Bob, you will jave to read back messages if you want to come into this
thread.

I have been following the discussion. It is interesting.

I was just pointing out to you that IF 'photon pressure' effects the
photon 'size', then photons in a laser beam would change frequency and
wavelength as the intensity of the beam is increased because the 'photon
pressure' would increase with increasing of intensity.

If the effect were strong enough to help explain some of the things you
are trying to use it to explain, it would be very noticable in laser
beam experiments.

This does NOT happen.

Photons do not behave like rubber cars.

Don't just jump in here and make silly statements Bob, without thinking
a bit more about this.
I have a new theory that appears to fit in with all aspects of variable
star observations. Let's examine it, not throw it out without even
looking.

I do not throw cold water on people that are 'brain storming', that is
trying to think of as many ideas as possible, no matter how wild they may
be. But, in science, there comes a point when one weeds out those ideas
that do not pass the test of 'does this agree with current data'.

The idea that 'photon pressure' would cause photons to get shorter is a
cool idea, as a brain storming idea. But it fails to pass the first test of
practicallity.

There are many places that photons travel together in large groups, photons
in those groups would suffer from the same compression as the photons from
stars. We don't see photons compressing and shifting in frequency and
wavelength.

On the otherhand, if there were experments showing just such a phenomina,
they would support your idea.
