Abstract

This paper explores a new model for light that concentrates on propagation as a two-step process: a period of expansion/extension from a source, followed by a period cf contraction/collapse to an absorber. Such a model turns out to be extraordinarily rich with implications: it reproduces the predictions that are the main observational confirmations for GRT, it captures the main kinematic features of SRT, and it exposes what may have been a conceptual miss-step in the original development of SRT.
