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

Thread 'Inducing EMF Through a Coil: Understanding Flux'
Thank you for reading my post. I can understand why a change in magnetic flux through a conducting surface would induce an emf, but how does this work when inducing an emf through a coil? How does the flux through the empty space between the wires have an effect on the electrons in the wire itself? In the image below is a coil with a magnetic field going through the space between the wires but not necessarily through the wires themselves. Thank you.
Thread 'Griffith, Electrodynamics, 4th Edition, Example 4.8. (Second part)'
I am reading the Griffith, Electrodynamics book, 4th edition, Example 4.8. I want to understand some issues more correctly. It's a little bit difficult to understand now. > Example 4.8. Suppose the entire region below the plane ##z=0## in Fig. 4.28 is filled with uniform linear dielectric material of susceptibility ##\chi_e##. Calculate the force on a point charge ##q## situated a distance ##d## above the origin. In the page 196, in the first paragraph, the author argues as follows ...
