Light is energy with an attitude, sometimes it has mass and behaves like a particle, othertimes it behaves like energy.

>Light is a particle. The particle does not degrade over time. Light is light. Or is it E=MC2 unless the light has travelled over a billion miles, then it E=MC?

>>Hi,
>>4 hours over 1/2 a billion years isn't a great deal of difference. Also, wouldn't half a billion years be sufficient time for the radiation to stop or significantly slow.
>>
>>>>>But in my theory, light that has traveled hundreds of millions of years acts different, and doesn't fit on the same EM spectrum as fresh locally emitted light.

>>>>>It suggests that frequency can drop in really old light, and the wavelength does NOT go up.
