The plot below shows a frozen stream of gyrons in the photon.

The flower pattern depicts the view in the direction of wave propagation, while the climbing vine shows a side-view of the same pattern.

The flow in the aether is expressed as the product between the gyron population density and their velocity, while the stream-lines are obtained from the ratio of flow components in space. The readers who are interested in the details of how this is done can find an outline in my other web-sites (http://www.aetherpress.com), and books listed there, as well as in other referenced publications. In any case, all the relevant fluid mechanics has already been supplied by Euler during the 18th century.

So, what then is new here? Just two things: The assumption that an aether fluid exists, and that the observed matter can propagate through the aether without any impediment, explained in the electron section of this web-site. The transverse wave nature of the electromagnetic fields comes out automati-cally once the fields are properly interpreted, and a solution of the relevant equations is found.

The vacuum is full of randomly moving gyrons that determine the pressure in the aether (described in my other web-sites), but the photon wavelet consists of a collection of gyrons that move in the depicted organized pattern. This wavelet is fairly short, it builds up, and decreases over only a few wavelengths, and that is why laser pulses can be very short. This bunch of organized gyrons propagates in a straight line with the speed of light for a very long time before their number decreases.

It is my conjecture that the loss of gyrons is the real cause for the cosmic red-shift of light and the rest of the electro-magnetic spectrum. When the photon loses some gyrons, its wavelength increases, but it remains stable, while this is not the case with the vortices in the aether.

The top plot on the right shows the gyron density and pressure within the photon.
