I doubt the photon is truly fundamental.
I've mentioned this recently in another thread but I'm pretty sure E=hf is hiding information and the units of plancks constant are wrong.
I think the equation should be
E=htf where h is in Joules/oscillation (quanta of energy) t is measure time and f is osillations/second.
Check out Juliana H.J Mortensen's work.
The upshot is that in this model, every oscillation of light carries the same energy regardless of frequency. This supports wave particle duality even more so than the current model, and takes the uncertainty out of the uncertainty principle.
- vermilingua 7y agoForgive the layperson question, but: if all light carries the same energy regardless of frequency, would this experiment (where one photon is split into three with the same sum frequency) not violate conservation of energy?
- rpz 7y agoThe idea here is that what people generally regard as a "photon" today is actually one second's worth of oscillations of light at a particular frequency. Imagine each oscillation of light as the true elementary particle instead. There are plenty of those elementary particles within the classical "photon" that can be split out into smaller "photons" of a different frequency.

- rpz 7y agoLol downvote me all you want folks. https://img1.wsimg.com/blobby/go/e266e5e7-739c-437c-89c3-eed60d3a9f3f/downloads/1cfqec4a8_58871.pdf https://img1.wsimg.com/blobby/go/e266e5e7-739c-437c-89c3-eed...
