THE SOLAR SAIL DEFINES THE PHOTON

THE SOLAR SAIL
Copyright 1984 to 2005 Allen C. Goodrich

The Solar Sail, which is being tested by Russia and the United States,
for possible propulsion in interstellar space travel, is additional
evidence
that no change of potential energy to kinetic energy of the photon
takes place unless the potential energy is absorbed .The photon does
not have mass ( kinetic energy).
A change of direction of the photon's potential energy can occur at the
reflective surface but no potential to kinetic energy change takes
place there. A change of potential to kinetic energy takes place at the
black absorption surface.which has the correct frequency response as
well as
direction and density (time ) in the expanding universe.This is
evidence
that the photon is potential not kinetic energy.The light photon does
not have mass or kinetic energy.until the photon is absorbed by a mass
of the correct frequency response as well as direction and density
(time ), no
potential to kinetic energy change can take place.in the expanding
universe, in the absence of a mass..

Your facts are totally screwed up. A well evacuated radiometer
spins with the white side moving away from the light source.

This assumption is wrong, in fact the white side has nothing to do
with it!

A radiometer works on the principle of Gas Expansion. The black
surface absorbs infrared energy from the incident sunlight and air
molecules close to the surface absorb this heat and kick off
energetically. There must be some molecules of air present for the
vane to rotate. There can't be too many or too few molecules. If there
are too few the vane won't acquire enough momentum to spin and if
there are too many the drag is too great and heat is lost to
conduction/convection effects. Since the black side is hotter than the
white side more momentum is imparted to the black side. Thus the vane
spins from black to white.

this thing on?" and, in sci.astro, message news:MSGID_1=3a167=2f133.0_
