Vanadium 50 said:I don't think you will be satisfied with the answer. "Pure form of energy" is more of a science fiction concept than a scientific one. Science can say "a photon is the thing that behaves in this way (and then list its properties)", but it sounds like you will find that answer unsatisfactory.
Note that no matter what you are talking about, you can eventually get to this point. What is water? What is air? "Yes, but what is it really" is a question that ultimately has only the answer, "the thing with these properties".
I was going to reply to this thread but you took the words out of my mouth haha.
Lots of scientists are too afraid to admit "we don't really know" what a photon is, we know ALL about them, but have no idea what they are because we can't quite comprehend them, kind of like 1D.
