readily accepted that the wave theory of light had proved itself in explaining
diffraction, interference, reflection and refraction, and that it would
probably never be replaced by another theory. However, this success he pointed
out, rested on the vital fact that all these optical phenomena involved the
behaviour of light over a period of time, and any particle – like properties
would not be manifest. The situation was starkly different when it came to the virtually
‘instantaneous’ emission and absorption of light.

In this theory the wave particle duality of light is acting like the bits or zeros and ones of a computer forming a blank canvas that we can interact with turning the possible into the actual within our own reference frame! Time is an emergent property with the future coming into existence photon by photon relative to the position and actions of the atoms!
We have a process of continuous energy exchange formed by the spontaneous absorptions and emission of light. This forms a process of spherical symmetry forming and breaking with disorganizations or entropy coming out of the organization of spherical symmetry.

I am going to have to watch these videos a few times to really wrap my mind around these topics. I am fascinated by these theories, there is so much to understand and yet so much we still do not fully comprehend. Your blog is very interesting.
