SUMMARY

This discussion centers on the exploration of the concept that light may be static, with a focus on its implications for atomic formation and the fundamental forces of nature. The inquiry highlights the relationship between electromagnetic waves and atomic structure, suggesting that if light were stationary, atomic formation would be impossible, leading to a universe composed solely of energy. The discussion invites insights into existing research or theories that address this unconventional perspective on light.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of electromagnetic waves and their role in atomic structure
  • Familiarity with the principles of quantum mechanics
  • Knowledge of the unification of fundamental forces (strong, weak, electromagnetic)
  • Awareness of historical and contemporary theories regarding the nature of light
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of stationary light on atomic theory
  • Explore historical theories on the nature of light, such as Newtonian and wave theories
  • Investigate current scientific literature on light's properties and behavior
  • Examine the unification of forces in modern physics and its relation to light
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, researchers in quantum mechanics, and anyone interested in the foundational theories of light and its implications for the universe.

I am looking for authors who have explored the idea that light may be still or static. Does anybody know of research in that direction, whether proven wrong or not?

Thank you!

Kep in mind electromagnetic waves, light, "connect" electrons with nuclei..so if light is stationary there could be no atoms formed..hence nothing we see around us...all would be energy...and since the strong/weak/and electromagnetic forces have been unified, they'd be kaput as well I think..
