Talk:Geon (physics)

message: I have printed out Wheeler's original article, and will read it and do some work on this.  I am thinking we might move the good ideas from Black hole electron here and redirect.  -- SCZenz 22:41, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Excellent!  But make sure to study the book by Griffiths, Colliding Plane Waves.  It might not be clear from a glance why this is relevant, but search the arXiv for ultraboosts, plane waves and quantum gravity.  The Aichelburg-Sexl ultraboost and CPW basics is essential for reading arXiv papers dealing with attempts to model ultrarelativistic collisions of particles.  Note that this is directly related to papers by t'Hooft and Gibbons which you may already know.---CH  (talk) 08:28, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll do my best, but looking at that many articles outside my subfield will take me some time.  It looks like you can do a much better job with it than me, if you have time.  If not, I'll get to it in the end. -- SCZenz 09:18, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

message: A geon is a quantum-mechanical entity if it consists of a single photon, gravitationally confined in a closed loop (ring) configuration. It would have one unit of angular momentum and two quantized energy concentrations with opposite electric fields. Each energy concentration would have 1/2 unit of angular momentum.

replies: text: CH: Linear photon momentum is photon energy divided by light velocity. Linear momentum is h/wavelength. Angular momentum in a one wavelength loop (ring) is h/wavelength multiplied by the radius (wavelength/2 pi). The photon angular momentum is h/2 pi. One wavelength of electromagnetic radiation consists of two energy pulses just as rf antenna excitation current consists of two energy pulses per cycle. Each pulse carrys 1/2 of the energy in one wavelength or in this case 1/2 of the energy in one photon so each energy concentration will have angular momentum equal to 1/2 of the photon angular momentum or h/4 pi.

text: Alexander Burinskii prepared the paper "Microgeon with spin, Sov.Phys JETP, 39, 1974, p.193." He considered the Kerr ring as a gravitational wave-guide for stationary photon propagation along the Kerr ring orbit. I have not read this yet but it should be of interest.

thread_title: Geons & particles?

message: I created the original version of this article and thought I was monitoring it for bad edits, but apparently not, given the comment by Don Stevens about work by Burinskii which I believe is flawed.
In any case, I am leaving the WP and am now abandoning this article to its fate.  Just wanted to provide notice that I am only responsible (in part) for the last version I edited;  see User:Hillman/Archive.  I emphatically do not vouch for anything you might see in more recent versions.  I hope for the best, but have some reason to think that at least some future versions may present slanted information, misinformation, or disinformation.
Good luck in your search for information, regardless!---CH 23:57, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Students beware

message: Hi CH; I want to seriously ask you not to leave the WP. Your input is much needed and will be very difficult to replace. Regarding the Burinskii work; it may be flawed; reviews by others like yourself will expose errors that may exist. I believe Burinskii would appreciate communication from you describing any apparant flaws.
If he can show that time dilation factors outside of a K-N bh and within a K-N bh are equal, his basic concept will be more difficult to find flawed.
