Photons and electric field vectors

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the concept of spin in quantum mechanics, particularly focusing on fermions and their rotation properties. It posits that when two spin-1 photons combine, they can form a spin-2 particle, which is theorized to resemble a graviton. The conversation explores how fermions, which require a 720-degree rotation to return to their original state, can be understood through the interaction of electric and gravitational field vectors. The electric field vectors are said to rotate fully while the gravitational field vectors rotate only half as much due to the influence of the electric fields. This relationship is expressed through vector notation, where the gravitational vector is defined as the difference between spacelike and timelike vectors. The discussion also introduces the concept of an antigravity vector, further elaborating on the dynamics of these fields and their implications for understanding gravity and spin in particle physics.

fermion rotates through 720 degrees

If two spin 1 photons are put together so that the tips of their magnetic field vectors just touch one another ( the vector lines are all in the same plane), a particle results which looks the same when it is rotated through 180 degrees - a spin 2 particle.This is the spin a graviton is supposed to have.
Is this a graviton?
If a fermion has a finite number of electric field vectors pointing in all directions from the surface of a sphere, and it also has field vectors for the gravitational field, then the fact that a fermion has to be rotated through 720 degrees to look the same can be explained.As the electric field vectors rotate, the gravitational field vectors rotate through half the angle they do -
because the rotating electric field vectors generate a force which inhibits the rotation of the gravitational field vectors.

If we write these in vector notations, it will seem like the gravity vector is the different of two vectors:

V^{-}_G = V_s - V_t

where V_s is the spacelike vector and V_t is the timelike vector. The spacelike vector is related to the electric vector and the timelike vector is related to the magnetic vector. Now, if the angle between space-vector and time-vector varies from 0 to 360 deg, spin can be defined.

The above vector difference is the usual gravity vector but the antigravity vector can be given by:

V^{+}_G = V_t - V_s

This is from Griffiths' Electrodynamics, 3rd edition, page 352. I am trying to calculate the divergence of the Maxwell stress tensor. The tensor is given as ##T_{ij} =\epsilon_0 (E_iE_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij} E^2)+\frac 1 {\mu_0}(B_iB_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij} B^2)##. To make things easier, I just want to focus on the part with the electrical field, i.e. I want to find the divergence of ##E_{ij}=E_iE_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij}E^2##. In matrix form, this tensor should look like this...
Thread 'Applying the Gauss (1835) formula for force between 2 parallel DC currents'
Please can anyone either:- (1) point me to a derivation of the perpendicular force (Fy) between two very long parallel wires carrying steady currents utilising the formula of Gauss for the force F along the line r between 2 charges? Or alternatively (2) point out where I have gone wrong in my method? I am having problems with calculating the direction and magnitude of the force as expected from modern (Biot-Savart-Maxwell-Lorentz) formula. Here is my method and results so far:- This...
