Is Matter Made of Light?

Richard Gauthier
SCAS November 12 Meeting, 7:30 PM

Is a photon made up of a faster-than-light quantum particle moving along a helical path whose circumference always equals its wavelength? And can that helical path close on itself when this superluminal quantum particle goes transluminal (passing through the speed of light billions of billions of times per second) to form an electron?

Join Richard Gauthier, an SRJC Physics Instructor and independent physics researcher, to explore this remarkable hypothesis.

Richard presented this proposal at the February 2006 Space Technology and Applications International Forum (STAIF-2006) in New Mexico, as well as at several American Physical Society national meetings. More information can be found at: www.superluminalquantum.org

Richard graduated in physics from M.I.T. He taught physics in the Peace Corps in Ghana, West Africa before getting his masters degree in physics from the University of Illinois. Seeing few job prospects in high energy physics in the early 70’s, he switched to experimental psychology and got a Ph.D from Stanford. He worked at Bell Labs, then became a full-time meditation teacher in Europe, pursuing his interests in physics, psychology and consciousness. He is now in his third year teaching physics at the Santa Rosa Junior College.

Richard has been developing his ideas about photons and electrons for about 15 years and has presented his hypotheses at several European universities as well as at American Physical Society meetings in the U.S.
