Abstract
The empirical formulations of quantum theory do not afford an adequate insight into the physical processes which generate the photon. Experimentally confirmed photon correlations, unretarded by light speed propagation, are paradoxical from the viewpoint of relativity. Resolution of the resulting dilemma can only come from a better understanding of the physical nature of the photon. Just as quantum theory is, in the main, confirmed by the successful deciphering of quantitative data provided by optical spectra, photon theory, to be viable and complete, should account for the quantitative relationship between h, c and e, which collectively define α, the dimensionless fine-structure constant.
