From: mpc755 on 23 Oct 2009 14:06 A light wave is a wave in the aether. If a light wave is traveling though water, it is propagating through the aether in the water.

photon hath no restmass, precisely because it is not a coorpuscle -- it am what it am, "least action in least time" a la Fermat! the photon is just a figment of Einstein's photo-electrical effect.
