(Disk of spinning photons {Ignore dots}; spinning reduces pressure, so normal pressure at outer ring adheres them to central red photon.)
* I think I may have a good refinement for Miles Mathis' atomic particle and photon model.
- I believe slow-moving, or stationary non-spinning photons would stick to the equator of a stationary spinning photon. Steven Rado mentioned in his Aethrokinematics CD that moving objects have lower pressure than stationary objects. If two pingpong balls are hung from threads so that they rest about an inch or so apart, a breath of air between them will reduce the air pressure there and the surrounding air pressure forces the two balls together briefly. A related fact is that water clings to a wheel that is spinning, but not to one that is stationary, nor to one that spins too fast. And it's all because motion produces lower pressure, apparently.
- Starting then with a fairly stationary spinning photon, in a sea of fairly stationary mostly non-spinning photons, the surface of the spinning photon has lower pressure than the surrounding photon pressure, because motion reduces pressure. Therefore, normal pressure in surrounding photons pushes them to the equator of the spinning photon, where they either move along following its equatorial spin, or they remain in place at its equator, but spin in reverse. The outer ring of photons may then "attract" a second outer ring in the same way and so on. Centrifugal force causes the photons to move to the equator and the series of outer rings form a disk shape.
- Surrounding photon pressure pushes photons in toward the poles of the disk and centrifugal force pushes them radially along the surface to the equator. If the spin is fast enough, and the disk wide enough, the centrifugal force becomes greater than the low pressure at the disk's equator and the photons start being emitted, instead of adding to the size of the disk. They would be emitted at light speed.
- I haven't figured out what would make electrons different from protons and neutrons, though. This model would be similar to Mathis' spinning proton model, but not extremely similar.
Mathis Model?
* Here's kind of what Mathis' model looks like:
- The smallest circle on the left containing one red dot is a spinning spherical photon. The two circles with one and two dots are the torus shape that the photon makes by spinning around a point on its surface between the two circles. This is the first stacked spin. The larger circle with 3 dots is a sphere formed by the torus rotating around its horizontal axis. The two circles with 3 dots and 4 dots are another torus and so on. The torus with 5 and 6 dots is the electron, I think, and the one with 7 and 8 dots is the proton.
- Two problems with Mathis' model are: 1) all of the stacked spins involve just one photon, so why would the mass increase just from making the photon's spin more complicated? 2) Mathis' model of atoms relies on spinning proton disks, but he actually regards them as spheres, and it's hard to see how they can be considered stable disks, if they're nearly spherical.
- The model above solves both of those problems, but it doesn't distinguish between electrons, protons and neutrons formed from disks of photons. Maybe an electron would be a smaller disk of photons, and a proton would be a larger disk. But what would a neutron be? Why would it not emit photons just as protons do? It should be the size of a proton and an electron combined.
Flanagan's Smoke Ring Atoms
* G. Patrick Flanagan had a somewhat similar model of subatomic particles. He thought they might be like smoke rings, which are spinning toruses, where the spin is around the circular cross section. The arrows in the following diagram show what I mean better.

- In this diagram the spin is inward from the top. To make an electron there'd need to be a ring spinning outward from the top placed on top of this ring. This would pull in aether from the equator and push it out at the poles (where the hole is). A proton would be arranged oppositely with the second ring below the first ring, making aether come in at the poles and go out at the equator. A neutron would be a third ring on top or bottom, supposedly neutralizing the aether movement, which is somewhat similar to what Mathis' model does.
Photon Blob Disks = Electrons and Protons?
* My first model above could produce a ring, if the central photon were removed and if the ring photons were somehow made to spin vertically instead of horizontally. But I don't think Flanagan's model is very realistic, since the neutron doesn't seem to be all that neutralized.
- My first model could also produce stacked spins, like Mathis', if a disk of photons were somehow made to spin along the horizontal axis. I imagine a disk could be spun that way, if it were hit by a photon from a fairly vertical direction. But would the vertically spinning horizontal disk then fill in with photons to form a spherical blob of photons? I suppose it would for the same reason that the initial outer ring of photons would form. In that case the larger sphere of photons might form a disk, just as the initial photon did, by drawing in surrounding photons, but this time by drawing in surrounding spherical blobs of photons.
* Well, this looks somewhat promising.
