Alright, I'm 14 and I don't have alot of information about atoms, but, does Light/Electricity have its own atom? If so why isnt it an element on the periodic table? Im just confused because its weird that I can look into a fan and like, dilate my pupils just a tad bit, and I see sketchy strings of light going down, and when I look at this I see very little cell like circles with a circle inside of it.. Its very strange and I was thinking of electricity or light, from a lightbulb or another energy source could ever be a element or a compound?.. Although I could just be seeing things but I like to think scientific :)

photons are what makes up light. you can google info on it pretty easily.

as for the rest i would guess its contaminates on your eye since they aren't focusing properly due to dilation.

if im reading it wrong or not understanding it may also be lens flare due to too much light getting into your eye.

I believe electricity is just the subatomic electrons. I could be wrong though been a while since Ive taken a science class. But Light is made of photons and contains no mass.

What you see that looks like cells is probably dead eye cells.

the truth is scientists don't know, they have several debunked theories that they still try to push but the best theory for what light is, is found here

without any critical analysis being 'because no better answer has been found yet'. which is why people are trying their damnest to do exactly that! do some experiments, publish some articles, get scientific community backing and you too can change the world!

the problem is, that they are trying to build of theories that haven been scientifically proven to be false, and these theories are creating more problems the more they modify them.

is any educated person going to believe that a theory is correct when you have to create "dark matter" which supposedly makes up 75% of the universe, but is impossible to observe, when all previous findings suggest that the most matter in the universe creates the most light.

or when quantom says that an object can be in 2 places at once, but that goes against all previous findings.

these theories are fundementally flawed and need to be rewritten from scratch, and the reason no other theory has been found is becuase they keep modifiying these fubar theories. and censoring every other theory from ever making it to the ear of the common people.

Thank god for the internet where you can still find information without censorship, which pisses off a lot of people, not only these scientists but also the state run media, which is why there is talk of putting restrictions on it. becuase the only way to have power over people is to control what they hear and think, IE religion, politics and science.
