Einstein, photons, light, wave theory and particle theory intrigued me. Something funny though I thought, why should wave and particle theories have to co-exist to explain the characteristics of light? If there is an universal theory as Einstein has envisioned, shouldn't there be just one theory that explains light itself?
Is there such a unified theory for light now? I don't know. But if there still isn't, here are my ideas:
Particle theory should hypothetically able to encompass all of light's characteristics. Photons are particles with mass, however negligible. Due to their free running nature, unlike electrons, and with such a small mass, enables them to travel in what we now refer to as light-speed. All particles have a natural frequency, and this determines the radioactivity of the photon itself. It vibrates as it travels through space, and coupled with the tremendous velocity, emits electric and magnetic fields, which we now know as EM waves.
All right... then what this there within this freak idea that can explain how light penetrates transparent matter but not opaque ones? What about reflection?... Got to think more. Thinking since 1 decade ago...
