A word thought up a while ago concerning some properties
of light called the 'photoelectric effect'.  It can have
some meaning, and like with any word or set of words, it
can have meaning that varies between people.  It is not
obvious whether the meaning that you use might even refer
to that specific theory concerning light or not.

The photoelectric effect is explained much better with antenna theory.
Einstein's explanation is wrong though not ridiculous and criminal as
his theories on relativity.

Yes some properties of light have been related to electricity
and magnetism.  Those are other theories of light developed
some in the 1800s.

Then there are other theories about light having a constant

respect to both light emission and light observation.

What you have here is a bunch of sci-fi sounding
terms thrown together with no clear real meaning assigned
to them.  They sound like they may refer to something
superficially referring to an array of different theories
about light, but in reality they could have an array of
different meanings that you might assign to them later.

For you they are a generative pejorative to nay-say,
but in reality they have been assigned no clear meaning,
they only indirectly sound like an array of different
theories of light in the past.

Yes there is something called 'orbitals' that
have been related to something called 'quantum
mechanics', and that has been related to something
called 'chemistry' and not just 'nuclear physics'.

Yup.  Jumping between theories tends to point again
to a generic pejorative called 'science' but in
reality terms assigned no clear meaning.
