Super Relativity - Theory
What is a Photon?
In this article I will describe the physical structure of a photon using SR Theory. If you have not read the article on "What is Space?" I recommend reading that first before reading this article. In Classical Theory the photon is considered the quantum of the electromagnetic field. Basically, Electromagnetic fields are made up of large numbers of photons. This of course means that electromagnetic interaction is mediated by the exchange of photons. SR Theory does not disagree with any of those statements.
Also the photon is one of the elementary particles and its interactions with electrons and atomic nuclei account for a great many features of matter. SR theory goes beyond the current limited knowledge of what a photon is. It physically describes what it is and why it behaves as it does.
