So where is the equation? I don't see one. Do you?

There's no chance, even with technology way beyond what we currently have, to catch a photon "half way out" of an emitter.
This is where the debate is from physicsforum. They admit it is possible now.
They just need tech that is way,way past what we have now.
Seeing our tech is advancing exponetially it should not be long until it is possible to
do by their own admission.
We only designed the experiment a few weeks ago so I think this
judgement a little hasty. I havn't even given much thought to how to do the experiment yet.
So there is no way I'd say it was impossible to do now until people had thought
about it for a bit, then still had no answer.
This discussion is a matter of how, not if.
If anyone would like to help, any ideas for moving a light source at high speed?

Are you participating on the "Curving light waves" thread also?
In this post I've asked about the thread on the PhysicsForum "Is a photon an EM wave packet?"
It appears to me that the mainstream scientific community can't agree on the definition of "photon."
However, I feel that if one reads his entire OP, the gist of what he's saying is that he is very confident of his theory, which came to him in a dream, and that he is reaching out, and already has reached out, to others for help with the experiment and the math.

No, I don't.

I think that if you read the entire OP, you know that he's not really saying he has the math to prove the divine now.
Yes, he is jumping to conclusions. He's excited about his idea. But I don't think he's trying to pull one over on us.
Sure, there are some details about the nature of light and subatomic particles in general that we cannot describe in any situation, including your image experiments

I was told that there was math for this theory.

Does one have to have the math to express the theory before doing the experiment?

You sound like you're dancing around the question.
Care to answer it now?

- The result of the experiment is unknown; otherwise, the physics forum would have named the experiment and the result as interpreted by mainstream physics.
- Basic fundamental physics is very much under attack nowadays. There are lots of alternative theories challenging basic, fundamental physics.
- Obviously, this experiment will have to be done by the open-source community. That's why I posted earlier about the need for posts on that topic.

Rose here is an independent thinker who is not intimidated by claims of authority in the mainstream.
