Paper Abstract
The postulated 2nd quantization creation-annihilation operators at and a in the radiation-photon Hamiltonian
comprise some of the many unexplained assumptions of mainstream Standard Model physics. But we show here
that these operators do not have to be 'postulated'. The uncertainty principle must apply to both the sine wave
photon source and its receiver allowing different source frequencies ω and ω'even for a plane wave. Thus the
prosthaphaeresis formula cosω't + cosωt = 2cos(½(ω'+ω)t)cos(½(ω-ω')t) then gives this beat frequency as Δω=
½(ω-ω'). These beat frequency envelopes, or lobes, are then the 'photons' which provides the motivation for the
use of at and a. Thus the 'photon' does not have to be postulated and we have explained its origin.
