One of the more puzzling aspects of our universe is explaining how particles such a photon can have the properties of electromagnetic wave. <\/font><\/span>
\nHowever this maybe due to a lack of the understanding of the mechanism responsible for the formation of a particle. <\/font><\/p>\n

For example the article “<\/font>Why is energy\/mass quantized?<\/font><\/span><\/a>” shown one can explain a particles properties by extrapolating the laws of classical resonance in three-dimensional space to a matter wave on a “surface” of a three-dimensional space manifold with respect to a fourth *spatial* dimension. <\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Briefly it showed the four conditions required for resonance to occur in a classical Newtonian environment, an object, or substance with a natural frequency, a forcing function at the same frequency as the natural frequency, the lack of a damping frequency and the ability for the substance to oscillate spatial would occur in one consisting of four *spatial* dimensions. .<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

The existence of four *spatial* dimensions would give a space (the substance) the ability to oscillate on a “surface” between a third and fourth *spatial* dimensions thereby fulfilling one of the requirements for classical resonance to occur. <\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

These oscillations would be caused by an event such as the decay of a subatomic particle or the shifting of an electron in an atomic orbital. This would force the “surface” of a three-dimensional space manifold with respect to a fourth *spatial* dimension to oscillate with the frequency associated with the energy of that event.<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore, these oscillations in space would meet the requirements mentioned above for the formation of a resonant system or “structure” in space. <\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Observations of a three-dimensional environment show the energy associated with resonant system can only take on the incremental or discreet values associated with a fundamental or a harmonic of the fundamental frequency of its environment. <\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore, one could explain and predict that the incremental or discrete energies associated with particles in terms o f the resonant properties of an electromagnetic matter wave.<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

However, as the article “<\/font>Electromagnetism in four *spatial* dimensions<\/font><\/span><\/a>” Sept. 27, 2007 showed one can also explain and predict its electromagnetic properties by extrapolating the laws of classical wave mechanics to a matter wave moving on a “surface” of a three-dimensional space manifold with respect to a fourth *spatial* dimension. <\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Briefly a wave on the two-dimensional surface of water causes a point on that surface to be become displaced or rise above or below the equilibrium point that existed before the wave was present.  A force will be developed by the differential displacement of the surfaces, which will result in the elevated and depressed portions of the water moving towards or become “attracted” to each other and the surface of the water.<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Similarly a matter wave on the “surface” of a three-dimensional space manifold with respect to a fourth *spatial* dimension would cause a point on that “surface” to become displaced or rise above and below the equilibrium point that existed before the wave was present.<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

However, as just mentioned classical wave mechanics, if extrapolated to four *spatial* dimensions tells us the force developed by the differential displacements caused by a matter wave moving on a “surface” of three-dimensional space with respect to a fourth *spatial* dimension will result in its elevated and depressed portions moving towards or become “attracted” to each other. <\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

This defines the causality of the attractive forces of unlike charges associated with the electromagnetic wave component of a photon in terms of a force developed by a differential displacement of a point on a “surface” of a three-dimensional space manifold with respect to a fourth *spatial* dimension. <\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

However, it also provides a classical mechanism for understanding why similar charges repel each other because observations of water show that there is a direct relationship between the magnitudes of a displacement in its surface to the magnitude of the force resisting that displacement. <\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Similarly the magnitude of a displacement in a “surface” of a three-dimensional space manifold with respect to a fourth *spatial* dimension caused by two similar charges will be greater than that caused by a single one.  Therefore, similar charges will repel each other because the magnitude of the force resisting the displacement will be greater for two similar charges than it would be for a single charge. <\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

One can define the causality of electrical component of electromagnetic radiation in terms of the energy associated with its “peaks” and “troughs” that is directed perpendicular to its velocity vector while its magnetic component would be associated with the horizontal force developed by that perpendicular displacement. <\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

However, Classical Mechanics tells us a horizontal force will be developed by that perpendicular or vertical displacement which will always be 90 degrees out of phase with it.  This force is called magnetism.<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

This is analogous to how the vertical force pushing up of on mountain also generates a horizontal force, which pulls matter horizontally towards from the apex of that displacement. <\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

However as mentioned earlier the quantum mechanical or particle properties of an electromagnetic wave can also be derived by extrapolating the laws of classical resonance to a matter wave on a “surface” of a three-dimensional space manifold with respect to a fourth *spatial* dimension.<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

This explains and predicts how and why <\/span>particles such a photon can have the properties of electromagnetic wave in terms of the laws of classical mechanics. <\/span><\/font><\/p>\n
