What Is the Size of a Photon?
- Thread starter van gogh
- Start date
In summary: I have no idea what we are talking about, but it is funny.In summary, the conversation was about the size of a photon and whether or not there is a meaningful answer to this question. Some previous discussions on the topic were provided as reference, but the most meaningful answer is likely just the wavelength. The conversation also included a joke about spelling and a question about how much time it would take for a photon to travel its wavelength.

As you can see, the answer is not simple and many people don't think there even is a meaningful answer.

FAQ: What Is the Size of a Photon?
What is a photan?
A photan is a hypothetical particle that is a combination of a photon and a neutrino. It is proposed as a way to explain some of the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy.
How big is a photan?
The size of a photan is not currently known or determined. It is a theoretical particle and its size is still being studied and debated by scientists.
Can we detect photans?
Currently, there is no technology or method that can detect photans. However, scientists are working on developing new detectors and experiments to try and detect them.
How does the size of a photan compare to other particles?
Since the size of a photan is unknown, it is difficult to compare it to other particles. However, it is believed to be much smaller than a proton or even an electron.
Why is the size of a photan important?
The size of a photan is important because it could provide insight into the nature of dark matter and dark energy, two mysterious components of the universe that we still do not fully understand. Understanding the size of a photan could also have implications for our understanding of particle physics and the fundamental forces of nature.
