All people are sure that they see sunlight. It turns out not. A person is unable to see sunlight for two reasons:
- human eyes are not adapted to direct sunlight, so if it occurs to him to look at the Sun in open space, he will immediately die. All portholes at the orbital stations are made of multilayer transparent materials - glass, acrylic and supplemented with light filters:
- the flow of direct sunlight is closed from human eyes by a huge layer of the atmosphere, the thickness of which reaches 800 km.
Nobody really knows what light is. Including scientists. Humanity sees only a part of the form of this energy, but the nature of its origin, and the interaction with surrounding objects does not understand.
School physics suggests considering the nature of light to be dual - corpuscular and wave. None of them explain the nature of light. How does light from the Sun reach the surface of the Earth?
No way. This process is similar to how if one person, without any malicious intent, threw a stone that hit another, a stone, then another and finally, the last one rolled into the forehead of another person.
All radiant energy is absorbed by the upper atmosphere. Gas molecules lie in a dense curtain, and the beam always hits only a gas molecule. The molecule itself consists of protons and electrons, electrons, when they perceive light energy, are excited and move to higher orbits. They then return to their original orbits and emit light in the process. We say in this case - each electron emits a quantum of light.

This quantum hits the next electron again and the same thing happens. This process takes place at a speed of almost 300,000 km / sec. True, it is noted that the speed of light in different environments is different. The level of the energy potential of this process is also transferred from one atom to another, therefore there is a physical heating of material objects that have received the transferred potential.
This is how the light reaches the surface of the planet. This is the light that enters the human eye and the person sees that it is day outside, and that is good. But these are not quanta of sunlight. These are quanta emitted by the electrons of the gas that envelops the planet's atmosphere.
Each substance emits its own spectrum of light. Interestingly, we do not know what a substance transparent to light is. We see, for example, that glass, or a diamond crystal, or a ruby is transparent. At the same time, it is difficult to imagine that the density of matter in these crystals is so discharged that light quanta freely squeeze between the atoms and molecules of the crystal lattice. It's impossible.
One more peculiarity of the quantum of light is surprising. As written just above, the environment in which light travels affects the speed of its propagation - it slows down. Nevertheless, when a quantum of light emitted by an electron leaves the boundary of a medium, for example a ruby crystal, it again accelerates to the speed it had before. How? Where does he get this energy from?
This fact proves that the received quantum of light was absorbed by the electron and converted into energy, which allowed the electron to move to a higher orbit. A higher orbit requires more energy, which the quantum delivered to the electron.
That's it, the quantum has done its job, and it no longer exists. When returning to its original orbit, the electron gives up the released energy in the form of a quantum of its own production. This quantum already carries information about the electron. At the same time, the nature of the light itself remains unchanged. Using this property, spectrometers determine the composition of plasma, gaseous atmosphere or soil on other planets, stars, and even galaxies.
It turns out that the nature of light energy has a common property and is, as it were, the basic carrier of processes, regardless of the space in which the light phenomenon occurs. I want to suggest that light is not a phenomenon of our space. Its dimension is higher than the dimension of our world. Light is, as it were, a substance of inter-spatial ether, which fills the entire layer cake of the spaces of the Universe. And its properties are determined by the highest forms of organization of life in it.
Thinking in a similar way, the previous article was written, which raised many unconvincing objections. Based on these considerations, the conclusion suggests itself that light cannot be solar, reflected, refracted, or any other. Light is an independent substance. Its appearance is caused by certain processes that occur at the material level. Basically, light appears where there is a transition of matter from one state to another, or there are processes of changing energy levels.
This is probably why food deteriorates much faster in the light, and any item is stored better in the dark than in a lit place.
The thoughts of those readers who discussed this topic and have their own views are always interesting. As practice has shown, thoughts and conclusions are so unexpected that they present the problem in an absolutely amazing way. Most often these are the facets that one person cannot emphasize in his own imagination. And when discussing, they cause that very feeling: Here it is that which was kind of understandable, but did not manifest itself in any way at the level of awareness.
