👉 Pirates' light particles, also known as photon-like or light quanta, are hypothetical subatomic particles that exhibit properties akin to both light and matter. These particles are theorized to be the fundamental units of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light, but with characteristics that extend beyond classical physics. They are often conceptualized as massless, chargeless entities that travel at the speed of light, carrying energy and momentum. Unlike electrons or protons, which are well-defined particles with mass, light particles are thought to be excitations of an electromagnetic field, making them central to quantum electrodynamics (QED). This dual nature—similar to both waves and particles—makes them pivotal in understanding phenomena such as the photoelectric effect, where light interacts with matter, and the behavior of light in various media.
