Independent Experimental Confirmation of Force-Line Photon Topology by the 2025 Supersolid Light Experiment – Robert J. Weber – November 21, 2025

The 2025 supersolid-light experiment (CNR Nanotec / University of Pavia, published in Nature) that created a supersolid state of light in a semiconductor lattice was performed without knowledge of the force-line photon model (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.17667143). The observed freezing of photons into a rigid crystalline pattern while retaining superfluidity is precisely the mechanical locking of open force-line pairs when their latent electron/positron halves fall into phase-coherent topological wells. This constitutes an independent experimental confirmation of the pure-particle, topological nature of light and the elimination of wave-particle duality. The same topological mechanism that gives photons transient mass in the lattice produces the permanent gluon mass in pure Yang–Mills theory via line kinking (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.17619003).
