[@matthewc5640]

What's really mind-blowing is that from the perspective of a photon, it hits its target of absorption or the universe ends as soon as it's created, since it doesn't "experience" the passage of time

[@krupt5995]

Exactly. Not to mention that the universe is flattened into a single plain perpendicular to it's velocity which is weird if we consider the universe to be infinite. From it's prespective it measures it self to be moving at a speed of c NOT 0! Also, everything else for that photon is going to move at the opposite direction in the speed of light. Even objects with mass, meaning that they are going to have infinite kinetic energy. It truly buffles me to think how would it be like if we could run at the speed of light relative to the earth for example.

[@TheSnoeedog]

the photon doesn't "experience" anything. While I recognize you're using the term more metaphorically, the fact is that, as far as we can tell, to experience anything requires a minimum infrastructure. That infrastructure couldn't operate coherently at the speed of light.

When you think about it , we never see things immediately , there is always postponement that depends on how much time needed for the light to touch the surface of the thing and then reflect towards your eyes , but we don't feel this postponement because the time needed is just too short for our kind to notice it , however the longer the distance is the more noticeable it becomes , take for example the dead stars that are hundreds of millions light years away from us but we are still witnessing the light that is still travelling through the universe carrying the star's image . It's like watching a livestream of match through an extremely slow internet , you are still waiting for your favourite player to make his move while the match in reality ended 10 minutes ago

[@BillAnt]

Nothing is truly live in the Universe, even a meter away from your screen, the light has a small delay followed by the perception of your brain... in a nutshell, like a sports announcer says "Play the video tape!" At 3:36 is what keeps me up at night thinking about why constant "c" is what it is throughout the Universe, and why not some other arbitrary number. Hmmm....

[@charcinogeneticist]

Light is electromagnetic radiation that can be detected by the human eye. Electromagnetic radiation occurs over an extremely wide range of wavelengths, from gamma rays with wavelengths less than about 1 × 10−11 metres to radio waves measured in metres.

[@medexamtoolscom]

Well fyi in actual practice you don't see anything hundreds of millions of light years away when you look out into the night sky, you would need a serious telescope to see any of that stuff, the stars you see are mostly pretty close. There are a few very bright ones that are thousands of light years away like eta carinae though, and you may be able to faintly see the andromeda galaxy but that's as far as you can see without serious help.

Finally I got my answer 8yrs back when I asked this question

[@HeavyRayne]

What did he mean when he said that the photon's wave-particle duality is a lie?

[@AnaseSkyrider]

+HeavyRayne I think he was referring to the images and depictions of it.

[@ProfessorEGadd]

+HeavyRayne Possibly he means that both waves and particles are lies - both exhibit wave-particle duality, so they are both the same thing. Picking out photons as examples of w-p duality is therefore unfair, because everything could be example.

[@alexandrugheorghe5610]

+HeavyRayne I have the same feeling. They exposed it incorrectly and most probably they meant what @ProfessorEGadd is hinting at. Anyways, any fundamental particle does exhibit wave-like particle duality it's just that when we look at one the other collapses and we get the famous experiment for the double slit. Here's a better depiction actuality which corrects the script: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/transcoded/e/e4/Wave-particle_duality.ogv/Wave-particle_duality.ogv.480p.webm

[@loacc3672]

+HeavyRayne - This is consistent with Anase's comment above, but I think the lie is that light is neither particle nor wave nor both - each mathematical model (that of particles and that of waves) can say something about how light behaves, but neither can tell the whole story. It's a lie that makes quantum mechanics more accessible?

[@ProfessorEGadd]

Alexandru Gheorghe To reiterate - all particles, fundamental or not can exhibit wave-like properties under the right circumstances. The largest things that have been observed to do so are quite sizable molecules, but in theory even people or planets could do so too. I also think you are confusing wave-functions and wave-like properties. The wave-function of a particle describes it's behaviour, which may (or may not) be wave-like. It's wave-function collapses when we observe it because it goes from potentially doing anything to doing exactly one thing. One cannot speak of wave-particle duality 'collapsing'. What you mean is that sometimes it is easier to explain phenomenon AS IF the particle was either particle or a wave, but not both. In fact there is no such thing as 'wave-like behaviour' or 'particle-like behaviour', because they are the same thing. They are nothing more than useful, historical constructs with a number of convenient, familiar analogues. Sometimes, such as in electron microscopy, it is necessary to consider both the wave and particle nature of a particle simultaneously.

[@jinkim3186]

I think light behaves as the wave-particle duality, because it travels outside of our observable time frame. Due to physical limitations, observers can only observe things that have already happened. By the time they detect something, it has already happened in the past. Light, on the other hand, moves so fast that it's always at the present moment as things happen in the linear time and physical space. Basically, light will always move slightly faster than a physical observation, so it seems to exist all over the place as a wave of probabilities until it has finally been observed, at which point the light has already become a part of the past(time frame we can observe) as a particle, or an information of a fixed position of light that has been observed in this particular space-time. Looking at it that way, light perhaps exists at the borderline between matter with mass and non-matter. C, the speed of light, would most likely be the maximum frame rate of the material universe, because it exists right on the speed limit. Anything slower than light would produce mass(a fixed position in space-time which is perhaps what creates gravity), and anything faster would probably leave our linear time frame and become unobservable by direct physical means. Meaning light would appear as a wave of probabilities the moment before we detect it due to light being outside of our fixed space-time, and it would appear as a particle after we do observe it and it becomes a part of the past. But it only appears as wave-particle from our linear time perspective for both cases. It is quite possible that light exists as some other state above the C barrier, but we're only able to see it as light in the physical universe, the same way 2D beings would only be able to see flat shapes when looking at 3D beings.

*Can black holes bend the gravity waves? If not, in linear gravity waves faster than light* =)

[@TBFSJjunior]

What does the speed of light has to do with the speed of gravity waves and black holes? Light is absorbed by black holes due to their mass (kind of). I don't think gravity waves have this "kind of mass", and get bend like light does. (But I could be mistaken)

“Light is a particle and a wave, however this is a lie.” What’s this mean?

[@Astronomynatureandmusic]

Because it is not exactly a particle and not exactly a wave. No one has ever observed a single photon. Knowledge about light is only derived from measurements, theories and axioms. Although we have come very far in understanding, some behaviour of light still baffles researchers. One could say that a photon is a photon is a photon - because we do not have a real watertight definition for it such as 'this is matter' or 'this is a wave'. Everyone saying they got a single closing definition for what photons are is either playing God or being a bit too sure about themselves. :)

[@scorpiistar]

duality of light comes from youngs double slit experiment which showed that light propagates as a wave but becomes a particle when OBSERVED. this is a lie, because you do not observe LIGHT, you observe a simulation of light.....incandescence. also 'speed' of 'light' is an illusion. light does not move. an example: newtons cradle.....if you extended the balls all the way to the other side of the milky way and dropped the first ball, its energy would be transfered to the last ball on the far side of the galaxy, not at the "speed of light" but INSTANTANEOUS~LY. modern psyence is BS & these facts have been known since ancient times

Light actually doesn't travel the speed of the universe, bc it would then outpace the speed of the universe, which isn't possible. Light is slower than the expansion of the universe, which encompasses everything we know, at least for the moment.

[@keheck]

Kurzgesagt: "What does make visible light special then? Nothing!" Also Kurzgesagt: "Visible light is the only set of electromagnetic radiation that propagates well in water"

[@charcinogeneticist]

Light is electromagnetic radiation that can be detected by the human eye. Electromagnetic radiation occurs over an extremely wide range of wavelengths, from gamma rays with wavelengths less than about 1 × 10−11 metres to radio waves measured in metres.

[@Pawlicktics101]

Light is never seen. Illumination is what we perceive. Light is a disturbance in the ultimate field in which should be correctly termed ," Ether ". Light is electric by Nature. Most of the Ancients understood this. The great minds that were before us allow us to stand on there shoulders.

Honestly, information like this and information found in other videos by kurzgesagt, is the reason I'm not religious. All respect left aside, I can't deny knowledge like that for the sake of "faith". It's just primitive in my opinion. We should all strive to understand our universe correctly.

[@akdude81]

***** Actually, I find the order in the universe to sustain my belief in God. One of my physics professor (who is atheist, as most are) says it is a miracle (and he doesn't like that word) that we live in a universe that can be described with mathematics. The physics didn't invent the mathematics to describe the universe. The mathematicians figured out the math just for fun, and the physics were able to apply it later.

That fact about visible spectrum evolving based on liquid water absorption is fascinating - hadn't heard that before!

[@stewiesaidthat]

Water filtered out/consumed the energy from the UV and x-rays hitting the Earth's atmosphere. The highest frequency/wavelength in the ocean was the visible light spectrum of the EM wave. If it wasn't for water draining energy from the EM wave, would we still have developed eyes to see in the UV and X-Ray frequencies?

God here. When we do some maths with differential forms of Faraday's and Ampere's laws you'll get an equation of a wave. from this equation we get c^2=1/u*e, where u, magnetic permeability of vacuum and e, electric permeability of vacuum so, the speed of light is a square root of the product of these two constants.

[@louisuchihatm2556]

Electron moves from one energy level to the other. Uses Energy to release light. Where'd the original energy come from?

[@ofekgillon10]

Louis Krs This depends on the situation. cold objects in deep space do not emit light exactly because there is no energy in the electrons to produce light. some electrons gain energy from absorbing light (this is the power source of a lot of lasers), some get the energy from heat, and some get it from nuclear fusion (like the sun). There always needs to be an energy source that gives electrons the chance to be in an excited level from which they can fall to a lower energy level and emit light
