A photon, according to Quantum Field Theory (QFT), is kind of an excitation of the electromagnetic field. This field resides in Space and follows its topology. This excitation is considered point-like and structureless, whereas in some books - a wavepacket. No one, however, modeled this wavepacket in such a way that enables us to relate to it as a stable particle. On the other hand, in our recent paper titled “The Double Slit Experiment Enigma – Resolved” we show that the photon is not a wave. So, what is it? We contend that the Photon is a Space Lattice excitation. This idea enables us to model the photon and its ground-state photon. For abbreviation of the long expression Ground-State Photon we have invented the name Photom, which will be used from now on. This idea, that the photon and the photom are Space Lattice excitations, explains their electromagnetic nature. This understanding reveals the essence of the Zero-Point Fluctuations, Space Polarization and that of Dirac Sea.
