Question about photons

[Johnny5]

Suppose that anything which historically was referred to as a particle, is really just a node in a traveling wave.

 

So this would hold for 'photons'.

 

Electrodynamics leads to the conclusion that what is vibrating, in the case of our "photon nodes" is electric/magnetic fields.

 

Photon's propagate in vacuum.

 

My question is coming up shortly.

 

I am thinking of a piece of thread which stretches from the earth to the moon. The thread is taught. It's vibrating, there are nodes in it, the nodes are moving in this frame close to the speed of light.

 

Here is my question:

 

What is the string? I don't see any string. There is no string. The notion of a universe interwoven with strings we cannot see, is strange.

 

Do we have to throw away the idea that particles are really nodes in waves?

 

If we do, then I suggest we throw away the E/B field treatment of EM waves. If not, what is the string?

there is nothing wrong with your model but there is a problem that you can not prove what you just said with maths.
