Abstract

In this research we propose a special motion of the photon as an electric dipole, a rotating vector in uniform linear motion termed as a “spinvector”. This proposal accounts for the intrinsic particle-wave duality of the photon. The unique kinematics of the photon explained by this spinvector can comprehensively address all aspects of electromagnetic wave theory, including various phenomena such as different light polarizations and the redshift of light when subjected to an external magnetic field, either along the wave direction or perpendicular to the oscillation direction of its electric field. Furthermore, this work provides a direct explanation for the Faraday effect as the result of the Lorentz force from an external magnetic field along the wave's propagation direction. Exploring the theory of the spinvector in motion suggests potential reactions where photons could form molecular structures or polymers. Additionally, we propose the graviton as a special photon, with one of its electric poles serving as the rotation center.
