What is the size and shape of single optical photon?
You misunderstand. I was explaining why this is a waste of effort. I wasn’t offering to waste more of my time. You should be able to evaluate some basic QM experiments.

What is the size and shape of single optical photon?
Different experiments give different results, owing to wave-particle duality

Science As A Career
You can win the lottery, too. But that's not the typical result Presenting the edge cases as typical is not a fair argument. You can have a thousand destitute people plus these three who will be, on average, multi-millionaires.

How is insisting that it's really classical underneath not exactly the same thing?

There may be 14 antimatter objects hiding in the Milky Way. These objects are called anti-stars.
The same way normal stars form. The interactions are the same. Those are excellent questions. How, indeed?

Isolated rotating unbalance. Why is there a vibration?
Yes, it does. If you treat the mass as one system and the chassis as another, they must each have equal and opposite momentum at all times. ! Moderator Note The larger issue here is you can’t ask the question and then give the answer; that’s a violation of our good faith rule (advancing an ideology or agenda at the expense of the science being discussed). Your question has been answered, and we’re not going to entertain yet another discussion involving your fanciful notions of Newton’s laws.

Isolated rotating unbalance. Why is there a vibration?
No. That’s not what anybody has said, and Newton’s laws say the chassis must move If the internal mass moves, the rest of the system has to move as well, according to Newton’s 3rd law.
-
Isolated rotating unbalance. Why is there a vibration?
It will vibrate along both axes. A conceptual simplification would be to assume everything is massless except this one mass. The chassis moves in a circle around the stationary mass.
-
Isolated rotating unbalance. Why is there a vibration?
The CoM doesn’t move if it starts at rest and there are no external forces.

Photons and electromagnetic waves
Not the way it works. Hypotheses are not assumed to be true, and falsifiability is a requirement. You use the best model available. IOW, you use the wave model to explain wave behavior. There is no inconsistency since the models explain different things.

The phrasing of the abstract is that these sources can’t be ruled out, which is quite different from claiming positive evidence that they are anti-stars

How would you test this?

The Greatest Laser Experiment In History - FECORE
Ah, of course. (I took that as square mile, not mile squared. Stupid brain)

Landing on a black hole!!
No, there’s no reason to think this is possible with known physics.

Interstellar energy source (split from Wormholes & Flying saucers)
Can you show a calculation showing how much energy would be a available?

Non-reactive motion (split from The Electromagnetic Drive put to Bed)
! Moderator Note Split; please don’t hijack discussions to bring up your own theory

mechanism of motion (split from What causes motion?)
! Moderator Note If you have a scientific model, go ahead

The Greatest Laser Experiment In History - FECORE
Said to be? Nonsense. What if the area I take is 0.01 miles wide by 100 miles long - does it still have 8 inches of curvature? Rules say you post the info for discussion, as nobody is required to watch a video in order to participate

Banned/Suspended Users
IDNeon has been banned because, good grief, they wouldn’t leave it alone. Repeated personal attacks, thread hijacking and soapboxing. Over and over again, without much science to dilute the crap.

SpaceX lied.

It would mean something if you explained why, instead of just repeating it.

Alternative power sources megathread?
I think Alcoa probably used proper units. Her’s another source. https://agmetalminer.com/2015/11/24/power-costs-the-production-primary-aluminum/ 15 kwh per kg, or 15,000 kwh per ton That gets you to 25.5 TWh for 1.7 million tons

What is the size and shape of single optical photon?
You could only determine this by interacting with the photon, which you don’t, as the scenario is described.
