Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to show that contrary to the conventional view of the nature of light, its behaviour is far stranger than has been considered. Here presented it is shown that time is frozen from the reference frame of a photon, that the phase velocity of light is superluminal. And also light is superluminal in the nearfield of the source of a transmitter, and that advanced waves have been detected. The principle of least action is reflected in lights behaviour in the quantum domain, and conservation laws may apply for advanced waves travailing into the past. These aspects of light, known by scientists, but presented all together show how strange the nature of light really is, and that a new model needs to be addressed on the behaviour of light.

Keywords: Advanced waves, Conservation laws, Phase velocity, Principle of least action, near field.
