Physicists attempt to rekindle the interest of colleagues and senior and graduate students in fundamental issues surrounding light that remain unresolved. They begin by critically reviewing the mainstream photon model, and explaining the epistemological origin of logical contradiction in it. They look beyond convention to discuss such topics as the photon wave function, the photon as the minimum dose of electromagnetic radiation, weak and intense monochromatic light wave propagating in cold strontium cloud, what physics is encoded in Maxwell's equations, and measuring light waves directly.
