The Starburst Metaphor: Unveiling Quantum Energy Flow in Electromagnetic Waves
Electromagnetic waves are the invisible messengers of energy, transmitting light, heat, and data across space. Their classical description, rooted in Maxwell’s equations, reveals continuous fields oscillating in space and time—yet quantum mechanics reveals a deeper, discrete reality where energy arrives in discrete packets called photons. The metaphor of Starburst captures this duality: a radiant burst […]
