Jeff Shanahan. The quick answer is “No”. I’m no physicist but I know that a proper answer could take up a large part of all the comments sections on KZread. Photons originate from atomic reactions wherever they occur, as well as the sun & all stars. They’re emitted when electrons lose energy & drop down from one energy level to another. Also from decay of subatomic particles such as protons & neutrons. Photons are massless so don’t add to the mass of subatomic particles but are involved in changes of state. I wonder if you know more than your letting on though as your question seems so simple yet is so complex! Ponder your question over a cup of tea & you will feel photons emitted as heat as your tea cools off :-)

Quantum Entangled Twisted Tubules: When we draw a sine wave on a blackboard, we are representing spatial curvature. Does a photon transfer spatial curvature from one location to another? Wrap a piece of wire around a pencil and it can produce a 3D coil of wire, much like a spring. When viewed from the side it can look like a two-dimensional sine wave. You could coil the wire with either a right-hand twist, or with a left-hand twist. Could Planck's Constant be proportional to the twist cycles. A photon with a higher frequency has more energy. (More spatial curvature). What if gluons are actually made up of these twisted tubes which become entangled with other tubes to produce quarks. (In the same way twisted electrical extension cords can become entangled.) Therefore, the gluons are actually a part of the quarks. Mesons are made up of two entangled tubes (Quarks/Gluons), while protons and neutrons would be made up of three entangled tubes. (Quarks/Gluons) The "Color Force" would be related to the XYZ coordinates (orientation) of entanglement. "Asymptotic Freedom", and "flux tubes" make sense based on this concept. Neutrinos would be made up of a twisted torus (like a twisted donut) within this model. Gravity is a result of a very small curvature imbalance within atoms. (This is why the force of gravity is so small.) Instead of attempting to explain matter as "particles", this concept attempts to explain matter more in the manner of our current understanding of the space-time curvature of gravity. If an electron has qualities of both a particle and a wave, it cannot be either one. It must be something else. It must be something else. Therefore, a "particle" is actually a structure which stores spatial curvature. Can an electron-positron pair (which are made up of opposite directions of twist) annihilate each other by unwinding into each other producing Gamma Ray photons.

I'm assuming this refers to how I said photons "don't experience time or space." Things that travel at the speed of light (like light does) have infinite time dilation and length contraction. It's a Einstein's relativity thing. It also means those things _must_ travel at the speed from all points of view, which leads to very strange effects: kzread.info/dash/bejne/k22IlJiCpNPJdKQ.html

@@ankitthakurankit4764 From what I know, people who actually move at fast speeds experience time as if it's normal, however the difference is when you are observing something else move at a velocity relative to some point (After all it's called, "Special RELATIVITY"). Consider this situation: We have someone standing still, person A, (someone not moving in a reference frame), and a car with someone driving it, person B, at a very high velocity relative to person A. Person B experiences time as if it's running normally. Person A also experiences time as if it's running normally. Keep these in mind. However, when person A looks at person B (From the perspective of person A), person A OBSERVES that person B is experiencing time at a slower rate. When person B looks at person A, person B observes that person A is experiencing time at a slower rate too. The reasoning behind this is because relative to your own self, you would not be moving it appears that all other things are moving in the opposite direction you move, therefore, Person B would see Person A moving with a speed equal to how fast Person A sees Person B moving (You need to take into account which perspective basically). Essentially, when you travel at the speed of light, is it said that time stops but ONLY FOR AN OBSERVER who sees the thing travel at the speed of light. (There is also the other effect, as mentioned by Nick, length contraction, but I don't believe you need to consider it in your question) The idea is that whatever your speed is, you'll perceive time to be moving at the same rate (this also includes people in your reference frame who have a similar speed to yours) I should say that since we haven't moved at the speed of light, we actually don't know what it would look like to perceive the environment (if you can at all), however it's just based on the predictions using Relativity.

I love your channel, it’s so educational. Is it too late to ask a question? You said that the human eye does not capture photons separately, so stars fade into space. Does it mean that if we had more powerful eyes, we would see several points in space flashing? If we point a space instrument at the sky, does this happen?

The fact that photons does not experience time and space is so weird and fascinating.... All time ends for such a particle instantly, and every distance is 0 (at least from its perspective, due to time dilation). But I have a question. If we would travel to proxima centauri at 99.99999% of c, to an external observer we would reach that star in about 4.243 years, right? But what about our perspective? Would the journey appear to take less than that? If I'm wrong (I'm almost sure I am) I would love some clarification... Amazing video btw

You see something far away but come closer very rapidly, and knowing that its image is 'outdate', you will _estimate_ its now position much closer than what you see. But this is when you consider yourself at rest. If you consider yourself moving, you have to reinterpret the 'outdate effect' (something looks farther away that it actually is) as _aberration_ and your own clock slowed down.

A photon, however, does not have a perspective at all, for its _proper time_ is always 0. In 'its own reference frame' or, better said, 'in its own rest frame' it doesn't even exist. Actually, the rest frame itself is nonexistent at all. Try to catch up with a stream of photons and it will stretch to nothingness.

When you said 10m trillion photons per second I had to pause and go get a sandwich and then come back, my mind still in blown status

believe me, as a pharmacy student, whatching this makes me giggling like a little child thank you for this explanation
