Intrinsic to my postulations about light speed, tessellation, and self assembly is the idea that light has two speeds – a slow speed (C), and a very fast speed (nearly instantaneous).
There are two “speeds of light.” One is the tessellation speed of the medium’s crystallographically defined self assembly. The other is the light momentum’s speed associated with the “modulus of elasticity” for the medium. Of course the assembly of the tessellating structure is slow by comparison to the travel of light over a built path. So, the slow speed of light is the tessellation speed.
The built path is not maintained for the large transverse wave. Hence, there is no return of signal for the large transverse waves. By large, I mean the traditionally measured wavelengths such as 532 nanometers for green. However; the center of tessellation is capable of receiving the reflexive light from a connected photon. This means that for the center of tessellation, the speed of light is almost instantaneous.
The speed of tesselation is slow and is what governs the traditional constant for the speed of light. The modulus of elasticity for the built path is cause for the “fast” speed of light, which is nearly instantaneous on a built path.
The equalizer for the traditional speed of light being constant is the tessellation speed. So, light is bi-speed. Two speed light explains the strong and weak forces. The elasticity of the longer lasting built path of tessellation is stronger than the unmaintained elasticity of the medium in general. So, the strong force is elasticity built from entanglement force.
By the way, the weaker elasticity of the general medium is an explanation for gravity. Gravity does not shape time space. It shapes the medium, and that medium’s elasticity becomes the force.
