what do you think?
I am thinking, what is the difference between a light source and a non-light source? Does light only 'travel' across a span of non-light source or is every single point ever a potential light source waiting to ignite? My point being that wherever there is light, there is its source. A light radiation is an extension of the body as is your arm to you, it is to the source.
However, I don't believe light actually travels, I believe it is a kinetic potential which is passed from point to point via energy transfer. It's not 'moving', it appears to be moving due to displacement.
Agree with selected.
Moreover. It is entirely likely that Matter doesn't exist at all.
Then... there's only energy and its fields. And , for example, electromagnetic field is not moving, it just IS.
Wiki, not a good source for science, but will do:
Quote:An Electromagnetic Field (also EMF or EM field) is a physical field produced by electrically charged objects.[1] It affects the behavior of charged objects in the vicinity of the field. The field can be viewed as the combination of an electric field and a magnetic field. The electric field is produced by stationary charges, and the magnetic field by moving charges (currents);
From a classical perspective in the history of electromagnetism, the electromagnetic field can be regarded as a smooth, continuous field, propagated in a wavelike manner; whereas from the perspective of quantum field theory, the field is seen as quantized, being composed of individual particles.
The electromagnetic field may be viewed in two distinct ways: a continuous structure or a discrete structure.
