Photons act like particles. But they also exibit wave characteristics. A point source of light and you cant tell the diif. But 2 point sources (or in practice. one source filtered thru a 'double slit') will exibit an 'interferance pattern'. That is similar to what you get if you stick a wall with 2 slits in it in a wave tank of water. (or make 2 point sources of waves. (two dripping faucets would do))
The difraction pattern is the same (or similar) as if light is just a wave in some mysterious medium.
I once had a 'thought', that photons might be like moving vortexes. Like 'smoke rings'. My thinking was pretty scetchy and and incomplete.
I then tried to think of them more as 'more regular' particles. (this did not work out as well.)
Then. I tried to think what of the photons created by a colision of a particle with an anti particle. For my 'particle'. I chose the 'Buark" (as previously described in 'bigger/smaller')
A Buark. A micro 'big bang' universe with a white hole(out flow / 'big bang') at the 'past' end and a black hole(in flow / 'singularity') at the 'future' end.
A 'time flow' from the past to the future (thru 'space time') caused by the flow from the white hole to the black one around the 'outside',
and a return flow (thru the 'inside') (I think this requires a 5th (perhaps inside/outside, bigger/smaller) dimention) Thru which the flow that is sucked into the black hole is returned to the white hole.
{this flow is in fact returned to a 'new' white hole. not the 'old' one. But this is not an issue here. It is just a 5 i guess dimentional vortex that has cycled thru a 'day' (moving in yet another time like) dimention) }
So. Anyway. A Buark. White hole at the past end. (and flow 'futureward') Say. and Anti Buark, has white hole at the future end. and flow 'pastward'. Both spinning say clockwise (
Collide.
At the colision. the the white and black past 'holes' meet. as well as the future white and black 'holes' come together.
In close proximity. the flow is draw from the white hole of the Buark. To the black hole of the Anti Buark. And the White hole of the Anti Buark to the Black hole of the Buark. Because of thier close proximity. And Hence then it no longer flows back around the 'outsides', ('space/time') of the particles. But is shunted to the closer route. Which, still flows thru the insides, back thru to the other ends.
If you can imagin this. You see now it become a totally 'inside flow' the white and black holes meet. and the 'fluid dynamics' of the thing turn it into just a big circular flow. The complimentary 'spins' add together so the whole thing is not only flowing around the circle but twisting around the direction of the flow as well.
This is like a 'smoke ring' but it is 'twirling around' as well as 'rolling along'. like a smoke ring. I expect it travels along (in space instead of atmosphere. At the 'speed of light') But does not expand in diameter like a smoke ring in air.
The only contradiction I find in this whole 'picture'. against observed behavior. Is. I see only one photon comming out of the colision. But all else fits too well for me not to be 'excited' by this idea.
All the 'energy'(flow) has become inside flow. (no rest mass)
The particle proceeds thru space at a velocity altered only by its medium.
It also will be launched at right angles to the colision. just like observed behavior.
And. I strongly suspect this 'smoke ring' will produce the phenomina observed in 'double slit' and other interferance patern phenomina.
Now this is a 5 dimentional situation these particles. I can think of them only by ignoring enough space dimentions(just as we can think of a 2 dimentional picture' as representing a 3 dimentional reality) to visualise the time and 'inside/outside' dimentions as regular space dimentions. the vortex as a regular 3d vortex.
I am confident that known fluid dynamic principles bear out my analogies. in actual 3d fluid vortex intereactions.
It is also perhaps interesting to note. that if the 'spins' of the anti and particle are not both spinning in the same direction, with respect to thier time flows. while the time flows are still oriented in opposite directions. The spins will cancel at the intesections. and the inside flow ring would tend to expand (i guess 'forever') in diameter, as the ring itself becomes thinner and thinner.
I am not the first to expect that all forces and phenomina, can be explained as a result of 'flows' of 'space', with known principles of fluid dynamics.

Ok. Thinking further. I have not been keeping track of all the flow in this colision. I have mearly tracked the 'inside' flow. The hole ends join black and white. and the inside flow goes around and around in a regular fashion.
But what of the original 'outside' flow?
That these 'flow of space' inside and outside have a 'momentum like' property, is the whole of thier explaination for why they ever exist in the first place. or have any matter or energy 'content' to express.
So the outside flows also join and create the other 'photon'. And it is this outside flow. I now see that retains the original spin. The inside 'spin' is in the oppsite direction with respect to the flow.
This can be seen because at the black hole transition (in the original 'Buark') where the outside turns to the inside. it was turned 'outside in'. This reverses the 'handedness' (spin with respect to flow)(( 'right hand'/'lerft hand', 'rule')) of the spin.
So. ,, . We have Two, 'Photons'. (cheer)

Polishing this up. We have relatively stationary compound vortexes, with matched inside/outside flows. {Matter, particles} meeting its anti particle. To produce moving rolling spining 'smoke ring' like vortexes. (Energy, photons}
I guess these 'smoke rings' dont care or know, whether they are or were, 'outside' or 'inside'. They just keep rolling along. :)

Ok. Thinking further more :) . I was wondering at the Buark/Antibuark collision. These Buarks are 4 dimintional.The chronology of the univerxe within them is in the axis of the white and black hole.
But thier chronology and/or duration. The chronology of the Buark, Antibuark collision. is in a Fifth/time dimention.
This Fifth dimention might be the 4th/time dimention of the universe to which they are subatomic particles.
(I am posting this as is before spell checking and re reading just to get it 'down' imediatly. I expect to revisit it for errors later.)
