I usually see myself as being pretty solid on my general science knowledge, but this one continues to stump me.
Light is photons, little particles that move through space… but then it’s also a wave, like the visible light portion of the electromagnetic spectrum? How can it be both? How would photons red shift over great distances? Do we just not know what light is, really?

Think of individual particle as just a small part of the field.
Its got an electric and magnetic component.
An increase in electric field drives an increase in magnetic field and thats how it travels.
