When in School I learnt 2 things about Light


1. Light is a Wave


I was shown Lenses and other Experiments to proove Light is a wave.


2. When I grew up I was told Light is Electro Magnetic Wave.


Later I was Told
3. Magnetic and Electric Field in a light travel at 90`


Can we Change the angle of movement of Electric & Magnetic Field?

How
can we say they are perpendicular.


Later I was told Light has photons and its energy is = h*u


So light is a Particle moving at light Speed.


Then I was told Light is both Particle and Wave


Dont you feel things are getting Complex and Absurd.


After 12 years of my passing out of school I still want to know

whats
the correct description of light.

Perhaps you'll become the first to know the answer, because Einstein
didn't have a clue.


I might care to rethink of those photons we see and of all those
photons we can't see as simply slow moving gravitons, or perhaps as
somewhat quantum string like items. Of course, this still doesn't
tell us specifically as to "what is light".


Is there even any such thing as an original photon, or is each and
every available photon merely a secondary/recoil result of gravitons
interacting with other gravitons, or of gravitons interacting with
mass?


Pure energy seems to create photons, but without available gravitons
it doesn't hardly matter, does it.

I like your interpretation as much as that one provided by '"dlzc".

However, if gravity/gravitons didn't exist, neither would the quantum
string like photon. In other words, without the spin of atoms, we got
nothing.

Depends on whos Bias you follow..
