Default What is Light?

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.

OK Sanny, here's the inside scoop:
Light comes from a tube.
The tube contains storage devices called batteries.
They in turn power a bulb or a few LEDs.
Now here's the critical part: There is a switch on the side.
ON means light (in Old Celtic) and OFF means no light.
It is very important not to get the two mixed up, since thinking ON means
OFF may cause a premature electron ejaculation by the batteries and then all
they want to do is lay around and smoke and drink beer.

Hope that helped you in your quest for the truth.

It's confusing only if you insist on thinking that human concepts like
"particle" and "wave" are some fundamental aspect of nature. They are
human constructs for understanding nature. Light is light--Under some
conditions it has wave properties; under others particle properties.

See, there's your problem. Passing out. Maybe if you'd have just
stayed awake, you would know.

Explain how photons can even exist/coexist w/o the strong force or
perhaps the dark force gravitons (aka matter).

Light is a EM wave propagating through the Indefinable Energy Form
of the Quantum State (Aether,Zero Point Energy,Space/Time), Which
is the left over Indefinable Energy Form that was the Indefinable Unified
Energy Form that was the Indefinable Unified Energy Form of BB fame,
the Quantum Point (Singularity, Chaos Point, Energy Quanta) and perceived
to be a Little Ball of Stuff due to Intrinsic Bias of the observer, any
device
designed to observe and the "Light" being observed when observed at
a short enough time frame.

But I could be Wrong....
