Issues of light

Hmmm. Some people believe that the universe was an unfortunate by-product of a strange experiment. What's your opinion on whether or not God has a tail?

I certainly know that God has no tail.

I disagree. I believe that God has many tails. What about beards?[This message has been edited by Gzus, 03-26-2003]

How are your 'what if's any better than pure speculation?

Common sense discussions about light seem really common stupidity discussions. Every honest scientist would tell you both quantum theories on light and relativistic ones defy commnon (i.e., Newtonian) sense on the subject.

Newtonian physics is taught mainly in highschool and makes no real attempt at an explanation of light. I think you'll find, if you study a bit further, that it gets a wee bit more complicated and weird than the classical 19th century view of physics. I doubt that any 'common sense discussion' would result in any real understanding of light, the ideas are quite complex. Perhaps you should study a bit further.

Are you trying to say that our present inability to develop a complete understanding of light means that light therefore has some supernatural secret? Sounds a bit loopy to me.

You still haven't told me why our inability to [presently] understand light completely, necessarily means that it is in any way supernatural. Your argument just doesn't follow logically.Would you have said the same thing of particle physics in the 19th Century?
