Blow your mind wide open here. From Alex Farrell in Quora.com... "So you have this thing in space called a field, in particular it’s an electron field it extends everywhere in space, when you add energy to this field of a particular amount an electron comes into existence. Now this electron is a special characteristic of the field in an excited state, but keep in mind the field only puts out electrons. The electron in itself is another field, a self reinforcing static matter field. It could be a point like particle or a field with some dimension, it doesn’t matter because the qualities that make an electron an electron have nothing to do with size. But with its quantum characteristics. It’s mass, charge, spin etc (other less significant properties exist).
So we’ve established that an electron is just a region of space with some special characteristics. Now let’s hold that region of space and move it. We are now moving the space that contains the field that compromises the electron. Through this movement a secondary phenomena occurs and that is of the boson, in particular it’s the boson we call a photon. It’s the ripple effect from a field which makes the phenomena of a boson. The ripple is the boson the boson is the ripple. The ripple represents the tug and pull of energy from the original field as it oscillates in space. It’s like moving your hand through water and creating a wake."
The ripple from an electron is what we perceive as light or more commonly known as electromagnetic radiation. We call it “electromagnetic” because we need two concepts to describe a singular phenomena with two degrees of freedom. The magnetic part happens first and the electric part happens second..ergo there are no such things as magnetic fields, they are secondary manifestations of initial field movement.
Light is a tertiary phenomena. It’s the ripple in space time from an oscillating field (electron), produced by a static field (electron field energized) produced by yet another field (electron field unenergized).
