Eli5: Can two photon particles hit each other? What happens if they did?
In: Physics
There are two types of particles:
– force particles
– matter particles
Two force particles can be in the same space at the same time. Like magnetic and gravity.
Matter particles like electrons and quarks (the stuff protons are made of), or two electrons, are mutually exclusive to the same space.
Photons are force particles and normally cannot hit each other.
