What is light? What is it made out of? And why can’t anything travel faster than light?
In: Physics
No one really knows. Scientists have created the idea of photons to explain light, and it seems to work out mathematically and conceptually, so we all understand light as these photon particles.
Photons are tiny particles of light. Imagine them as tiny, invisible balls that make up light. Just like how you have lots of tiny Lego bricks to build something big, many photons together make up the light you see.
Light is a special kind of energy that helps us see things. It travels very fast and can come from different sources, like the sun or a flashlight. When you turn on a light, you’re seeing lots and lots of these tiny photon balls zooming around and bouncing off things, which helps your eyes see the world around you.
