Here's a video for Bogie; almost looks likes two arenas clashing:
The song is a part of "Religion and Science", a lessor known piece from 'Angels & Demons' that is slow moving, with majesty.
And for Penz2nz we have the future of space travel since he is from Goddard Space Center:
"They say" I love that phrase. "They" call it white light but I have never seen a beam of white enter one side of a prism. It has always been transparent (invisible) to my eyes. Based on how the prism is placed I deduce that radiating energy from the sun reaches one side and spreads out through the glass. As it spreads, each angle of deflection reacts to that energy by interacting with the orbiting electrons of the atoms along each visible color path and the prism acts like a multicolored flashlight reflecting off whatever surface is used to reflect those colors. You don't see those colors in the air, only reflected on another surface. You can actually experience this phenomenon by viewing the tips of dew covered grass on a bright early morning. If you isolate one tiny glint of color with you eyes and then mover your head ever so slightly from side to side you can view all the colors of the rainbow in a single droplet at the tip of a single blade of grass. All of those colors are in the space that envelopes that tiny droplet and the surface couture relative to your eye position dictates which color is revealed.
The electrons in the surface atoms of the feather orbit in and out of the light at a constant wave rate revealing the color "in the light" and space which are both resting against that atom. The feather does not absorb the color, it excites the resting light at that wavelength.
Good luck with that. I have already departed from many of those points. (Grin)
Rethinking our understanding of "invisible" light is what is needed here. The "accepted science" is the problem not the solution.
My question would then be: What gives it it's particle characteristics. But I don't have that problem because I view light as a "stable field" through which radiating energy passes.

Why thank you Austintorn.
But that should read "Kingdom of Goddard Space Center"
And in shameless reciprocation let me offer:

That is an interesting way to look at it. You are saying that the light is already there in the space between the feather and our eye, and that the sub atomic frequency of the surface of the feather excites the light in the intervening space? If so, then would you say that the speed of light is the rate at which the light medium (UM) transfers the feather's frequency to our eye? Is that called the "speed" of radiating energy through the light field? Is it the same as what we call and measure as the speed of light?
Oh, me too, lol.Good luck with that. I have already departed from many of those points. (Grin)Good thing they've got us to sort it out for themRethinking our understanding of "invisible" light is what is needed here. The "accepted science" is the problem not the solution..
Nature of light in QWC:
My question would then be: What gives it it's particle characteristics. But I don't have that problem because I view light as a "stable field" through which radiating energy passes.
The dot of light or point of light that we record on photo plates, or CCD's, or our eyes makes for the conclusion of the particle nature of light. All sensing devices including our eyes are seeing a cross section of all the light. At any given instant that cross section encompasses billions of photons which are waves. The first part of a wave to hit the retina intersects at a point, the point of detection.
The photon is not just that point of detection, it is the curved surface of a spherical wave passing us (from the radiating source). The in-phase photon is the whole spherical surface of the advancing individual burst of photon energy, but we don't see light "in-phase", we see it at a point along the line of sight as a ray of light. The Ray is the "in-phase" point in the line of sight on sequential curved plane waves. Thus the photon is a spherical wave of photon energy and ray of light at the point of detection gives the illusion of a particle, each "particle" being a point on each spherical plane wave as the curved in-phase surfaces pass the point of detection. Light traversing the UM is in the form of waves.
Multiple viewers who are seeing the "same view" are really seeing the same photon waves from different lines of sight. There is a slight time delay between viewers due to the "speed" of radiating energy through the light field (UM).
Light energy also can be transferred as thermal radiation which is akin to biophotonic radiation discussed in this post from another thread which adds some interesting insight. Popp say that biophotonic emission is a perfect communication system that transfers information to many cells across the body and to other bodies.

Hi Bogie…I found this research the other day and thought you might be interested concerning the two categories of interaction of EM waves with biological matter into the classifications of Thermal and Non-thermal…
DNA RESONANCE (123)--VIBRATIONAL
Biophysicists have demonstrated in their experiments that DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)--the molecular code for life resonantly absorbs electromagnetic energy in the microwave range of the frequency spectrum.
These biophysicists classify the interaction of electromagnetic waves with biological matter into two categories: thermal and non-thermal. They have found in their experiments that microwaves in the 300 MEGAHERTZ(millions of cycles per second) to 3 GIGAHERTZ(billions of cycles per second) range of frequencies in the electromagnetic spectrum can be thermally absorbed by causing a dipolar molecule, such as water to oscillate in a frictional media, thereby dissipating the energy in the form of heat.
Nonthermal absorption of electromagnetic energy is reported to be far more obscure and controversial since it is thought to occur at relatively low levels of power (amplitude).
It has been demonstrated in some experiments among biophysicists that DNA molecules can non-thermally absorb energy from microwaves partially because the DNA chains exhibit a phenomenon known as RESONANCE. All physical systems biological or otherwise have some sort of natural resonance at certain frequencies (resonant frequency). For instance a violin string has a natural resonant frequency that is directly related to its length, mass (thickness), and its tension. If plucked and left alone the violin string will quite readily vibrate that frequency until the energy it has acquired has been completely dissipated back out of the string. If the string is forced to vibrate at another frequency it will do so but without much enthusiasm. However when the driving frequency approaches the resonant frequency of the string the amplitude of the strings vibrations will increase manyfold and the string will resonate in harmony with the driving force.
The researchers in one particular experiment found that microwaves of around 3 gigahertz could resonantly drive a longitudinal vibration mode in DNA chains by electrically coupling with ions residing on the backbone of the DNA helix.
In regards to energy absorption of the DNA molecule as opposed to the solution that was used in some of these experiments researchers found(in one particular experiment) An absorption coefficient that was 400 times greater than the solvent alone at 11 gigahertz, when using a solution that contained a mixture of DNA chain lengths.
RESONANCE.
When a force is applied repeatedly at the natural frequency of any system large amplitude oscillations result. This is the phenomenon known in physics as RESONANCE.
When a vibrating system is pushed or driven at the natural frequency of that system--RESONANCE occurs.

If I see a train coming and your on the track...if I don't tell you, it will be a pity for you and a shame on me....

Yes and no.
Yes the light is already there. We need to come to understand that light, like space, is a stable condition or field. All matter can be viewed as traveling through this field of "light-space" and that field can be mapped with a simple x, y, z three dimensional grid.
No to the issue of speed. Sir Roger Penrose desires a cosmological constant of "zero" and here he has it. Space and light are not in motion. We see through both. A distant star is visible instantaneously to our eye because we are not seeing light energy emitting from that star. We are looking THROUGH space and light. We are seeing the surface of the star through space. We don't have to wait for space to transmit what we see and we don't have to wait for light to transmit what we are seeing because they both allow us to see through them. Light and space are transparent. What we are seeing is "color" at the object's surface. Instantaneously. The frequency of any visible color does not have to travel from the surface of the object to our eyes. Imagine space and light as a window that allows you to see what is beyond. The transverse waves created in the light at the surface of the object do not have to leave the object for us to detect the color. So the speed of light is zero. As is the speed of space.

What do we see when we "see" our reflection in a mirror?
