Hmm, I do not think so. Photons have energy, and if you stack a sufficiently (VERY) large number of them together into a sufficiently small space, according to physics a black hole should form. EDIT: Actually I'm not really sure about this at the moment, I have to think about it...Bradfordly1 said:
EDIT 2: I have thought about it, and I think I am correct .That's for fermions (they can't have the same state). Photons, however, are bosons. Particles are divided into fermions and bosons, see e.g.rootone said:

I don't think that actually implies that the earlier statement is questionable. Is there a conflict?Fervent Freyja said:
The number of photons in a given space can be calculated by dividing the energy of the light source by the energy of a single photon. This will give you the number of photons present in that space.
No, the number of photons in a given space can vary depending on the intensity of the light source and the size of the space. More intense light sources and larger spaces will have a higher number of photons.
Yes, the number of photons in a given space can be measured using specialized instruments such as a photometer or a spectrometer. These instruments can detect and measure the intensity of light, which can then be used to calculate the number of photons present.
The number of photons in a given space directly affects the intensity of light. The more photons present, the more intense the light will be. This is because the energy of the photons adds up, resulting in a brighter light.
Yes, the number of photons in a given space can change. This can happen through various processes such as absorption, emission, or scattering of photons. The number of photons can also change if the intensity of the light source or the size of the space is altered.
