We have seen that negative charges confine everything (स्त्रियः सतीस्ताँ उ मे पुंस आहुः – ऋग्वेदः 1-164-16). Any particle can only be explained as a combination of two complimentary statements, which give partial information individually (अनवर्णे इमे भूमिः – तैत्तिरीय आरण्यकम्). What we “see” is the radiation reflected out of it. We cannot “see” light. We see objects that reflect or release light (उपयामः गृहितोऽसि). When we touch an object, we do not touch the reflected radiation that we see, but we touch the object that is emitting or reflecting the light. The object proper is a fermion (सत्यम्) and is different from the radiation through which it becomes perceptible, which involves bosons (ऋतम्). For this reason, everything can be said to be in a sea of electromagnetic field (ऋतमेव परमेष्ठि ऋतं नात्येति किञ्चन । ऋते समुद्र आहितः ऋते भूमिरियं श्रिता – तैत्तिरीयब्राह्मणम् – 1-5-5-1).
Coming to what an electron is, it is a localized four-fold structure discussed above that exists as a sea and confines any radiation emitted by the nucleus. Where the radiation hits the sea, it generates a tip. That tip is called electron. Since it is not possible to know when the nucleus with release a flare (like solar flare), we cannot pinpoint the position of any electron. The flare can vary in intensity based on the internal structure of the nucleus. For a hydrogen atom, it could release the flare in one direction at a time. But when there is a neutron, which constantly interacts with the proton in a n-p chain, they behave like pulsars – releasing flare in two opposite directions. With more protons and neutrons, the energy of such dual flares vary that create electron orbits. Since we are inside that “sea”, which is negatively charged, it is said that “रयिर्वा एतत्सर्वं यन्मूर्त्तं चाऽमूर्त्तं च । तस्मान् मूर्त्तिरेव रयिः । प्रश्न – 1-5”.
ON ELECTRONS & PHOTONS.
Can a particle with the above properties be a wave which has contradictory properties? No. Then what is a photon? Why is it called both a particle and a wave?
In any electromagnetic field, it is known that there is an electric field and a magnetic field, which are mutually perpendicular. These field are like planes. It is known that two planes intersect in a straight line. When these planes move in a direction perpendicular to both as in the electromagnetic wave propagation, it means the straight lines moves ahead in the direction of one of its ends. This creates a tip, which is nothing but energy moving on a straight line. This tip is called a particle named photon. The fields propagate as waves. Hence photon is not both a particle and a wave, but the tip of the intersecting line of electric and magnetic fields. Since this line can move either way, photon is said to be its anti-particle. Since it is pure energy, it is massless. Since it is never at rest (only moving electric fields generate magnetic fields and vice versa), it has no rest mass.
