When we look into the night sky, we have been lead to believe that what we are seeing or what is entering our eyes, is something that left that star many years earlier. This would mean that light would have to be an object propagated from the star and traveling through space until it enters our visual senses or one of many scientific instruments. This may indeed be a plausible concept if it were not for Relativity indicating that space itself has physical properties. If space has physical properties, then space is a physical entity medium and thus light is the vibrations of that substance and not a particle of light or photon. For some unknown reason, scientist of the early twentieth century who proposed this concept, were ignored or unable to provide a functional concept for the medium; thus, complexity, confusion, and chaos has plagued science for over a century.
Electromagnetic radiation is considered to be transverse waves that travel without the need of a medium. In reality there is a medium of unstructured matter that varies its spatial density and produces waves much like the longitudinal compression waves of air molecules that produce sound waves of different air densities. This would mean that the electromagnetic waves are not truly transverse. Only the electrical properties produced by the changing spatial densities are transverse in their nature.
