Photons - Continued from Bad Site Design comments - Biskit

Photons. Are they particles or waves? Energy or matter? Discreet packets but yet continuous... how? E=mc^2, or does it? To distinguish discreet from continuous, we need to consider time... but wasn't time suggested as part of this enigma already... a 4th dimension? Are these concepts possible simultaneously?

Also, does it mean we can have negative time? How does that affect our perception? If i, j and k are perpendicular unit vectors in the x, y and z directions respectively, how do we describe the unit vector l in the t direction? Is is perpendicular to the three dimensional x,y,z 'plane'? Is this 'plane' analogous to the whole universe, and if so, what is its infinity? What is t's infinity? What is its negative infinity?

Taking t=0 arbitarily as the 'big bang', how do we describe physically the time before this? String theory? M-theory? Similarly, how about adding a 5th dimension: thermodynamic temperature, so we can describe the temperature of a fixed point at a determined time. Or can we? Again we come accross the bottom limit, 0 kelvin, at which point there is no energy, by definition. Ah we've hit another enigma... we're back at energy. This begs the question... if, by e=mc^2, a photon has energy (also it must have, because it has velocity and mass), and at 0 kelvin there is no energy, how can we see anything?

What if we go below 0K, do we have negative energy as well as negative time? If we call m the unit vector in the T (not to be confused with t) 'direction', what is the vector cross product of, say, a=-2l and b=-666m? What is the dot product?

Again, we are required to perform integrals... is it possible to integrate with respect to temperature? Hmm thats a thought. Is anyone still reading this bollocks? Finally, what about entropy S? Is it independant of the other five dimensions, or is it dependant.

By definition entropy can only increase with time when integrated three dimensionally accross all space, so does that make S dependant on t, so x,y and z are dependant on S, but S is also dependant on T, surely? So chemists believe anyway. Does that mean that everything depends on verything else, and in that case, shouldn't the universe be either completely static or oscillating? Perhaps it is oscillating and we just don't know it yet... have I just made a groundbreaking discovery? Or was that all total shite? Answers in comments please.
