Is light particles or waves?

inb4 I'm a computer simulation to test the most effective way to finger a bum.

m8, the entirety of reality is one big probability wave simulator and the present time is just when the wave function collapses

It travels as a wave and arrives as a particle.

Fuck me, we have a winner.

>Muh phonons

They are particles that have a pilot wave guiding them giving them wave like properties.

You deserve a blowjob.

light has mass

little creepy..

so spacetime has mass too?

the pores on that woman are quite clogged, i would recommend her to use an exfoliate for sure.

what about light?

EXPLAIN EXPLAIN

Light doesn't have mass it just has momentum. E^2=p^2*c^2+m^2*c^4

Nope, it acts as if it has mass due to the subsiquential effect of EMR, which happens to be known as gravity. so whilst in contact with a body emmiting EMR at a closer distance to its source it will act as if it has a mass proportional to the distance from its source and inversely prepotional to the distance of source of EMR of the second body, this allows photons to act whilst under a foreign 'gravitational force' as if they have mass.
So basically they are effected by gravitations that are not their source, producing an effect similar to mass

It behaves as both but is neither. It is energy. The way i think of it, is electron shells of near (relatively speaking) atoms naturally attempting to synchronize. The more energetic waves influence less energetic ones. This is an oversimplification, but you should get the picture.

someone please answer this. to say that light bends because of gravity suggests that it has mass. yet it doesnt have mass. so therefor it must be following a spacetime warping vector and not falling... err wait isnt falling just following a warped spacetime vector

im so fucking confused

it has mass, scientists are just being huge pussies.

>energy
>mass

I thought the pilot wave theory was disproven?

Wrong

The whole point of GR is that all bodies fall at the same rate in a gravitation field not because of some weird coincidence of gravitational and inertial mass being equal, but because they all experience the same curvature of spacetime. Light is included in that.

If you were to stand on an infinite plane with a constant downward gravitational acceleration (and no air resistance), and you dropped a ball at the same time as turning on a laser parallel to the ground, both the ball and the laser would hit the ground at the exact same instant.

WAVETICLES

Light is wavy particles

idiocy is idiocy. idiots are idiotic.

Is OP autistics or retards?

light is made up of photons, which are bundles of waves

make this a thing

Gravity bends spacetime which will affect light travelling through it

define 'particles'

Yes

Its a multi-dimensional superfluid.

it has an energy-mass equiv.

staright up saying "light has mass" sounds fucking retarded

Photons phase shift between dimensions thus giving the illusion of behaving in a wave motion.

Strings

i think your delving into unknown areas of physics. essentially though and this is not a good exp. light does follow the spacetime vector and things that fall also fall along a spacetime vector but here is where the physics is fundamentally lacking unless anyone can answer. Things that fall, or free fall, actually have no forces acting upon them at all and are actually not moving. Gravity is an illusion that muddles up things in high level physics.

tl;dr things that are 'falling' (freefall) arent actually even fucking moving

im a phd student and i dont really understand the details of it but thats a start

Wait. What if photons are joined through string theory to a companion light particle. Thus as one particle enters our universe the other exits. The motion of the light particles in orbit around each other would explain the wave properties.

this may also be relevant.... particles that move along the spacetime vector (in free fall*?) are actually intertial and don't move relative to eachother.

fields

Particles and waves are stories of stories you see in your representation of things that are an accumulation of the tiny thing you want to behave like the story of a particle or a wave.

It is neither. It is its own narrative object and does not have to inherit any stories of other things just because you can't make up a story for it by itself.

wave theory for idiots

Pilot wave theory is supported by the current experimental evidence to the same extent as the other interpretations.

experimental - evidence

extent as other interpretations - not even proven. and the original question is ignored to spew this shit. nope.

Space what now?
Space does not bend nor is time a part of it.
Now every body/particle radiates EMR essentially the greater mass/accumulation of radiating particles will lead to a greater field of EMR.(large dense objects will emit have a relitivly larger field of EMR.) Light being a spectrum of EMR observable to us acts tends to act predominantly with other bodies of EMR and not so much the physical mass of that body. Gravity is the force produced by EMR so it effects a 'photon of EMR' proportional to its source strength and distance from its source and the relative strength of the intersected field of EMR.
The measurable effect of time is the difference created by intersecting waves of EMR(universe isn't expanding, new waveforms are getting shorter )
And space acts as more of a liquid than an elastic fabric. As most would have you believe.
Long story short, its a wave it is effected by gravity because gravity is a wave. Not a space bender.

How long does it take for a ball (or laser) to hit the ground when dropped into an infinite plane with a constant downward gravitational acceleration?
