Quantum waves can’t be explained in physical terms. According to physics, light waves vibrate in a complex plane that is outside physical space. Light waves also travel in empty space, which again according to current physics can’t vibrate at all. The current view is therefore that light is a wave of nothing that is vibrating nowhere. The alternative now suggested is that light is a processing wave on a network that contains our space as a surface. Light then really is a transverse wave, just as the equations describe it, passed on by a quantum network that is the “… primary world-stuff” (Wilczek, 2008, p74), whose points some call the “atoms of space” (Bojowald, 2008).
