I was going for a simpler idea: Light is photons, electricity is moving electrons. And yeah, if you're talking about electromagnetic fields we're back to photons again. It just struck me as a sentence that was very misleading to lay people.
- marshray 7y agoIt's only simpler because "electricity is moving electrons" is not a meaningful claim. What is the physical unit of 'electricity'? There's not one, because it's not a thing.
