Photons: a Definition

[Little Killer]

Did you know that a photon is a light particle? This is a thought since these are what make the weapons of PSO!

[Poo Fly]

Photon

In ages long past, mankind performed experiments to study "ether," a substance that was believed to be an intrinsic element that existed in empty space.

It was eventually discovered that "Photons" in the atmosphere were responsible for binding the universe together. In other words, all forms of energy in the atmosphere could be grouped together to form "Photons."

One of the most revolutionary devices in the history of mankind was the Photon Generator, which was able to take raw atmospheric energy and reduce it down to its particulate nature in order to extract Photons.

As research continued, more and more uses were found for the practical application of Photon energy. It was soon discovered that using certain minerals as the source for Photons made it possible to harness this energy to create Photon weapons.

This new energy source was a double-edged sword: Photon energy had saved the world from its energy crisis and spurred on scientific advancement, yet it also doomed the nations of the world into falling into another arms race in the name of war and self-defense.

Hows that? XD

Borrowed word!

It's a particle of light with no mass and no charge. Anyone who does physics would know this. They'll teach you a little about it in school at A-level or whatever you have in the US.

I laughed when I heard about "photon weapons". Light kills, yes!

The dictionary says:

photon (fō'tŏn')
The subatomic particle that carries the electromagnetic force and is the quantum of electromagnetic radiation. The photon has a rest mass of zero, but has measurable momentum, exhibits deflection by a gravitational field, and can exert a force. It has no electric charge, has an indefinitely long lifetime, and is its own antiparticle.

Wow, no mass, but it can exert a force! I like that.

[pink]

Aye. I knew this due to my taking two Physics courses. E = hv or something like that... XD

[Cye Zero]

Wow there nothing more to say except it's a form of energy simple as that. But in the terms of PSO when photons are focused you can create weapons.

[Little Killer]

Photons are part of quantum physics. What do you think of that?

( WHAT DOES XD MEAN?! I never get abbreviations. )

[Judgment]

Photons are part of quantum physics. What do you think of that?

Pie

[Little Killer]

HA! HA! HA! That was good timing. I can see the innosence on your face.

Ah. I want to travel through a wormhole, get ripped atom by atom, and come back to normal. WOO! What a ride that would be.

[nomercy]

Wow there nothing more to say except it's a form of energy simple as that. But in the terms of PSO when photons are focused you can create weapons.

Think about it logically. If you touch a lightbulb with your bare hands, you'll feel heat and if it's been on for a while, get burned. All you have to do is get a focus point for it, and wait. Then blam, you have yourself a 'photon' weapon of your own.

Oh yeah, Little Killer, XD is just letterface. If you laugh really hard, your face looks a little like that, and it's as close as it can get via computerization and use of the alphabet.

[Mirinee]

XD is a sideways face which is like >< + =D
Quantum physics! Good. Does "particle/wave duality" mean anything to anyone?

Pie

Yeah! Pie now, please!

Wah, nomercy, I'm easily confused. You're going to have to define the word "heat" for me now. What's the difference between heat and light, because it's the heat that's burning your hands, isn't it? What's "Electromagnetic radiation"?
