All I think I know is that light is quantized into integer counts.

LOL, then explain the operation of a Fabry-Perot Interferometer based upon photons!   J

Hey, that's off topic :-) Light is schizophrenic but don't tell them that!

I make no claim to explaining it.

I'm simply stating that individual "photons" or again, whatever it is/they are can be counted. Each has a quantifiable discrete energy level. I'm looking at it strictly from an engineering prospective. Photon multiplier tubes do work.

I make zero claim of any significant understanding of the actual physics of it. So perhaps I should simply shut up...
