to be fair this isn't completly insane. Im pretty sure
physicists and some astonomers would use the term "light"
to mean pretty much the whole EM spectrum. There isn't really
that much difference between a gamma-ray photon and a
micro-wave photon. When "c" the speed of light in vacuo
is spoken of it doesn't have to be explained that this
applies to all of EM radiation.

Collectively they are
 all called EMR. This is radiation energy that
 travels and as it goes, it expands.

hmmm. Well EMR *disperses* as it moves away from its
origin. The photons themselves don't expand. Just
furthur apart.


These include
 visible light, as well as invisible. It includes
 microwaves, and even radio waves. These are all
 really the same thing, a stream of photons that
 move at certain frequencies, producing waves
 of energy,

a bit iffy here on wave-partical duality. But
if a layman said it in a pub I'd probably
let it go.

identifiable by the speed at which
 they are moving.

you are awrare that all forms of EM move at the
same speed (in vacuum)? There are other things in
the physics zoo which move at c and are not EMR.


Your ears "hear" the light
 when it is at a certain level of speed in it's
 wave formed lengths.

this, of course, is complete bollocks. Light moves
at a constant speed in vacuum. Even in air or water
we can't here light.

Wehn it is faster, you see the light.

<sound of astonishment>

Note: you can *see* light in air in water.


If you get a sunburn, which is
 ultraviolet light, you feel the light. You can
 heat up a cup of coffee in the microwave and
 you can feel the heat that it generated

our skin senses radiation because of the heating effect.
EMR carries energy which is released when it strikes an object
(eg. your skin).

The trick when you don't know what you are talking about
is to quit early.

Is this singing light realted to the music of the spheres?
