Note: This is the 1st edition. I decided to publish it with teasers to expanded topics that will be in the 2nd edition. What was chapter one of the original version is now on Audible. This paperback version is black and white in order to offer people a more economical printed version. The printing costs of the color version are almost five times higher. There is now a color version with a large font size of 14 for easier reading. Link not working.

The transverse wave model of photons has failed at almost every prediction its proponents made. And the proof of its validity as a model for photons has failed to consider that longitudinal waves accomplish the same thing in most experiments. Extraordinary claims demand evidence, not excuses or waving off the explanation to another dimension or particle. Dark energy is based on the apparent redshift of most of the visible universe, and since transverse wave photons have no apparent mechanism to become red-shifted the conclusion made was the entire universe must be expanding. And dark energy must be the cause. Longitudinal density waves also experience gap diffraction, produce the same electrical-magnetic profile if you consider varying density, and that a longitudinal wave with an elliptical profile is polarizable. These were the key proofs that photons had to be transverse waves. Yet, longitudinal density waves accomplish the same thing. More importantly they spread out naturally as you can't keep a longitudinal wave focused so that is does not disperse. And thus, they become red-shifted naturally. No need for dark energy, an expanding universe and no big bang. Add to that the varying density, and you automatically get the photoelectric effect, and no UV Catastrophe. In contrast, the transverse wave model failed at predicting the photoelectric effect and ended up with the UV Catastrophe. As a bonus, you get an entirely new physical model for electrons and positrons, and it looks like a physical explanation for their electrical properties. And with that, answers to many questions that others failed to realized this path could lead to. Potential physical explanations that make sense. Unlike those who try to defer an answer to another particle or dimension. The Higgs field and mechanism become a moot point since the effect is a natural part of longitudinal density-wave behavior, and the Higgs particle is not necessary. The discovery of the Higgs particle is at best the mistaken identity of a particle that is around the right corrected-guestimated mass, but not what they claim to have discovered. See the book - The Higgs Fake by Alexander Unzicker. Einstein considered the same basis of a path to a solution to the problems he saw, but he was actually discouraged by others to follow this line of reasoning and where it might lead. The "ghost waves" lead to a mechanical solution to various mysteries he pondered as well as spooky-action-at-a-distance. The James Webb Space Telescope will soon reveal even more galaxies further out than expected. The Muon g−2 experiments, in the news recently (2021-04), refers to a particle physics experiment at the Fermilab, near Chicago, to measure to a higher precision the anomalous magnetic dipole moment of a muon. This test is supposed to either validate or bring into question the thoroughness, or possibly even the validity, of the Standard Model. The latest results have been interpreted to provide evidence of the possibility of the existence of an entirely new type of particle, or that they do not fully understand something.
