Bounded photons physics experiment


February 28, 2007,  | 
I had been presented with a disappearing light experiment conducted by David A Chalmers in 2001. Let me present you with my experiment. I had been observing blue Light-Emitting Diode (LED) using a 3D object recognition technique. WARNING - Do not try this experiment yourself, because LED might seriously damage your eyesight. LED - Safety and Health - Wikipedia

Experiment results: Photons were becoming visible and invisible in equally long intervals. I've seen about 36 photons circulating the LED. There are track points where each photon appeared (blue colour path) and disappeared (red colour path).

I couldn't recognise if photons were exact spheres, but they were moving around the LED similarly like electrons. I could clearly see the movement of each photon. The diameter of a photon by the observation method was about 1.5 mm. Movement of each photon created one ellipse. Each photon made 1 revolution in about 1 second. Each photon disappeared twice and appeared twice at the same point during each revolution.

I observed a 3D object created by the movement of photons where each photon created 2 sides of it. About 36 observed photons created an object with about 72 sides (looking like a sphere). As observation distance from the LED source of blue photons was changing, the diameter of a sphere was changing too. The closer I was, the smaller and darker sphere I saw, the farther I was, the bigger and lighter sphere I saw. The size of photons wasn't changing during observation distance change of the sphere object.

A photon as it moves is becoming visible and invisible just like "1" and "0".

From about 0,5 metre distance I could see about 50 mm dark blue sphere. From about 1,0 metre distance I could see about 100 mm blue sphere. From about 1,5 metre distance I could see about 150 mm light blue sphere.
