This concept ties into my framework as continuous photons being the force carriers for motion.
Summary: Speed of Light as a Geometric Property
Inherent Spacetime Property:
The speed of light is not just a physical constant, but an intrinsic property of spacetime geometry itself.
Photon's Spacetime Curvature:
Each photon creates its own minute spacetime curvature.
This curvature represents both the photon's energy and momentum.
Constant Velocity:
Light's constant speed emerges from this geometric nature.
Photons don't accelerate because their motion is fundamentally encoded in their spacetime geometry.
Energy-Frequency Relationship:
Increased energy doesn't change a photon's speed; it increases its frequency.
This manifests as a 'tighter' or more intense curvature in the photon's spacetime geometry.
Curvature-Frequency Correlation:
A photon's frequency is directly related to its induced spacetime curvature.
Reducing the curvature of space around a photon reduces its frequency (and thus energy) and visa versa.
No Classical Acceleration:
Photons don't experience classical acceleration because their "momentum" is inherent in their spacetime geometry. If you add energy to a photon it increases its frequency, its extra motion offset by its extra curved space, maintaining the same speed.
Unified Quantum-Relativistic View:
This framework bridges quantum properties of photons (energy, frequency) with relativistic concepts (spacetime geometry).
Explanation for Massless Particle Behavior:
The framework explains why massless particles always travel at the speed of light - it's a fundamental aspect of their existence in spacetime.
This geometric interpretation of light's behavior offers a unified explanation for several fundamental aspects of photon physics. It connects concepts from quantum mechanics, special relativity, and general relativity, providing an intuitive framework for understanding one of the most fundamental constants in physics - the speed of light.
