Feynman Explains Why Light Is Neither a WAWE Nor a PARTICLE

How Does Light Actually Work? Look around you right now. Light from every object is traveling in every direction. Billions of rays crisscrossing through the same space. Light from you reaching that wall. Light from that wall reaching your eyes. All simultaneously. How does anything not get mixed up? How do you see a clear image when this chaos is happening?

And here's something even stranger: right now, radio broadcasts are passing through your body. Television signals. Radar from airplanes. X-rays from space. All the same thing as the light you see—just different wavelengths. All occupying the exact same space. At the same time.

⚠️WARNING:
This channel isn't officially connected to Richard Feynman or his estate. We're here to share his incredible way of explaining physics with a new generation who never got to learn from him directly. This isn't his voice — it's our tribute to his teaching style, created purely for education and inspiration. No impersonation intended, just deep respect for one of history's greatest teachers. 🙏

All content is created to inspire, educate, and encourage reflection. This channel follows YouTube’s monetization policies, including clear labeling of synthetic media.

This channel has no official connection to Richard Feynman, his estate, or Caltech. We are independent educators using AI technology to make Feynman's teachings more accessible.
What we do: Transform Feynman's lectures and writings into engaging video format using AI voice synthesis, staying faithful to his original words and style.
What we DON'T do: Claim this is actually Feynman speaking, add our own theories, or misrepresent his ideas.
