Photon Is Shortened Name for Electromagnetic Field but Not a Particle ()
ABSTRACT
We well know that photon concept is self-contradictory because we assume that it
is a particle with wave properties. This contradiction insensibly spoils our subconscious thinking. It is shown in the article
that photon has no 4-coordinates for work within atomic quantum electrodynamics
(QED). This implies that actually photon is not a particle. I draw attention
that QED is the most precise theory developed by humankind. It is noticed that
terms photon and electromagnetic field in practice are in use as synonyms.
These results validate the title of the article and exempt us from contradictions within quantum mechanics.
