Light can be a wave or a particle, but not both at the same time.
This is because physical length can be either continuous or discrete, but not both at the same time. And this is because a random length may be regarded as being indeterminately continuous or discrete. And to understand this you must understand existential indeterminacy. That points may be regarded as being existentially indeterminate, but there is another equally valid approach which does NOT consider points to be existentially indeterminate, and that BOTH cases are equally valid. You should now know exactly what a photon is, what gravity is, dark matter, and everything else. |

When in School I learnt 2 things about Light 1. Light is a Wave Well, that's mostly because schools are always experimenting wanks. Since there's a big difference between saying light is a wave, and light ravels like a wave. I was shown Lenses and other Experiments to proove Light is a wave. If lens could prove anything, we have given the astronomy idiots even bigger telescopes than they have now, rather than microprocessors and lasers. 2. When I grew up I was told Light is Electro Magnetic Wave. Well, they always do that. Since light is an E-M wave, just like light's a flame thrower.. Idiots in Washingtoon will buy anything as the saying goes. Later I was Told 3. Magnetic and Electric Field in a light travel at 90` Well, the science cranks just do that to sell polorizers. Since the only thing travelling is wanks, and the only thing at 90' is pure covariant wanks. 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 But, since atoms have photons too, that's just the same thing as saying: if you wish hard enough, atoms will turn into light. 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. Bye Sanny Extreme Discussions at:http://www.getclub.com/Discussion.php |

Light is spirit, and only its outward renditions affect the retina.

Detecting light as a particle or a wave
depends on how coherent ( i.e. how predictable ) it is. For example, given an ideal laser showing a diffraction pattern in famous double-slit experiment: A. The frequency / energy is fully predictable; i.e. it's Fully a wave. B. You can't detect ( not even in theory ) which of the two slits it might've passed through; i.e. it's Not a particle. Semi-coherent ( i.e. semi-predictable ) light is detectable as a semi-particle, semi-wave. Randomness is ignorance; it exists only in the mind. No matter what else is or isn't known, metaphysically, we “ know ” the cosmos is fully causal. |

After 12 years of my passing out of school I still want to know whats the correct description of light. Bye Sanny 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.) I am surprised to see that "NoEinstein" like most people, has been conditioned by the mass media, and the Einstein Cult to give Einstein credit/debit for the work of other folks. The credit/debit for wave-particle duality belongs to de Broglie, not to Einstein. wave length = unit of action / momentum Although the Einstein Cult tries to credit Einstein for de Broglie's theory, and claim that he promoted de Broglie and the idea, the fact of the matter is that Einstein did not comprehend nor appreciate the enormous impact that de Broglie's work would have on physics, as Bohr and his associates, most physicists, and the Nobel Prize committee did. Note that de Broglie's theory was presented in his 1924 doctoral thesis, and he received the Nobel Prize in Physics for it in 1929, the shortest time in history. In other words, Bohr, most of the leading physicists, and the Nobel Prize Committee, **immediately** recognized the importance of de Broglie's theory, while Einstein and a few cultists persisted in fighting it, and the Quantum Mechanics" that it inspired, for many years. ( Google EPR experiment) It is also interesting to see that the Einstein Cult worked hard "Revising" history and physics, and conditioning the masses to think that the wave-particle duality theory of matter was based on Einstein's corruption of Planck's quantum of action work of 1901, for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1918. Note that although Einstein corrupted Planck's quantum of action, and has sent physics into a one hundred year cul de sac, the Einstein Cult has managed to con most people into thinking that energy, rather than action is quanta. It does not take a system engineer to comprehend that measured energy is affect by relative velocity, whereas quanta of action is NOT. As can be seen Planck clearly pointed out in his Nobel Prize lecture that ACTION was quanta. http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/p...k-lecture.html "When I look back to the time, already twenty years ago, when the concept and magnitude of the physical quantum of action began, for the first time, to unfold from the mass of experimental facts.." "The explanation of the second universal constant of the radiation law was not so easy. Because it represents the product of energy and time (according to the first calculation it was 6.55 x 10-27 erg sec), I described it as the elementary quantum of action." ( I might point out that the real unit of quanta is actually neither energy, nor action, but is the "First Radiation Constant", Action (The "Second Radiation Constant"), does not take the Hubble Effect into account.) To answer Sanny question: "What is light?" The universe is a sea of standing waves, and matter are antinodes in that sea. A so-called photon is simply an electron event that involves one quantum of action. A cause event is a rotary (Spin) event that occurs at some anti-node in the sea of standing waves, and propagated much like gear motion is propagated until it finds a standing wave that has an impedance of 377 ohms, at which point it becomes an effect and terminates. To make my point, consider that the maximum amount of action (Hence Power/energy) is transferred when the source (Cause) impedance equals the load (Effect) impedance. At the one quantum unit level, the maximum amount of action equals the minimum amount of action, ONE unit of Planck's Constant. Thus to transfer ONE unit of action from a cause anti-node to an effect anti-node, there must be a 377 ohm path between them. Otherwise you get a reflection, and no cause and no effect occurs. "Light" is the statistical expression for sets of quanta of action that can be detected by human eyes. -- Tom Potter http://www.geocities.com/tdp1001/index.html http://notsocrazyideas.blogspot.com http://groups.msn.com/PotterPhotos ** Posted from http://www.teranews.com ** |

Do you argue that probability theory is ignorance as well ? It is abuntantly obvious that random length can be characterized as being either continuous or discrete - as one may wish. Clearly, this is the only way that a wave-particle duality type of paradox could occur. Unless you really want to struggle to jam a square peg into a round hole - in which case you have the Copenhagen interpretation. Clinging to that old thing is like believing in UFO's and timetravel. |

They are not acustomed to this type of solution to a given problem. |
