What is a photon
Photons, the fundamental particles of light, are massless entities that travel at the speed of light in a vacuum. Once created, a photon is characterized by its energy, which remains unchanged until the photon is destroyed. Photons, unlike electrons, do not interact with each other; they cannot exchange energy or […]
The Copenhagen Interpretation is Wrong; Here’s Why
