- Hello sci.physics
-
- I've been trying to formulate my thoughts and would like some
- net.criticism concerning them. Here goes...
-
- Consider a simple universe with only two particles contained therein:
- Particles One and Two. Now One has charge +Q and Two has charge -Q, so
- this universe is charge neutral. One has spin +1/2 and Two has spin -1/2,
- so this universe is spin neutral. Both have the same rest mass M. Use a
- frame of reference whose origin is coincident with the center of mass.
- Impose an initial condition that these two are in a positronium ground
- state configuration; the M, Q, and S are not necessarily those of electrons
- and positrons.
-
- Consider the evolution of this universe. The particles annihilate and
- produce two photons with equal energy E, opposite spins +-1, and opposite
- momentums +-P.
-
- Now here's the result I desire: the photons' E is enough to bend space
- closed. The photons orbit this space and collide produceing particles
- exactly equivalent to the initial condition of particles One and Two.
- Einstein's "The Meaning of Relativity" includes a description of a space
- metric (I forget if it's Einstein's or De Sitters' Universe) which has the
- property of a photon performing a closed orbit of a distance R in some
- time T. A duo-photon black hole of sorts.
-
- Is this possible mathematically, within the framework of GR and QED?
-
- Can't hurt to ask,
-
