Ariel Marion Pons is a co-author of papers developing the "Cordus conjecture," an alternative conceptual model of the photon and of matter particles. They are listed in The Worldwide List of Dissident Scientists.
Work
Ariel Marion Pons is one of four co-authors — together with Dirk John Pons, Arion Douglas Pons, and Aiden Jasper Pons — of "Wave–particle duality: A conceptual solution from the cordus conjecture," published in Physics Essays (Vol. 25, No. 1, p. 132, 2012).
The Cordus conjecture proposes that a photon, and every matter "particle," is not a zero-dimensional point but has an internal structure the authors call a "cordus": two reactive ends a small finite distance apart, joined by a connecting fibril, with the ends energised in turn at a characteristic frequency. The authors use this structure to offer a deterministic reinterpretation of the single-photon double-slit experiment and of wave behaviour such as interference fringes, arguing that a simpler underlying reality lies beneath conventional quantum mechanics. These ideas lie outside the accepted framework of mainstream physics and were published in a journal devoted to speculative and foundational proposals.
