Somebody posted this topic on another OT forum on another site and it quickly grew to newarly 60 repies.
Here's my explaination:
So, what do you think? What really is light? I am interested to hear your ideas.
BTW, I'm no longer in the kitchen.
Here's my explaination:
Okay everybody, listen up. Being the creatoR of the entire universe and all, I decided to let you all in on a few details. So keep your ears shut and your eyes wide open ->this is some of the 'secrets of the universe' stuff. ;-)
Light is the manifestation of a chance that is so infinetly small -but at the same time so very omnipresent- that it's actually visibly for us.
A chance of what? A chance that in a certain point in space at a certain time SOMETHING could excist, where there was nothing before (or afterwards). The difference between nothing (which is the definition space) and something (which is an amplitude that could represent light, any other form of radiation and last but not least MATTER itself) is decided by a mere chance.
In theory EVERYTHING is possible. Quantum mechanics is all about chance, location, mass and time. The position, its timeframe and the mass of an electron is never 100% certain (It's in fact decided by 'chance'), so the position of for example my arm isn't either. It could very well be de-attatched all of a sudden and reappear at neighbours' batroom (or in the worst case, not appear at all). The same thing goes with mass and time.
(*GASP*)
Light is something between the 'virtual' (a fancy word for the nothingness scientists can't figure out) and normal matter. And the reason we can see it is because light is a manifestation of chance (you are supposed to understand that sentence by now. If not, READ IT AGAIN DAMMIT!).
So THERE!
(I'm going to get myself a drink, now. If anyone wants to join me, I'm in the kitchen)
