Reading these articles about light and quantum theory is always a frustrating experience for me. They are all invariably hand-wavy and never seem to explain things from first-principles. Does anyone have a good reference for a book that does justice to the subject?
On a related note, Simon Singh's book on the Big Bang Theory (http://www.amazon.com/Big-Bang-Universe-Simon-Singh/dp/00071...) was the first book I read that explored the Big Bang in great detail without being hand wavy. I wish he'd write a book dealing with quantum theory!
