Although most students who covered classical physics understand the high-level concepts it turns out the details, when you get down to the quantum level, where the photon-electron interactions are occuring, are much trickier. Feynman et al got a Nobel prize for their explanation of Quantum Electrodynamics (QED).

Sorry for this little diversion, but it has occurred to me that physics has a bit of a logical contradiction and I think highly of the group's rational faculties here to help me sort this out.
If light travels at a. different speed for different colors in order to account for the rainbow of a prism, how fast is the. speed of light then? Is there real physics to optics? How can light know what direction to bend after it leaves the lens?
Am I the first to discover these discrepancies? I know everyone tends to bow to the priesthood on these topics, but I believe the Establishment has failed to deliver us a secular revolution.
