Features of photons explain behaviors such as aberration of light and light speed

What is it about?

The electric E and magnetic B field amplitudes for photons were calculated for frequencies of light ranging over the entire EM spectrum. Although E and B magnitudes vary widely, the ratio of E to B remains constant and determines the intrinsic speed that all photons have with respect to their own instantaneous position, c = E/B. Photons are miniscule corpuscles of massless energy with electric fields that may be compared to that from electrons and protons but carry no net charge or dipole. Aberration of light can be caused by motion of sources (Bradley aberration) or motion of detectors (secular aberration) but also a third type described here, namely synchronous aberration. Here, images of objects propagate through space between synchronously moving source end target that report the appearance of objects that existed when the image formed and later arrive at a position at which the detector arrives.

Why is it important?

Much interest exists about detailing the structure of photons, their size and characteristics. This article describes aspects of photons not previously determined. Synchronous aberration of light is necessary to comprehend before understanding the proof that true time for any event does not dilate due to motion of observers or detectors that do not control that event.
