The constancy of light is a postulate and has no derivation.
Quote from: Starlight on 23/01/2020 21:16:58My equation specifically ''asks'' about the linear momentum of light and the physical reasoning behind lights speed .I appreciate your considerate reply but it doesn't directly answer my question in regards to the mechanism behind lights speed .My logical formula specifically states the physical process and energy divided by a vector space . I believe that is quite applicable in explaining the question .In a 4 dimensional format :E / =f(x)?These are nonsensical equations.

Light not having its own mechanism of propulsion .
The physical meaning of the speed of light comes from Maxwell's equations. and shown to be a function of u_o and e_0, the permeability and permativity of free space. The constancy of light is a postulate and has no derivation.
Quote from: StarlightLight not having its own mechanism of propulsion .A wave on the ocean, once started, continues onwards:- It continues to have a speed- Despite having no method of propulsion of its own
emitting is a word without physical explanation .
What is function x if not an attractive linear force that is constant in nature?
Quote from: Starlight on 24/01/2020 14:00:22What is function x if not an attractive linear force that is constant in nature?Forces cause acceleration. Photons travel at a constant speed. So there is no acceleration, and therefore no force, involved.
Forces can also cause a constant speed !
Additionally a photon accelerates when exiting glass !
... This user's posting habits look very familiar. Thebox, is that you?
I'm not certain that's true. I think the change in velocity
Let us think of light as an electromagnetic wave not as a particle its velocity depends on permeability and permittivity of the medium in which it travels when it leaves the glass it adapts to the new medium in which it is travelling.
attractive linear force of function (x)
Quote from: Starlight on 25/01/2020 10:02:46 attractive linear force of function (x) All forces are linear.What do you think you are talking about?
Light having no unique propulsion system but instead being influenced by the f(x) !
Where F is an attractive force !
Light does not need a 'propulsion' system so your f(x) is meaningless! Quote from: Starlight on 25/01/2020 11:25:17Where F is an attractive force !There is no attractive force involving light!
I think Kryptid could be right about the OP being the box. The use of meaningless made up equations is a bit of a giveaway...
