Photons-Perspective on analysis.

Featured Replies

Photons are only a model created to fill our incomprehension. We do not know what light actually is. We create models based on our analysis. And analysis on light showed us something we cant really understand so we called it photons. Dont be a fool, create new models come on.

You are projecting here.  Just because you don't understand, it does not mean everyone does not understand.

Scientific models describe behaviour, not ontology, which is an area of philosophy. You are barking up the wrong tree.

How is this news? Should be in speculations or trash.

Welcome to physics. Everything we do involves a model, as we try to understand how nature behaves.And we have a pretty decent handle on how light behaves.

Knowing what something “actually is” is in the realm of philosophy (it’s metaphysics). 

What is wrong with current model? If you have some objections, please share them..
