[[It’s been quite awhile since I last read the paper but as I recall the author - who was young and whose education so far was not in physics (evidently earning him the nickname “the kid”) - speculated that sound (pressure waves) gave rise to light (photons.)]]
Yep- that was him- His work does have soem hteory- but it’s also backed up by experiments by prominent scientists in the lab- creating light using high pressure sound-
[[After reading his paper, it was apparent to me that he had a long way to go before his speculation could be taken as a hypothesis or theory.]]
I dunno- I’ve seen ‘theories’ of other sciwentists that are based on much less than Dakota presents
