Question Is Light an Illusion?

[Classical Motion]

Is light an illusion?

Proposition: Let’s take the visible spectrum, say 400 to 800 nanometers. 800 nanometers is ~ 375 THz. 400 nanometers is ~ 750 THz. Our sun has a frequency spectrum all thru this range. It’s continuous. Full of all those frequencies. A bandwidth of 375 THz. Very wide.

Now lets take all of the periodic table isotopes and plot those emission spectrums in that range.

We will get a series of lines thru-out that spectrum. All of these isotopes ONLY emit on those lines. From billions and billions of emitters.

Isotopes do NOT emit a bandwidth, they emit strict lines.

So where do all the “filler” frequencies come from? All the analog frequencies. The in between frequencies.

Supposition: I believe all those other frequencies come from superposition. Superposition gives the bandwidth. A set of false frequencies.

A deceiving flux. Space born frequencies. Space mix frequencies.

What do you think of my solution? Or is it just supposition?

Can we trust what we see?

Should we re-tune and only search for isotope frequencies? Real frequencies?

How do we separate real from false frequencies?

Or did I stay off my meds for too long?

You must include Doppler shifting from turbulence. Also, the Zeeman effect which splits lines, the amount dependent on local magnetic field strength, also Stark effect which splits lines per the electric field. The result is all lines are spread, the spectrum ends up continuous, there are no blank areas. Some areas are much brighter but no area is dark.

And so all those frequencies are emitted frequencies? From quantum emissions? Alrighty. I always wondered why we had a band from the sun. I just always assumed that quantum structures were all that were on the sun. And therefore quantum emissions.

I could see where momentary unbonded charge alignment could jerk or flip and give any wavelength.

Those studies are based on circuit waveforms. Maxwell waveforms. Circuits waves and propagations have different superposition additives. Different combinations.

Circuits have handedness which effects the combinations. Emission have handedness, but it doesn’t effect the superposition like circuit waves do.

In a circuit wave an out of phase addition result is no signal. A zero. No wave at all.

But in a space wave, you will measure zero, but both waves are still there…...and will continue un-interupted after passage. I think light superposition is just time and location superposition, not interacting field superposition. Measurement would be comparing, not addition. A true addition would effect future travel.

You can stop, kill, and disappear a circuit wave and a sound wave with superposition.

But only the measurement of a light propagation. Not the propagation itself. Both signals are still there. One can not turn off a light with another light. But a circuit wave can be killed and canceled.

And besides that, light is not a waveform. It’s a wave packet. It may or may not alternate. Whether it alternates or not, the effect on matter is the same. Because it’s a packet.

It functions as a bell clapper on and with matter. Ding ding ding. The the bell(matter) rings. Rings in waves. In a tone. The tone slowly dies. The tone has inertia. Waves have inertia.

That tone inhibits you from seeing the actual change in the packet. It distorts the change in clapper rate.

Resulting in a false ring, for the true clapper rate. Another error in measurement. Detector superposition. Wave superposition. Cutting and adding real length.

I think I’ll stick with superposition for that large detected bandwidth.

Of course this is all just spit-balling. Anyone taking classes should not study/heed this.

There are sun specialist on here, maybe they have a clear idea of that bandwidth. I didn’t realize such bandwidth was explained from the quantum world.

My work and experience has been at only one quantum level, room temp plasma, current.

Hi. You said, "And besides that, light is not a waveform. It’s a wave packet."
I've never heard 'packet' used in reference to light; usually it is a photon, a singular photon with no connection to anything other than its source at the time of emission. Packet implies, as in network lingo, to a discrete set of digital codes, being transmitted together over the Internet.
Would you expand of "packets"?

 

[Classical Motion]

Pardon the confusion. A packet of field. EM field.

A very short shine.

Sun/star light is a balanced electro magnetic area [field x,y ] of spinning magnoflux inertia which is being attracted forward by a voltage in z direction.
This 3D volume or packet of energy can move through space without loss but if the field is not exactly at right angles to the voltage a Cosine reduction in real power will occur and quantum Var's will result.
Domestic 50/60 cycle per second is low frequency light which is restricted to moving through a conductor but basically the same energy-wise.
