Comments on the Invariance of Physical Laws Under Particle Re-Arrangement

TL;DR

This paper explores the invariance of physical laws under particle re-arrangement, proposing that such invariance implies the existence of photon twins that can be spatially separated and affect brightness observations.

Contribution

It introduces a novel interpretation linking particle re-arrangement invariance to photon twins and their observational consequences.

Findings

Photon twins can become spatially separated in astronomical contexts.

Detection of one photon twin causes the disappearance of its twin.

Tilting detectors can induce brightness variations due to twin separation.

Abstract

Observationally and experimentally, physical laws express how particles interact. Conversely, physical laws should be invariant under any re-arrangement of those particles, e.g., the laws of gravity do not change if one re-arranges the stars in the sky. To explore the physical meaning of these assertions, arguments are presented that show how the freedom of particle re-arrangement leads to an identical twin associated with any photon, i.e., nature sees double. These twins can become spatially separated for astronomically distant objects and are special in that detection of the one causes the disappearance of the other. A tilting detector then leads to brightness variations across an image for twin separations on the order of the detector size.
