Seeking the Nature of Light

This experiment pertains to the nature of light after its source is shut off. It was designed to find out whether or not light continued moving forward as current research in the field indicates, or if light folded back in on itself, as a field would, after the source of the light is turned off. The experiment consisted of a laser, the light source, which was shone through two sensors a large distance apart. The sensors were connected to a circuit, which gave an output after the light was shut off. If the circuit gave an output of one, then the first sensor shut off first and light continued forward. If the circuit gave an output of zero, then the second sensor shut off first and light folded back in on itself. The data for this experiment consisted entirely of ones. Because every trial indicated that light continued straightforward after its source was turned off, the conclusion was that after a light source was turned off, the already emitted light still continued to move forward.
