I don't call it anything except light. We do not claim that light brings anything at all, remember?
If you accept the properties of light as observed and measured, you must accept that light travels until and unless it is absorbed and transformed into some other kind of energy. Do you accept this? |
No I don't accept this because it's misleading. It is a fact that energy is absorbed, but when you say that the remaining energy is transformed, I have no idea what you mean. All that remains is non-absorbed light. Nothing is transformed. |
Are you shitting me? I did not say the remaining energy is transformed I said the absorbed energy is transformed.
You said you understood the basic laws and properties of light energy. When light is absorbed by matter, it is transformed to some other kind of energy like heat.
Energy conversion is part of the laws of thermodynamics. Light that is absorbed and transformed ceases to be light.
Light that is not absorbed remains light and retains all the properties of light...meaning it travels.
My statement was that light travels
until or unless it is absorbed/transformed.
Now, do you accept this?
