Cheerios as Donut Shapes Floating in Milk as Tori Model

Using Cheerios as a donut shape, and them floating in milk as if they were the outer shell of electrons on a gold reflective mirror.

I asked one of those A.I. image makers to make a spiral spring out of cheerios material. The AI gave me little bumps on the spring surface. Let your imagination accept for a moment, that image A is sortof like a photon.

The little bumps on image A are OK because they can represent the little surface outflows on a photon. Image B should also have those little bumps, but use your imagination.

When something bumps into something else, we're accustomed to thinking that they don't actually touch, because their electron outer shells of those atoms will repel the object.

The time is approaching I think, for us to refine that understanding and realize that it's the mini-electrons on the surface of electrons that do the repelling, and that's nice because it lets the repelling force be spreading out pointing in more than one direction.

I happen to be hypothesizing about photons having a surface of mini-electrons too, (like the electron, see my earlier post today), so when a photon hits a reflective surface, it will bounce quite similarly to a steel ball or a tennis ball, unless that surface is made of special retroreflective materials.
