Do you have any thoughts or am I misrepresenting your concept? You say "Photons are formed when bits of the local field break away" but would you envisioning that a bit of the fabric of space may break away when the photon does?
John Berry My model is quite different than yours.? I have no aether.? My model is classical and at low energy,? It has no quarks, Higgs particles, or space fabric.. I do, owever, ask the same question as you.? What attaches the magnetic field to a magnet and what releases it to travel with the photon?? Superconductors have provided a clue.? The magnetic fields of superconductors tend to slip (travel).? Defects ( discontinuities ) are placed in the superconductor to prevent this slipping.? Following through with this logic discontinuities attach local fields and the quantum transition releases the grip of the discontinuity. The link to cold fusion is the observables has enabled me to describe this process. I hope something happes soon with these ideas. Frank Z
