Bye Sanny Extreme Discussions at: http://www.getclub.com/Discussion.php There are alternative explanations for the presence of EM waves or particles as observed in our situation. I do not know any particulars or sources. The gist is that what we observe is a projections from stresses in putative higher dimensions (a fifth or sixth dimension?). These stresses (similar to space-time stresses producing 'gravity) manifest in space-time as EM waves. I would imagine the Maxwell equations derivable from this putative scenario. I know nothing more other than the mention did come from a respectable source. Don't remember the source, might have been from string theory literature. |

Dear Sanny:

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. We can conduct the light through a medium, and the realtionship changes. We can pass the light through different type of polatizers, and verify the angle. We can review the requirements of Maxwell's relations, and it provides their relationship. 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. Has Man ever understood Woman, or Woman Man? *There* is a complex relationship. After 12 years of my passing out of school I still want to know whats the correct description of light. You have some good answers. Light is light. What you seek to measure, is what light can become for you. Do not put faith in words... "wave" and "particle" stand for experiences and not light. David A. Smith |

Bye Sanny Extreme Discussions at:http://www.getclub.com/Discussion.php Dear Sanny: Light is basically a small cluster of ether—the stuff from which everything in the Universe is composed. Those clusters are 'like' photons. Because ether is polar, or has plus and minus 'ends', it is attracted to the high charges concentrated near any mass. Light passing close to, say, a knife edge gets deflected by the charges of the atoms in the knife. The closer the photons come to the knife edge, the greater is the angle such will be bent. The above bending seemed to say that light is a wave (sic) because water (or sound waves) can pass around objects and be detected off of the line of sight of the source from the observer. An early experiment with interference patterns used precisely spaced vertical slits. A paper target was set parallel to the foil having the slits. Because the edges of those slits bent the light off of the line of sight, the light from adjoining slits, also bent, interfered with the light from adjoining slits. The interference pattern appears similar to the ripples of crossing waves in water. So, erroneously, light was assumed to be passing through some water-like medium… Note: They were RIGHT about the ‘medium’, but WRONG about the effect the medium was having on the photons. But the botched-up 1887 M-M experiment seemed to rule out ether... Einstein got around ‘that’ dilemma by supposing that light could be either a wave or photons. But as with nearly everything Einstein supposed, he was wrong. (Brownian Motion is the lone exception —and that was actually a no-brainer.) Because ether and light are related, light gets re energized (nurtured) from the ether through which it passes. That's why light over vast distances 'usually' travels at velocity 'c'. You could think of such velocity as the tangential velocity of the smallest ether unit—that I call: IOTA. Light can travel any velocity above 'c', but such velocity will be slowed back to velocity 'c' over as yet indeterminate distances. Uniquely, light traveling faster than 'c' can keep doing so indefinitely, if the rays are confined to fixed directions and with high enough energy. In that case the photons will tunnel through the ether. If mankind wishes to locate intelligent beings, the best place to look is in the very high energy ranges of the spectrum. Huge amounts of data could be compressed to cross the Milky Way quickly. What we may think are gamma ray bursts could be high energy communications. The ‘detectors’ for such would need to be traveling beyond velocity 'c' so the data could be ‘caught’. And both sender and receiver would need to know precisely where the other was, and when, and how fast they were traveling... "relatively". Note: That is NOT a reference to any twin paradoxes, or time travel—as there are no such things! Hope this lets you think beyond the textbooks! — NoEinstein — |
