Photon as a “Bitemporal Loop”
The bitemporality is a inherent property of photons, this concept is an extension of the familiar concept of the photon:
It is not only a quantum of electromagnetic energy in space, but also a carrier of time in two directions – past and future.
We intruduce the concept of objects consisting of “Bitemporal Loops” in space-time.
Entanglement and Decoherence
If a measurement is done on an entangled photon, then the full entanglement is destroyd. This means, that these two quanta were never — and will never be — fully entangled. Two rotating entities with the exact same size on a common rotation axis will be and remain entangled - until one of them is forced out of its stable rotation axis. From this point on, entanglement will most likely vanish, if the disturbance was too high. The original combined state of the untouched photon might possibly remain, in which it holds/remembers the future and past of the entangled twin. If one twin is forced out of its rotation axis, the other twin has never had the entangled attribute on some properties any longer. A disturbance on one of the entangled twins, might lead to a similar disturbance in the other twin (e.g. leading it out of the shared axis). Whereas entanglement might even balance out small disturbences between the twins.
Quantum Entanglement
We will demonstrate that quantum entanglement — particularly of photons and electrons — is a crucial factor in explaining why atomic nuclei hold together, and specifically why protons and electrons attract each other within atoms. To further explain phenomena such as long-distance entanglement, we introduce the concept of bitemporal causality: quanta are entangled because they always have been and ever will be entangled (within their lifespan).
Photon Origin
At a common spacetime event, a photon of a given stable state comes into existans via a positiv and negative wave peak which circle each other. While traveling through spacetime they build a spiraling double-helix. There is a peak which travels from the past into the future (shown in blue) and the companion peak traveling from the future into the past (shown in red). More precicely a photon does not actually have any time, it is timeless itself. Therefore the illustrated temporal forward and backward peak are actually representations of a single consistent “Loop” in space-time.
Loop Structure
-
Each photon has two complementary aspects:
- a forward-running temporal component (wave crest)
- a backward-running temporal component (wave trough)
-
These two aspects orbit one another, forming a kind of dynamic balance.
-
Only in this mutual entanglement is their existence complete:
A photon is not a single peak in isolation its a peak which circles its counterpart across both past and future.
The creation and destruction process lead to a kind of reflection of the forward peak onto the backward-peak closing the loop over time.
Quantum Entangled Photons
We now have a look at the process of creating entangled photons and how that maps into the Bitemporal-Loop model. At a common spacetime event, a photon divides into two entangled photons. Photons can only be considered truly entangled if they share the same past and share the same future.
The origin is their mutual root and mutual fate, through which both time directions remain connected and consistent. Or in terms of time travel: if you should ever succeed to send a coin of gold back into the past, then only if it was there in the past before for a long time already. And only if you will effectively send it back at some point in time. Otherwise the time travel will not happen. So the correct causality must remain in both time directions - inevitably.
What is an entangled photon? An entangled photon is an entity, which is comming from the future traveling into the past to it’s entanglement-creation point and is temporaly reflected at that point in spacetime. It will then travel forward in time again to its own entangled end location where again it is reflected into the past until it reaches its entanglement point again. There it is reflected back to it’s original (entangled) position in the future. The forward and backward peaks share the some spiraling path of course. If a photon is “absorbed” or an entanglement destroyed the energy disipates into another object/photon with different properties.
If you let one photon pass through a polarisation filter the following might happen:
- the photons existense ends and the life-loop closes, the photon is absorbed by the filter (and the peak reflected back in time)
- the photon “seems” to pass the filter, but the entanglement between the photons breaks up (never existed).
- the photon “seems” to change its orientation and passes the filter, miraculously the other photon also instantly changes its orientation
This common quantum physical interpretation is not correct though in view of the “Bitermporal Loop” model.
Two photons are only “entangled” if the share a common future and past. So if both pass a polarisation filter, then because the already have passed it from the begining and future on. So a photon which effectively passes both polarisation filters is most likely entangled, but it passes only because it has already passed it in the future. So the entangled photon does not “change” its inherent state, it already had this inherent state comming from the future. Or rather it has this “property” all the time already. If you do not add the filter it comes from a future where it was absobed. If it is measured (via filter B) then its entangled twin (maybe we can call it a twon) has already passed a matching filter in the future that’s why the entanglement exists.
If an entanglement is broken up at some point, then the photons life-loop ends at that point and the photon is reflected onto itself. On the other side of e.g. the polarisation filter - a new photon with different properties is opening a new time loop.
Conclusion
So effectively, a photon - or multiple entangled photons - are a single loop in spacetime which can be “mirrored” many times forward and backward in space and time.
Interpretation
-
Physical
- In the Two-State Vector Formalism, the state of a particle is defined not only by its initial conditions but also by its final ones.
- A bitemporal photon corresponds precisely to such a two-sidedly defined quantum.
-
Quantum-Philosophical
- The photon does not “exist” in a single time arrow, but rather embodies the superposition of two temporal directions that sustain one another.
- Past and future are not separate tracks but two mirrored halves of the same process.
-
Poetic
- A bitemporal photon is a quantum of light in the present, carrying both memory (past) and anticipation (future).
- It is the flickering point at which the universe breathes itself into two directions.
