As the thread title suggests, I was wondering if electrically neutral particles like neutrons can absorb/emit/reflect photons. I don't really have any sort of physics background so I'm not sure this question even makes much sense... but I vaguely remember hearing that photons don't necessarily interact with all particles, which got me to wondering about which particles they do/don't affect. Since photons are, as I understand it, electromagnetic in nature, it made sense to me that maybe they wouldn't be able to interact with electrically neutral particles... which I imagine would render them invisible.
Anyone willing to alleviate my breathtaking ignorance would be greatly appreciated :)
