Photon or Wave Transmission of Light?

Photons are discrete energy points on electromagnetic waves that are
carried through and by a medium that permeates space and gaseous,
liquid and solid matter.

Well, that's certainly not the photon I know.

The medium is the ether, an elastic solid.
Photons cannot exist without carrier waves.

Who says?

Waves cannot exist without
a medium.

Who says?

Fresnel and Arago demonstrated that these waves are
transverse waves vibrating at right angles to each other.

The wave property of the wave-photon duality accounts for:
Light colour (= wavelength)
Interference (Young’s double slit experiment)
Free intersection of light from different sources
Partial transmission and reflection at the boundary between different
materials (air, water, glass etc)
Polarisation
Distance decrease of illumination (Inverse Square Law)
Reflection
Refraction (Ratio of speed of light in air/water of 1.33 by Michelson
1883 agrees with refractive index of water of 1.33)
Dispersion (due to colour of light ie its wavelength, seen in
rainbows)
Diffraction (Grimaldi 1665, Huygens: Waves travel around corners of
objects)
Doppler Effect (Observed wave FREQUENCY depends on motion of source
and observer)
Radio wave transmission by amplitude and frequency modulation
Photon energy (E=hc/wavelength)

The photon property of the wave-photon duality accounts for:
Aberration
Propagation of light in straight lines

The wave theory accounts for this as well. As far back as Huygens,
centuries ago.

Sharp shadows
Reflection (if elastic collision)

Wave theory accounts for this as well.

Distance decrease of illumination (Inverse Square Law)

Wave theory accounts for this as well.

Light pressure

Wave theory accounts for this as well.

Heating due to light absorption

Wave theory accounts for this as well.

Photoelectric effect

Ah! At last something that a particle description is needed for!
(There are a few others that you've missed: Compton effect, etc.)


The ether was abolished by the Michelson-Morley Experiment (MMX) in
1887. However, MMX and similar experiments, while correctly showing
null results, are nevertheless based on incorrect assumptions and
premises.

What premises or assumptions do you think the MMX is based on?

It is necessary to re-examine MMX and to liberate science
from the bizarre theories of the last 115 years.

What's bizarre about those theories?
