“I’d like to know about the possible applications.”

In the video embedded in the article, they speculate that this superfast phenomena (femtoseconds), might be used to measure/study/develop new advanced materials and processes at the nano-scale, and smaller/faster.

So potentially a whole new class of scientific instruments, beyond the communications applications.

I was scuba diving in said lake and found a bunch of notes.
Thanks, I will become famous.

Unfortunately all my notes were lost...in a boating accident.

That accident was a real tragedy. Unlike your notes, this paper addressing "self-torque" defies understanding.

LOL

you posted the freaking thing!! :)

From now on everybody has to be an expert on whatever thread they put up here!

Where’s Jim??

:)

You can keep the notes. But I would like my favorite pistol back. I need it to keep my ten bad-tempered neighbors in line.

“Self-torque” has some unfortunate side effects as in hairy palms and blindness.

> “The researchers promptly dubbed the new property self-torque—and not only is it a newly discovered property of light, it is also one that has never even been predicted.”

Oh what a bunch of moose droppings! Everyone knows Al Gore invented this to counter the polar vortex.

The polarization is electrical - wave model; the momentum is kinetic - photon model.

Well, scientists have also discovered that if you cross Jim Beam with Vanilla, you end up with this new physical concoction...

The orbital angular momentum of light (OAM) is the component of angular momentum of a light beam that is dependent on the field spatial distribution, and not on the polarization. It can be further split into an internal and an external OAM. The internal OAM is an origin-independent angular momentum of a light beam that can be associated with a helical or twisted wavefront. The external OAM is the origin-dependent angular momentum that can be obtained as cross product of the light beam position (center of the beam) and its total linear momentum.

Indeed, there is certainly that. Some of us were concerned for awhile about the blindness aspect. Now, after several decades, one can't help but notice how many more men than women wear glasses. It was probably a close call.

they appear as doughnut-shaped

That sounds like a very ubiquitous property of everything having magnitude (not immediately overcome by accelerative convergence). With magnetism, one will find both the hypertrochoid pattern of a force divergence, its precession and its convergent return to an inertial plane, recognized as a vortex, all combining into what most people would term "a doughnut."

It's important to recognize that a photon is an imaginary construct. If one subscribes to Einstein's claimed duality thereof, that it is both a particle and wave, that person is simply wrong. A wave is a consequential property of space, a waveform perturbation of space. Neither does a light bulb emit particles, as if it were giving up its matter in some process. A light bulb sets up a waveform of ether perturbations that are carried along by the ether. Light "particles" are not whizzed along to be collected into the catcher's mitt of our retainae or cameras' CCDs. Retinae and CCDs do not need to be scraped off or shaken out after years of photonic particle accumulations. We and they are simply designed with sensitivity to ether perturbations.

If more of us spoke German "Spukhafte Wirkung," more would have an appropriate resistance to associating our reputations with such a spurious concept. (He was saying that this was "the work of ghosts." No, Albert, no ghosts are required here.)

Were you aware that Einstein, when Edison was considering him for a job gave Einstein a test, after which Edison said Einsten "failed."? Not just that he wasn't all that hot, "[he] failed." Despite Edison's wonderfully tenacious ingenuity and inventiveness, he couldn't hold a candle an incandescent light to the likes of Heavside, Buscovits, Dollard, Faraday, Russell, Maxwell or Steinmetz.

Nikola Tesla dubbed (and was echoed by several of his peers) that Einstein was a "fuzzy-haired idiot (alternately crack-pot)." C.P. Steinmetz observed that certain phenomena were in no way constrained by an asserted maximum speed of light. Many true scientists have observed that instantaneous action at a distance is real. (When our government allows access to its breadth of the knowledge base in this area, a security clearance is required. Now, why would that be?)

The article's described "self-torque" may well be the commonly-observed property of magnetism precession (as seen in the picture below) along with the paired principles of force divergence and accelerative convergence. These are seen to occur with all magnetic coherence. "[O]rbital angular momentum" has obviously not been seen for the first time in connection with the article.

Anyone who thinks in terms of photons manifesting a particle/wave duality is simply perpetuating (the plagiarist) Einstein's mindless misunderstandings. What Einstein codified as his General Relativity was largely "borrowed" from the Henri Poincaré disk model and the Lorentz Transform.

Einstein's being given a Nobel Prize was a distraction that was in actuality a propagandistic event. He was given a Nobel prize for observing something JJ Thompson had already observed, but Einstein's explanation for what he observed was incorrect as to its causality. Describing what one observes should properly be almost always understood as separable from credit for a proper explanation of what caused that which was observed.

Einstein and many of his followers would more properly be considered primarily mathematicians than physicists or scientists. Using entirely counter-intuitive "uncommon sense" (since his musings self-admittedly couldn't be made to jibe with common sense) the adored Richard Feynman admitted that some particles' existence was claimed to allow the equations to balance. The universe's behavior does not require uncommon sense or a calculator to make equations balance.

There is no proper duality between a need for both common sense and uncommon sense. We should have a better sense of shame and be more circumspect to realize how many times the slate of purported knowledge has had to be "wiped clean" when succeeding generations was forced to repair or jettison the misconstruances of previous generations.

In addition to his penchant for plagiarism, Einstein never invented anything, is responsible for zero percent of the world's electrical infrastructure, and has been the force around which generations of potentially brilliant minds have been forced to degrade themselves at the altar of perpetual academic regurgitation while untold billions have been wasted chasing quarks, muons, leptons, gluons, electrons, neutrinos, W and Z bosons, or a god particle dubbed Higgs Boson. "Moron" was already taken. The Deep State's bright minds at S4 are far better trained.

The particle cult does not truly understand what it calls a photon. A collection of observations should not be mistaken for understanding. That is even more readily seen in their assertion of the existence of virtual photons supposedly involved in magnetism. The doughnut and vortex of a magnet should instruct us that the only "straight lines" in the universe are those our limited minds reduce from our constrained understanding of time.

Don’t cross the streams.

Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light.

OK, I have afterburner singes on my scalp. It flew right over my head.

And I really tried to understand all this.
