Oct 14, 2014 at 12:37 comment added garyp The relevance to my comment (not answer) is that the OP is conducting research on photons, and Lamb's article provides a history of the concept. There's nothing kooky about his Anit-photon paper. As for your dismissal of his analysis of the photoelectric effect: not so fast. I don't know if Lamb was a kook or not, but in the two cases considered here, he is not. But I'm with you on one thing. It's easy to come up with a list of Nobel laureates who are kooks.
Oct 14, 2014 at 3:17 comment added user4552 @garyp: Lamb was a Nobel Prize winner and also a kook. See physics.stackexchange.com/q/68147 . In any case, he has zero relevance here.
Oct 12, 2014 at 0:39 comment added garyp If you are researching photons, I recommend this article by Nobel laureate Willis Lamb. It discusses the history of the photon concept, and the misconceptions around the concept. (Like Lamb, I avoid the use of the word as much as possible.)
