light relief

In the 18th century Isaac Newton defined light as a series of particles that excite the eye.
More recently scientists have claimed light is a wave.
Right now, current scientific theory asserts that light has simultaneously the properties of a wave and a particle. There is an additional current assertion by the scientific community that if light is unobserved it behaves differently to how it behaves if it is observed.
The definition does not seem very definitive.
I have suggested that light seems to have apparently contradictory properties because it is composed of several different elements present together at the same time in the same space.
Light is not one thing with contradictory properties but three distinct things sharing a moment.
In this consideration:
1. Light is an emanating energy, the wave form which when activated is instantly present (unless blocked) to the end of the universe.
2. Light is the effect of the emanating energy on a medium. The implication is either that we are surrounded by an energy field that acts as a medium for light or that space itself is a medium. If space is a medium, we might say space is something rather than nothing. Hence space can have particular characteristics. (Possessing characteristics of particles in response to the presence of an emanating energy.) The effect of emanating light energy on the medium is what gives light its appearance of particle form. A light shining from A to B creates a particle effect at point A and B and at all points in between. But nothing has travelled. No particle has travelled. The medium was already there. The medium's response to the emanating energy wave is like the response of the surface of a pond when a stone is dropped into it. The water surface takes the form of the wave. At every point on the surface of the water there is a particle of water matching the wave. But no particle of water travels from the emanating energy centre where the stone was dropped to the edge of the pond.
3. Light is a human consciousness experiencing the emanating energy and the medium's response to it.
These three necessary elements for light are distinct things not one thing with contradictory properties.
Without all three, there is no light.
We might also aver that light has no speed.
Nothing travels when light happens.
The particle that appears to travel is just the medium reacting instantaneously at every point through which the emanating light energy instantaneously passes.
A particle hasn't travelled.
The medium (whether space or an energy field) has manifested for any observer the properties of a particle simultaneously along the entire path of the instantly displaced emanating energy.
The semblance of speed, and the dysfunctional notion of a speed of light, is possible when the emanating energy is partially impeded in the medium, as it always is. (By dust motes, a wall, a planet, by wave affecting fluxes or by any intrusion or presence that can alter physically the performance of an emanating light energy.)
The notion of a speed of light is also an offshoot of our human limitations rather than a description of reality.
Conventional scientists have tended to find it difficult to imagine anything can happen instantaneously or to conceive how it might do so.
In taking any measurement we ourselves require time.
Our mental requirement for time to measure any occurrence we conceive of, and the time we or our instruments require to take such a measurement no matter how quick our reflexes or fine the instrumentation, are factors which in certain circumstances compound the myth of light having a speed.
The speed of light such as it has been ascribed is an erroneous depiction of what is correctly described as an instantaneous effect.
The speed of light has no meaning.
