What Is Light Really Made Of?

Light is the only thing we ever see, yet it is fundamentally invisible to us. It is the messenger that constructs our reality, yet its true nature remains one of the deepest paradoxes in physics. Is it a particle? A wave? Or something far more mysterious that exists outside of time itself?
In this exploration, we journey through the history and the quantum future of light, breaking down its essence into 10 chapters:
• Part 1: The Messenger of the Void – An introduction to the invisible paradox that reveals the world.
• Part 2: The Great Schism – The historical battle between Newton’s particles and Huygens’ waves.
• Part 3: The Ghostly Ripple – Maxwell’s discovery of light as a dance of electric and magnetic fields.
• Part 4: The Quanta of Energy – Einstein’s photon and the realization that light comes in discrete packets.
• Part 5: The Paradox of the Double Slit – The quantum mystery where light "knows" it is being watched.
• Part 6: A Particle Without a Body – The strange physics of the massless photon.
• Part 7: The Frozen Clock – Why time literally stops from the perspective of a beam of light.
• Part 8: QED: The Dance of Interaction – How light acts as the fundamental glue holding your atoms together.
• Part 9: The Speed of Causality – Why $c$ is not just a speed, but the logic-limit of the universe.
• Part 10: Let There Be Light – A final reflection on why we are, fundamentally, made of "frozen light."
Join us at Still Science Lab as we peer into the brightness to find the truth hidden in the glare.
