Abstract

This paper addresses the interference of photons with themselves and the conditions under which a specific resonance creates the entangled electron/positron pair. Analysis of the forces and potentials in the interaction between photons has raised the issue of oscillating charge as the source of the alternating electric and magnetic fields comprising the photon. Since the photon is net neutral, yet is composed of electric fields, the object of this paper is to explore the physical mechanism(s) describing how the alternating fields of photons can be ‘rectified’ to produce mass and the separated opposite charges of the electron and positron pair.
