OK, I found something in the dictionary . com photon, a quantum of electromagnetic radiation. and not a word about light to be found. Dictionary . con I never use it but I believe it is the most reliable source of snake oil on the net.

I'm not asking for the definition of a photon. I'm asking for the definition of light. A photon represents the smallest particle of light, just as an atom represents the smallest particle of the chemical elements.

There is no light coming from a photon so there is nothing to redefine.

No one ever claimed that light comes from photons so that is a straw-man argument. What we said is light is composed of photons.

You redefined light when you said it is the experience of a photon striking your eye. That is not the standard definition of light. That means you redefined it.

They aren’t. Only a very specific band of frequencies is called light, not the photons themselves. Other frequency bands are called eg, radio, microwave, UV etc. This has been explained in previous posts. Don’t be mislead by shorthand terms, more correctly the photons in the spectrum of light should be called light-photons, when we talk of photons we are referring to any part of the emr spectrum.

I have read that all of the photons rang is referred to as types of light we can see UV light with the wright detector. They all produce light when making contact with the appropriate light detecting equipment.

Well, I see what you are saying now the problem with that is if I was to let's say go to Wiki how or one of many reliable sources it would not be me expressing my theory doing that will only revert me back to the conventional way of thinking.

Really?  4 pages discussing if light is real?

It's five pages now if it gets kicked off you will have a real sense of achievement and feel good about yourself.

This is an argument about definitions. Light is not defined the way you claim it is. That makes your theory wrong.

New theories require new definitions the definitions in the dictionary are defined to suit mainstream beliefs and thinking.

Then invent a new word to go with your definition so we won't confuse it with light.

I will give it a go it is called { A light stimulating particle } this light stimulating particle is what activates the sensitive rods and cells in our eyes and delivers the produced information to the brain and the brain creates the image. When we sleep and have a dream we see images very clearly and that is with our eyes closed so it is the brain that can see the eye is the decoder

I have no idea what that means.
