>light is made of masless particles
>wew there are these particles right? but they have 0 mass even tho they exist, they are , like, made of something that doesnt exist but its there k?
>>
light is made up of a vibration through space, and the vibration exists in a small space we call a packet, or particle.
>>
Particles are a linguistic red herring

Oh so those little spheres that people like to show in their computer simulations as particles are actually just boundaries of small space containing nothing material?
They chose little spheres for easier visualization of whats happening?
>>
>>8884276
yes
>>
>>8884276
Tiny spheres are a model used so brainlets can halfway understand things, yes.

Kind of like how you explain differently named variables to children in algebra by asking how many apples vs. how many oranges.

So misleading really. So this is true for all the particles, like electrons and all the stuff in proton(quarks I believe)?
All we observe is vibration or there are categories of different "kind" of what happens in that "little sphere of space"?

tiny spheres can be derived from waves mathematically though.

that's how you get to enclose waves to a finite space

It's not intentionally misleading, it's just that the full explanation needs quantum field theory.
>>
>>8884328
I see. I always wondered how did we technically measured all those subatomic stuff. For me its incredible that we even have that kind of sensitive instruments. I mean right? Its not everything math and theory? There were experiments to prove all the quantum theory stuff?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYZhNBYYmLk consider this for electrons. also consider that electrons are soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo small that we don't really know their shape and that they might actually be strings
