Light: The Rope Hypothesis

Abstract:

We propose a physical model that provides a rational interpretation to the fundamental properties of light. The Rope Hypothesis justifies and simulates basic features and behaviors such as straightness, speed, and orthogonality, and merges light with gravity into a single mechanism.
