In the Name of Allah---the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. Primordial Light and Spiral Universe Model One of the most remarkable features of modern physics is the dual nature of light. Light exhibits phenomena traditionally associated with waves, such as interference, diffraction, polarization, and coherence, while also displaying unmistakably quantized behavior in phenomena such as the photoelectric effect, atomic emission and absorption, and single-photon detection. Modern quantum theory does not treat these as evidence that light is literally a classical wave and a classical particle at the same time. Rather, the photon is understood as a quantum excitation of the electromagnetic field whose behavior cannot be completely described by either classical picture alone. Primordial Light Theory  (PLT) proposes a deeper interpretation of this quantum character. It asks whether the photon itself might not represent the ultimate level of reality, but instead be a particular observabl...
