To investigate photon dynamics, force interactions, and energy-momentum exchanges using effective mass, and to explore mechanical analogies with cosmological dark energy.
Applied extended classical mechanics and mass-energy equivalence to derive the effective mass and dynamic properties of photons.
Formulated mathematical equations relating photon net force to acceleration and apparent mass.
Constructed a comparative theoretical framework linking photon negative inertia to the mass-energy equations of cosmic dark energy.
Derived the net force equation for photons as F = −Mᵃᵖᵖ·aᵉᶠᶠ, demonstrating an inverse relationship governed by dynamic apparent mass rather than rest mass.
Established the effective mass relationship Mᵉᶠᶠ = Mᴍ + (−Mᵃᵖᵖ), mathematically mirroring cosmological models of dark energy.
Demonstrated that photon effective mass mechanics qualitatively describe macroscopic cosmological phenomena, including gravitational lensing and redshift.
