In the standard model, electron-positron annihilation produces two 0.511 MeV photons, which travel at the speed of light in vacuum (c). In the MARIAS model, where photons have a real mass and the speed of light is not constant, annihilation could have different effects.

1. Modification of the Energy Equation of Emitted Photons

In the standard model:
e⁻ + e⁺ → 2γ,   Eγ = 0.511 MeV

In the MARIAS model, if photons have mass (mγ), the energy of an emitted photon would be:

Eγ, MARIAS = sqrt(mγ² * c_local⁴ + (h * f)²)

– If photons have mass, their total energy must also include the rest mass component.
– The emitted photons would not have all their energy solely as frequency energy (hf), but part would be “stored” as their mass.

2. The Speed of Emitted Photons Would No Longer Be Constant

– In the MARIAS model, the speed of light in vacuum depends on interactions with surrounding masses.
– If photons have mass, their speed changes depending on local gravitational fields.
– This could explain certain observed phenomena, such as slight delays in gamma rays from stellar collapses.

3. Impact on the Detection of Gamma Rays in the Universe

– In the standard model, electron-positron annihilation produces 0.511 MeV gamma photons, which are detected on Earth without significant delay.
– In the MARIAS model, if photons have mass, then their speed depends on gravitational interactions, which could cause:
  – Delays in detecting gamma rays from cosmic explosions.
  – Subtle shifts in photon energy depending on the traveled distance.

This could explain discrepancies in the measurements of gamma rays from stellar collapses and cosmic explosions.

4. Possible Connection to Neutrinos

– If photons have a small mass and their speed is not always c_local, they may resemble ultra-energetic neutrinos more closely.
– Thus, electron-positron annihilation could also produce “heavy photons,” which could be mistakenly detected as ultra-energetic neutrinos.

This could explain why ultra-energetic neutrinos are detected in events where only gamma photons are expected.

5. Conclusion – How the MARIAS Model Modifies Electron-Positron Annihilation

– If photons have a real mass, their total energy must also include a mass component.
– Emitted photons would not have an absolute speed c, but a speed that varies depending on local conditions.
– This effect could explain delays in observed gamma rays from stellar explosions.
– There could be confusion between massive photons and ultra-energetic neutrinos, which would change how we interpret cosmic radiation.
