  1. im getting a good grasp on the properties of light. the majority of my confusion lies in what the electromagnetic field is actually made of.? i guess what im asking is, what is the fundamental make up of an electromagnetic field?
  2. Hello all. im here to build my knowledge as i feel learning should never end. at least until you know everything. (and im getting so close. kidding)
  3. im trying to learn what light is but it seems that im a phd or two shy of being able to understand what i read when i try to learn on my own. heres what im trying to learn. i want to know what light actually is. as in, what is it made of? from what i have researched so far i gather that we have a strong grasp on the concept of light but we dont know what light is fundamentally. i think light travels through a vacuum much like a particle would but light isnt a particle, its a wave. if its a wave, what medium is the wave travelling through? does light have the same makeup as a magnetic field? if it does, what the hell is a magnetic field? hehe ok, i have so many little tid bits of info, some laws and some theoretical bouncing around in my head but i cant put them together for a full understanding. can someone please help me in the most simple im an idiot way?
