But we do know what the quantum of light is it is the photon and it has an energy e=hv, where e is the energy of the photon, h is Plancks constant, and v is actually the greek letter nu, but I don't know how to put that in here. It is the frequency of the photon when it is considered as a wave. So the quantum of light is well understood.

As far as understanding the wave/particle nature of the universe, well that is one of the mysteries of quantum theory (QT). Given enough training and math it is possible to work with QT and achieve very good results. But as I have said before, if you think you have figured it all out your doctor can give you some medication and you will be just fine after a nice rest.

C is not the speed of light in a vacuum.
C is the universal speed limit.
