Light Bubbles – The mechanical solution to wave-particle duality
Abstract
Within the framework of the Universal Quantum Foam Hypo- thesis (UQSH), radiation is not interpreted as the transport of discrete particles through empty space, but as a fieldmechanical excitation of a continuous, elastic medium. Light corresponds to the freely propagating boundary dynamics of this medium and expands isotropically as a spherical stress front. Emission is un- derstood as the local relaxation of previously bound field states, where energy is not carried by objects but transferred through successive reorganization of neighboring regions. To provide an intuitive description of this process, the concept of “Light Bubbles” is introduced. A Light Bubble denotes a spherically expanding field response whose propagation, interference, and detection are manifestations of continuous reorganization within the same me- dium. Phenomena such as interference, double-slit behavior, and apparent particle localization arise not from a wave-particle dua- lism, but from the combination of extended field oscillations and 1 localized coupling to material structures. Furthermore, it is shown how bound field nodes may emerge from freely propagating exci- tations through geometric self-organization. Matter thus appears as stabilized, locally circulating field motion, while radiation re- presents the limiting case of open propagation. Black holes are interpreted as highly saturated stress regimes in which bound states lose stability and convert into free relaxation modes. This approach provides a unified ontological description of radiation, matter, and gravitational boundary states as different organiza- tional forms of a single continuous field and offers a consistent alternative to particle-centered interpretations.
