Massless
Particle
We are told that light is pure energy and
massless however we are told it is a particle (which infers mass). The term “packet” is used to
diffuse the inference of mass somewhat I suppose. The photoelectric effect shows
an example of the transference of energy but the Compton Effect shows an actual mechanical
interaction where "Photons" mechanically interact with electrons
much like billiard balls. This is shown by the incident angles
produced in the effect. A force is required to
accelerate the electron out of orbit. If F=
MA then
we've got a problem. How can energy be mechanically applied to electrons if
the “particle” has 0 mass? A massless particle would not
be subject to inertia and would instantly stop and transfer no
energy upon striking a particle with mass. We have only the generic
explanation that energy is mechanically applying the energy. The problem lies
in the thought that energy is a thing all
by itself. If ever present "Aether Particles" are substituted for photons the problem disapears.
Wave with no
Medium
Using a little logic and perhaps a touch of
Occam ’s Razor we have to ask why would an EM signal behave exactly
like mechanical compressions waves yet there be no medium? Why would
the particles travel in a wave at all? One of the things normal
humans do with logic is compare an assumption with
all the other known quantities of the universe, yet here we have ignored occam’s razor
and what we know about absolutely everything else in the universe and
opted for the magical/spiritual explanation without actually having experimental data to validate the
more complex answer over the simpler answer. (Shown in the “Experiments” section)
The fact that light also has longitudinal and transversal waves like in
a solid could be easily explained by an Aether with properties similar
to liquid crystal. The only reason this was not
thought of during the original time of debate was
because there was no general knowledge or experience with liquid
crystal.
