Abstract
THE neutrino theory of light is based on a fundamental hypothesis of Jordan1, according to which the emission of a photon must be considered either as emission of two 'coherent' (parallel) particles—neutrino and antineutrino—or as a kind of neutrino Raman effect, without change of direction. This hypothesis permitted Jordan to construct, in the one-dimensional case, the Bose amplitudes required for photons, from the neutrino amplitudes which satisfy the Fermi statistics.
