4.14 THE TRINITY<br />
There is however another<br />
striking similarity between<br />
God’s dimensional property and<br />
the Photon’s dimensional<br />
property of spin. The spin of the<br />
Photon (We really do not know<br />
what this means.) is 1 and it is a<br />
Boson.<br />
This means that for<br />
someone outside of it looking at<br />
the photon it can have any of the following spin states: +1, 0 or -1<br />
with reference to his own system of reference. This is a Trinitarian<br />
comparison. However for a massless particle, we cannot go to a rest<br />
frame. For a spin 1 particle there should be three possible values,<br />
along the direction of motion, away from it and zero. But Photons have<br />
spin 1, yet they only show two possible spin values +1 and -1 along<br />
the direction of travel. The gauge invariance forces the other state<br />
inaccessible for observation. The Zero spin state cannot be observed<br />
directly. In a photon we start with a vector field, which actually has 4<br />
degrees of freedom, but gauge invariance forces 2 of these degrees of<br />
freedom to be unphysical. Thus the two persons that interact with<br />
physical beings in the Godhead are Son and the Holy Spirit. Father<br />
and the Godhead aspect of Nirguna Brahman are not viable to<br />
interaction directly.<br />
The fact that it is a Boson means that we cannot really distinguish<br />
between one photon from another. They are identical in character,<br />
nature and indistinguishable. I may be stretching the symbolism<br />
too far. But one cannot over look this striking fact.<br />
