Abstract
I will begin by identifying 12 layers of meaning of the concept of light
quanta as it is understood today. The main part of this contribution will then
discuss some of the earlier layers. I will also briefly discuss the extreme
skepticism with which the concept of light quanta was received between 1905
and 1922 and close with a thesis on what makes Einstein's thinking so
exceptional.
