-content (by absolving quanta of matter from its core body into the universal medium) with corresponding reduction in its spin speed (frequency) rather than a change in its linear speed.
