Semiclassical photon models ether

This chapter describes the programme of the present author to develop yet another representation for the photon in a semiclassical setup. Section II discusses the concept of a preferred frame, and briefly evaluates the empirical evidence against it. Section HI discusses some properties of Maxwell s equations that shaped our model. Section IV presents a four-dimensional ether, which leads to a photon model in Section V. The model is based on a rotating doublet, and contains retarded and advanced potentials in a setup that hopefully avoids the pitfalls of previous attempts. A closing section, Section VI, summarizes the main findings.
