            This demonstration explains how light, illumination and vision work and it illustrates that the current explanation of these phenomena are based upon flawed beliefs regarding fundamental physics principles. This demonstration reveals new understanding regarding light, illumination and vision.

             By current definition, light involves the radiation of photons of energy from a source point, such as the flame of a candle or point in a sun, in all directions as though to fill a sphere. By current definition vision involves the reception of radiating photons at a point, the eye or a camera. By current definition photons produce illumination by flooding objects with their presence but the processes by which that happens are left without explanation.

            A lighted candle illuminated by sunlight light directed to cast a shadow is used in this demonstration. (Diffused light produced by light bulbs does not produce a clean shadow.) The candle casts a shadow on the backdrop because the light (radiating photons) is blocked by the material of which the candle is made and the candle is illuminated. Where the light is not blocked it illuminates the backdrop. There are three points to be made. Point one: the light, the radiating photons, are not visible and produce no illumination until the radiating photons impacts matter. Point two: the mechanism, the process by which light produces illumination is not explained. Point three: the flame does not cast a shadow. (Any carbon residue seen as smoke will produce a shadow.)   

            Responding to points 1 and two: Since the photons show no evidence of light or illumination until after they impact physical matter, it must be assumed that it is not the photons that produce light and illumination but rather that the photons carry a form of energy that produces light and illumination. Also, since heat is delivered in the same process, it must be assumed there is a form of energy carried by photons that produces heat. Responding to point 3: Since the light (photons) passes through the flame without obstruction it must be assumed the candle flame is not made of matter and if not matter it must be made of energy. Current explanations leave those details unexplained.

            Proceeding with observation now from the standpoint of explaining vision. Point one: the candle flame is visible yet not illuminated by the sunlight light that illuminates the candle because the flame does not block the passage of the photons of the illuminating light. This means the photons do not release the energy they carry, therefore; the flame is not made of matter but rather energy released by the candle. This will be addressed in subsequent explanation. Point two: the backdrop cannot be seen through the flame. This contradicts current theory that says we see things like the backdrop because light as photons, are reflected or otherwise re-radiated by the object of concern, which then travels to and enters the eye (or recording medium) so we see the object. However, the flame does not block the passage of photons so if that were the case the backdrop would be visible, yet sight of the backdrop is blocked. Also, the mechanism by which we see the flame, which does not block or reflect the illuminating light yet it is visible, is not explained. Those facts can mean only one thing, the current explanation of the process of vision is flawed.

            An understanding of the phenomena involved with light, illumination and vision must begin by understanding fundamental physics principles. Going with the concept that energy and matter are interchangeable, it is reasonable to assume that all things are created from energy. Several points that are supported by extensive documented research are recognized. Point one: the fundamental energy exists in absolute size particles or quantum. Point two: to produce the variety of behavior needed for the assembly of energy particles into matter, the fundamental energy exists as several different type charges each with an absolute behavior characteristic. Point three: the behavior inherent in these three forms of fundamental energy dictate how matter is created and how matter behaves. There is no super computer or intelligent being that tells these things how to behave. The intelligence that controls the creation of matter is inherent in the behavior of the three forms of fundamental energy.

             Through reasoning it is concluded that the behavior needed to control the creation of matter must exist in three forms of energy each with a unique and absolute behavior. One form of this fundamental energy attracts only a like attraction charge. A second form of the fundamental energy repels only a like repelling charge. The third form of the fundamental energy attracts both a repelling and an attracting form of energy. Each of the three forms of fundamental energy has a common behavior characteristic; the intensity of their strength diminished with the distance over which they act at a rate proportional to the distance squared. Those behaviors control the assembly of matter.

            One unit of each of the three fundamental energy forms self-assembly to create a composite particle elementary to all subsequent assembly. These elementary particles will self-assemble to create successively more and more sophisticated assemblies and so produce matter. The elementary particles assemble because of their inherent behavior characteristics with the attraction charge at the center surrounded by the affinity charge that is surrounded by the repelling charge and since they are fundamental energy they act instantaneously, they radiate when not bound and since the attraction charge is encased in the repelling charge, they present no evidence of mass (gravitational attraction). 

            The first significant assembly of matter created is the proton. Protons are the heart of a second generation level of creation. Protons re-arrange the three fundamental energy charges supplied through the elementary particles to produce a more powerful energy particle called a photon. The basic photon has three forms of fundamental energy each with an intensity of 1,836 units. Further, each assembly of protons, such as the nucleus of an atom, produce photons with energy intensity equal to the sum of protons assembled. (A two unit assembly of protons for example produces photons where each of the three fundamental energy forms has an intensity of 3,672 units.) This process continues as the assembly of matter progresses.

            Protons and assemblies of protons emit a stream of photons in the form of lines of force where in the streaming line of photons is encased in repelling charges bonded in place with affinity charges.  It is the lines of force emitted by protons and assemblies of protons that produce the force that binds the assembly of components to create atoms. Atoms are the next significant assembly created. Actually the first proton assembled was the first atom. Atoms are the building blocks of all subsequent assembly of matter wherein, the creation of matter is controlled by the behavior of atoms that are in turn controlled by the behavior of the energy carried by the photons whose behavior is controlled by the three forms of fundamental energy. Lines of force are frangible and when they break, the streaming photons are released. Being made of fundamental energy, the photons radiate at the speed of light from the point at which a break occurs.

            These things cannot be seen but the effects they produce reveal their behavior and from their behavior, an understanding of their nature and recognition that they exist.

            Examination of the processes involved in combustion as occurs in a burning candle confirms the concept of elementary particles, their composition and their behavior. With that it is possible to understand the processes involved in light, illumination and vision.

            The candle flame is produced by the process called combustion. Combustion entails the breaking of lines of force that are binding the components of atoms and molecules. Lines of force are streaming lines of photons that are second generation energy particles. The process of combustion begins with the application of a match to the wick of the candle. The heat of the match breaks the lines of force bonding the wax (carbon-hydrogen) molecules releasing photons. The released photons impact on the oxygen molecules of the surrounding air releasing the energy they carry, which includes the energy that produces heat. The lines of force binding oxygen molecules is even more powerful (intense) than the wax molecules and the energy (including heat producing energy) adds to the energy released from the wax molecule bonds. The magnitude of the heat producing energy released is sufficient to support a chain reaction called combustion. The heat producing energy is the attraction component of the fundamental energy. The repelling and the affinity components of fundamental energy are also released by that process.

            Combustion releases photons some of which clear the point of combustion to radiate through surrounding space to produce light and heat when they impact matter. Some impact the molecules in the air that surrounds the candle wick causing the bonds holding oxygen molecules to break and the surrounding air is heated. The heated air expands meaning it is less dense than surrounding air. Being less dense the attraction of gravity is less so the heated air rises. The energy that produces heat, the attraction component, is not visible and the repelling energy component, now called an electron charge that produces electro-magnetic force, disperses into the atoms of the surrounding air molecules. So what produces the flame that is visible?

            There is but one conclusion that can be taken. The third form of energy contained in photons, the affinity charge, is visible. It is the energy that coats objects upon which impacting to make the object visible. Further, having an affinity for attraction energy, which exists concentrated around the wick of the candle, the affinity charges are attracted to the attraction charges rising as heat. The affinity charges in concentration are seen as a glow whose shape conforms to the shape of the rising heat.

            This phenomenon is not unique to candles only. It is a factor in all processes including atomic and nuclear reactions. It is the glow produced by the energy released by broken atomic bonds that is seen as the glow of the sun or stars in distant space, IT IS NOT RADIATED LIGHT AS PHOTONS.. We receive photon radiation from our sun, it is called sunlight but it is doubtful any significant amount of light radiated by distant stars ever reaches the earth. Also it is inconceivable that radiating light conveys to our eyes the image of the emitting object. How would radiating photons acquire and radiate an image of the object from which emitted? Then consider the size of an image carried by radiating photons that expand exponentially with distance. There can be only one conclusion, the current theories vis-à-vis light, illumination and vision are flawed.

            The concept of the third or affinity energy responsible for illumination and vision is supported by other conclusions derived by consideration of the understanding revealed by this analysis. The question unanswered by current explanation is how can information pertinent to the composition and appearance of an object be transmitted through vision? Using the concept of elementary particles of three forms of energy the answer is revealed. The molecular bonds of the surface layer of the matter upon which photons impact are formed by affinity energy. The intensity of the energy applied to form each bond is revealed by its wavelength or frequency. Affinity energy is attracted to the attraction energy of the objects inter-molecule bonds with the same intensity as the inter-molecular bonds. Therefore, frequency of the affinity energy that is illuminating an object reveals the nature of the material.Each wavelength (or frequency) in affinity energy produces a different color and therefore reveals the nature of the illuminated matter to the observing medium. This phenomenon is further evidence in support of elementary particles with three forms of energy, one of which is the instrument responsible for producing heat and another illumination and vision.

             It is interesting to note that this explanation of the phenomena of heat, light, illumination and vision also provides explanation of the mystery surrounding events documented by the Scripture pertaining to the alleged command Let There Be Light, the incident involving Moses and the burning bush and the incident involving Meshack, Shadrack and Abednego and the roaring furnace of Babylon. If in each case the energy that produces the glow associated with heat occurred by a means not involving combustion, heat and combustion would not have been a factor in those incidents. Also, since existence of the affinity form of energy is key to the formation of elementary particles and matter, it is possible to conclude that supplying the energy that produces light is relevant to the command Let There be Light. Making those connections is not so conclusive, however; that does not change the fact that the affinity form of fundamental energy that is key to the formation of matter is also key to the production of light.
