ELI5 plz. I thought light was made of photons? Or do photons emit light? The glow of this particle confuses me.
Provide the source please. Photons are probability clouds as far as I know.
I’ll believe it when I see it
I know it’s a stretch but this was my first thought

I always knew it!
That’s an eye floaty
When light gives you lemons…
looks a little big to be a photon if you ask me
This image of a photon is also an image of countless of photos.

Now show us one that’s in a relationship.
I don’t understand. We see things when light bounces from that thing to our eyes, does that mean some other light hits that photon and then reaches our eyes first before that photon?
So life is literally made of lemons great.
