It seems odd that light can move in a vacuum (propagate).
This was a big question before Einstein's theory of
relativity. It was thought that space was composed of
"aether," a substance that essentially allows light to
travel through it. If this were true, though, the travel of
the earth through space would change the speed of light
depending on which direction you beamed a light source. This
was proven incorrect through the Michelson-Morley experiment
which showed that even though the earth is speeding through
this 'aether,' its speed never changes. Somehow the
electromagnetic wave that is light propagates itself. It
does not need a medium to carry it, so to speak. Thus a
light beam needs no medium in which to travel.
