Aiden Jasper Pons is a co-author of a series of theoretical physics papers that develop the "cordus conjecture", an alternative model of the internal structure of the photon and matter particles. He is listed in The Worldwide List of Dissident Scientists.
Work
Aiden Jasper Pons is named as a co-author, together with Dirk J. Pons, Arion D. Pons and Ariel M. Pons, of the paper "Wave–particle duality: A conceptual solution from the cordus conjecture", published in Physics Essays (vol. 25, no. 1, 2012, pp. 132–140). The cordus conjecture proposes that a photon, and every matter particle, has an internal structure consisting of two "reactive ends" a small finite distance apart, joined by a connecting "fibril", with the reactive ends energised at a frequency and emitting force pulses that the authors identify with the field.
The authors apply this idea to interpret the behaviour of single photons in the double-slit experiment and to offer conceptual and quantitative accounts of several optical effects, including the critical angle, Snell's law and Brewster's angle. The cordus conjecture is a non-mainstream proposal and lies outside accepted quantum theory; it is presented by its authors as a conceptual alternative to the standard treatment of wave–particle duality.
