Solar power for dummies:
The sun throws tiny packets of energy (photons) at Earth all day. Solar panels are built with materials that get excited when those photons hit them. That excitement knocks electrons loose and creates electricity.

Color degradation drop off with photons degrading as they can’t bounce back into our eye at a certain distance so it creates atmospheric perspective with photons losing strength at a certain distances.

do you ever think about how when you look at someone's butthole, photons are bouncing off the hole and directly into your eyes

I feel bad for photons that travel 93 million miles from the sun and then have to bounce off your stupid face.

I directed my light bucket at the Orion Nebula, exposed my sensor to more ancient photons, and blended last year's Orion data to reveal much more detail and nebulosity. ✨

Where do photons go if they break the law? To prism.

who up bypassing their digital signal processors and counting their photons?
you're not going to believe this, but this is absolutely not a thing.
Colin Langdon (who was at the event I put on earlier in the month) asks about dust/fog/glare issues with cameras as a safety issue in Tesla's approach to driving automation.
Musk claims Tesla uniquely "bypasses the digital signal processer" and does "direct photon counting"

So if anti-matter is boys then photons are non-binary because they are their own anti-particle.

It’ll never get dark. The nuclear reactions creating the photons are at the core and those photons are diffusing out (over like tens of thousands of years!)

just convert low entropy high energy photons into high entropy low energy photons bro
This “genius” genuinely believes that healthcare budget analysts can simply be reassigned to making toasters.
