When I try to answer this question, I think of light traveling through the vacuum of empty space as photons.  But if light is both a particle AND a wave, when light travels through space, it is a wave of WHAT?  There is no medium, no ether, to transmit a wave.

A stream of in transit photons?

Above is a link to a thread in an Against The Mainstream (ATM) area on another forum. I was penalised twice for posting what was regarded as ATM by moderators so I posted there and the last post by the Administrator was as follows.

Given this and subsequent posts indicating that no ATM claim is being advocated, this thread is closed. If I am mistaken or if there is some other reason to reopen this thread, please report this post.

Posting non-mainstream material in a mainstream discussion is against our rules, too

Material also has to be relevant to the question, and you don’t make that connection

Moved to speculations; go ahead and make your case, but there’s nothing here relevant to the original thread (i.e. there’s nothing in the OP about a rotating source)
