## Understanding Light

### How light is formed

What it light? The traditional light which moved at a speed of 299792458 m/s is comprised of a massless radiation known as “photons”. Photons are 100% massless meaning they are not capable of releasing traditional force. Impact will appear to be none until subatomic levels of energy distribution. Light is an energy meaning as it travels and is reflected it will lose its energy. Traditional and natural light will not allow for impact holes of visible and sizable amounts. The massless nature doesn’t allow for this, Although something can be moving at the speed of light in fiction so the statement of speed needs to be taken on a case by case basis. (Ex. His beams move at the speed of light) if this statement isn’t contradicted then it can be accepted as the speed of light. Ex. (Be shot out light beams) if those beams created impact holes and did damage the materials that comprised the specific light form had mass in them allowing for damage meaning it’s not light speed.

Overall: Natural light is light speed and is made of massless radiation. Something can move at light speed in fiction while still having mass it just needs to be stated. Finally “light” is not real light if it is not comprised of photons the massless energy

### Light Wave lengths

When we refer to light we are talking about a spectrum of different colors. Each color having different energy attributed to their distribution. The wave lengths are as listed here, here, and here. The shortest wavelength of light is violet light and the longest is red light. What needs to be understood as that these wavelengths will all travel at the speed of light but when interacting in a medium such as water or even the earths atmosphere they wills scatter and move differently. This can be seen because of how the light interacts with our atmosphere the sky appears blue. The fastest thing in our real universe is the speed of light but in a fictional sense things will vary.

## Light or Laser Dodging Feats

in fiction light or laser dodging feats happen regularly and not all of these will be valid feats because not all of these light or laser based attacks will actually be light speed and given that the speed of light is the speed limit of our universe we need to be careful on what we define as light speed

### Requirements to be light speed

you do not need to meet every requirement on this list but if you meet a majority of them then it is okay to count it as a Speed of light beam or laser

* The beam refracts in refractive materials (water, glass, etc).
* The beam diffuses in a reasonably realistic way or reflects off a material that it can be expected to, such as a non-magical mirror.
* It is stated to be composed/consisting of photons or light itself, again by a reliable source.
* It has its origin at a realistic source of light, such as a camera.

now if The beam is called lightspeed by reliable sources then all these things above are not that important because something is reliably called "light speed" then we can take it at the face value and say it is light speed. But when something is call photonic or just called light in general we need to make sure it fits enough of the light requirements to be considered light speed.

### Proof of not being light

* It is shown at different speeds in the same material.(ceros from bleach are an example of this)
* It is destructive in nature and has destructive capabilities (if the light that is destructive is still meeting multiple other requirements then this would not matter.)
* They do not travel in straight lines (unless you can prove refraction/reflection.)

Now if there are lasers/light beams that don't fall under any of these rules then they would simply be dismissed as you cannot call something light speed based off name alone and that would be fallacious in nature
