Caveat: Physicist is invited to correct me here. Light has both particlelike and wavelike characteristics. It acts like a transverse wave (like water waves) where the oscillation of the waves is perpendicular to the line of travel. In polarized light, the angles of the oscilations are lined up in time. That is, each successive photon in a photon train not only oscillates perpendicularly to the line of travel, each one has the same polar angle as the others.

If one looks down the line of travel of a light beam, the sideways oscillations of the photons is aligned in polarized light.
When I pee in the bowl, it forms circular orbs, much like a planets orbit around a sun.
Under water, time may come into play. But I've seen bass track a plug untill it hit the water.
Joe DiMaggio couldn't have made a better catch.
Go figure. Time speeds up and slows down... no clock can measure it.
