No sign of notability. Can't find any sources other than the obscure primary one given. (Obscure as in journal not listed in Web of Knowledge.) &mdash;&thinsp; H HHIPPO  21:22, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete unsourced crankery. Xxanthippe (talk) 21:42, 30 January 2013 (UTC).
 * Delete. It's junk like this that makes me realize why we require reliable secondary sources for research results. It's too easy to get nonsense published in unscrupulous journals. Anyway, I think WP:FRINGE covers this: it goes against the scientific consensus and has no mainstream sources explaining that fact, therefore we are unable to cover it in a sufficiently neutral fashion, so we should not cover it at all. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:53, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete Agreed, this is a fringe theory (WP:FRINGE) in that goes against scientific mainstream with respect to quantum mechanics and electrodynamics and apparently has few adherents. Even as a fringe theory, there is only a single primary source and no independent sources on which to base an article The article also makes exceptional claims about mainstream theories, e.g., quantum mechanics cannot explain phenomena such as interference, but provides no exceptional evidence for such assertions, failing WP:EXCEPTIONAL. The article fails notability and verifiability guidelines and should be deleted. Mark viking (talk) 23:30, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete In addition to the non-notability, much of it is a verbatim copy of the cited paper, e.g. the section
 * A photon has a nucleus ... Spinning speed is proportional to the frequency & energy of photon and inversely proportional to the wavelength
