I know that photons are theorized to exist as an elementary particle in the standard model, and that they're integral in how we perceive light. Apparnetly, from what I'm reading now, the Photon Theory of Light is not simply this. <br /> <br />From what I can gather offline and from cosmology books lying around my house, that theory would state that light is made up solely of particles, photons, etc., which was an assumption made by Einstein in his early papers on the Photoelectric Effect, and also based on Newton's early particle theories of light, somewhat. <br /><br />This would not be the case as reality is currently understood. <br /><br />We've now moved on to the notion that light has a dual nature of a wave and particle, which Quantum Electrodynamics explains in a way I do not have the necessary background to understand in any sort of depth. This would definintly not be the photon theory of light. <br /><br />So, now I completely understand your intitial reaction. I will abstrain from all further discussions on physics of any modern sort. <br />On the plus side, this whole conversation did redefine the limit of f(thread) = Tan(O'Donnell - evolution).Jarednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11361428.post-15045063622199466092010-09-30T18:40:06.944-04:002010-09-30T18:40:06.944-04:00Wait, you actually believe in the photon theory of...Wait, you actually believe in the photon theory of light?PCShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06511235108185393380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11361428.post-27479025383005603182010-09-30T16:32:47.613-04:002010-09-30T16:32:47.613-04:00@PCS, it was a joke.

I tried to pick a pretty well-accepted truth that wasn't gravity or cell theory, which have been used over and over again as an analogy. <br />Take heart, not only have I never believed in creationism, but I've never seen any decent evidence that caused me to question evolution.Jarednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11361428.post-12368636695289615082010-09-29T18:54:58.768-04:002010-09-29T18:54:58.768-04:00Jared, I'm sorry your science teachers have fa...Jared, I'm sorry your science teachers have failed you. Evolution is basically a change in gene frequency. I guess meiosis and sex is not a fact either. But, I really am interested in your alternative facts about evolution.
