Photons Polarizing Space


Recommended Posts

I read this paper and really don't understand a lot of it. But I did the impression that the gist of it was that photons polarize space in some preferred direction as they move through it. Am I on the right track or not?

I don't see anything in that paper about polarizing space. "Momentum space" and "position space" are just the representations of the photon, described as a function of momentum or position, respectively. e.g. a graph of position vs time of a particle is looking at that particle in position space. Momentum vs time would be momentum space. But all of that is looking at the particle, not the "physical" space (i.e. the region that occupies a volume)
