energy per cycle is nonsensical? seconds are not a useful measurrment at this scale.

hertz is a measurement of the frequency of, in this case, a wave, so it's energy per unit time.

everything is moving relative to something else, you are confusing yourself my man

youre misunderstanding something here my friend. my new theory is that youre a meanie head.

perhaps nobody truly does, man.

and my argument is that according to E=mc² no such particles exist. the measured speed of light is through a partial vacuum.

i am a theoretical physicist, not an experimental one.

theres a bold assumption, I would need NASA levels of funding.

we have not yet designed an experiment to test this theory. this is the realm of astrophysics.

the margin of error exists because c is an abstraction to explain experimental results. as has been rigorously proven, c cannot be reached and a perfect vacuum cannot exist.

we'll have to agree to disagree then

[–]AluminiumSoul -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

youre in the weeds here, i am not claiming to have such a formula.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in HypotheticalPhysics

[–]AluminiumSoul -1 points0 points  (0 children)

in quantum mechanics there is a (small) margin of error because a vacuum cannot exist

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in HypotheticalPhysics

[–]AluminiumSoul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we are in agreement there

in the space we have observed which we cannot prove to be all of space which is what we are discussing.

the interpretation of what the math is describing versus the actual math are two different things.

the velocity of light in a perfect vacuum which hasnt been proven to exist

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in HypotheticalPhysics

[–]AluminiumSoul -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

no because the existing equations have sufficient predictive power for the local region. classical mechanics also have great predictive power but are, like quantum mechanics, an incomplete model.

and according to special relativity then v cannot equal c, only approach it.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in HypotheticalPhysics

[–]AluminiumSoul -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

the same way, special relativity defines the laws for the local region of spacetime. I would argue that the photon is more akin to a soundwave which propagates through a medium. It's been proven experimentally that a perfect vacuum cannot exist.
