B Is Photon Rotation Key to Solar Wind and Earth's Orbit Stability?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the misconception that photons can transform into electrons by changing their direction of rotation, which violates fundamental conservation laws in physics. Participants clarify that photons and electrons are fundamentally different particles, with distinct properties such as mass, charge, and spin. The idea that solar radiation affects Earth's orbit stability through this transformation is dismissed as unfounded and speculative. Additionally, the concept of the Sun "recharging" the Earth is critiqued as a misunderstanding of charge and energy dynamics. The thread concludes with a call for scientifically grounded questions rather than personal speculation.

TL;DR Summary
Why does the Sun need sunlight?
A photon is different from an electron. At least by the fact that it is neutral. But, flying into the silicon lattice, it knocks out an electron and takes its place. That is, it becomes an electron.

How does such a magical transformation happen?
I may be wrong, but I think that a photon becomes an electron just by changing the direction of rotation.
That is, a proton, an electron, a photon are the same particle that has different directions of rotation.
Continuing my amateur guesses, I will develop my idea. If a photon (light) differs from an electron only in the direction of rotation, then theoretically the flow of photons can be affected (for example, by a magnetic field), change the rotation and turn it into a flow of electrons and / or protons.
I may be wrong, but I think that this is the key to solving the existence of such a phenomenon as the "Solar Wind".
Getting to the Earth, the flow of photons turns into a set of electrons (or protons). Why is this necessary? So that the Earth sits firmly in orbit. I understand that the Earth itself has a non-neutral charge, quite definite (positive or negative). But the charge can be lost (as with any battery). And the Sun "recharges" the Earth. That is, sunlight is not an abstract thing, but a mechanism for maintaining communication between the Sun and the planets of the Solar system.
Hence the explanation of the variability of solar radiation (periods of solar activity). When the Sun "feels" the weakening of the connection, it emits more light.

I would like to hear the opinion of respected physicists. Thanks.

This is very wrong. It violates the conservation of spin, charge, and four-momentum

Noen of this is correct.

No, it does not. The photoelectric effect does not turn photons into electrons.

It doesn’t.

As mentioned above this violates several conservation laws: charge, spin, four-momentum, angular momentum, and probably others.
EVL361753 said:

No, an electron with a different direction of rotation is another electron, not a photon or proton.

On PF, all posts must be consistent with the professional scientific literature. Personal speculation is not permitted. Therefore this thread is closed.
EVL361753 said:

It doesn’t. It also differs in mass, spin, and charge.

If you have specific non-speculative questions about the solar wind then please open a separate thread. Remember to ask questions about the current state of understanding and not provide your personal speculation.

This is a complete non-sequitor. Nothing about the flow of photons or solar wind particle’s stabilizes the earth’s orbit.

Batteries don’t lose or gain charge, despite the common vernacular. They lose or gain chemical potential energy.

Charge is also largely unrelated to communication.

If you have questions about the variability of solar activity please ask in a separate thread without proposing such speculative mechanisms.

Unfortunately, it is not positive at all. Thread closed.

Thread 'Is there a white hole inside every black hole?'
This is what I am thinking. How much feasible is it? There is a white hole inside every black hole The white hole spits mass/energy out continuously The mass/energy that is spit out of a white hole drops back into it eventually. This is because of extreme space time curvature around the white hole Ironically this extreme space time curvature of the space around a white hole is caused by the huge mass/energy packed in the white hole Because of continuously spitting mass/energy which keeps...
Why do two separately floating objects in a liquid "attract" each other ?? What if gravity is an emergent property like surface tension ? What if they both are essentially trying to *minimize disorder at the interfaces — where non-aligned polarized particles are forced to mix with each other* What if gravity is an emergent property that is trying to optimize the entropy emerging out of spin aligned quantum bits
