- How does light carry its force?
Hello,
I've been studying electromagnetics, electromagnetic radiation, and bit of quantum electrodynamics for about 12 months, but I'm stumped on an issue..
This is what I understand so far:
Would it be accurate to say that light consists of oscillating vacuum fluctuations? Or is there some other way electromagnetic radiation can carry force?
Thank you.

This is what I understand so far:
- Charge consists of countless "vacuum fluctuations" (i.e., virtual particles).
- Accelerated charges make light, and light consists of "oscillating charge".
- Light exerts a force on charged particles, but light is not charged.
Would it be accurate to say that light consists of oscillating vacuum fluctuations? Or is there some other way electromagnetic radiation can carry force?
Thank you.
