The reason that you can see me standing here is because this room is filled with more than 100 quintillion photons, and they're moving randomly through the space, near the speed of light.
It also uses photons, but they're all synchronized, and if you focus them into a beam, what you have is an incredibly useful tool.
And the atoms themselves are quite violent, but if you fire lasers that are precisely tuned to the right frequency, an atom will briefly absorb those photons and tend to slow down.
For example, if you shine light through a superfluid, it is able to slow photons down to 60 kilometers per hour.
And that packet of photons, that bullet, will travel at the speed of light, and again, a million times faster than an ordinary bullet.
Now, if you take that bullet and take this packet of photons and fire into this bottle, how will those photons shatter into this bottle?
So the pulse enters the bottle, our bullet, with a packet of photons that start traveling through and that start scattering inside.
Many of the photons eventually reach the cap and then they explode in various directions.
[A laser pulse is fired] (Music) Ramesh Raskar: We're going to fire those bullets of light, and they're going to hit this wall, and because of the packet of the photons, they will scatter in all the directions, and some of them will reach our hidden mannequin, which in turn will again scatter that light, and again in turn, the door will reflect some of that scattered light.
And a tiny fraction of the photons will actually come back to the camera, but most interestingly, they will all arrive at a slightly different time slot.
The idea is not that photons are intelligent or thinking.
But the thought is maybe photons might have some element of raw, subjective feeling, some primitive precursor to consciousness.
It captures all of the light, all of the rays, all of the photons at all of the positions and all of the angles, simultaneously.
That's billions, trillion of photons, all falling in line as directed by the hologram, to ricochet through densely scattering brain, and emerge as a focus.
But, you might ask, why was the Higgs boson included in the standard model, alongside well-known particles like electrons and photons and quarks, if it hadn't been discovered back then in the 1970s?
In solar panels, photons from the sun's rays hit the surface of a panel, and electrons are released to get an electric current going.
Light consists of tiny particles called photons and the amount of energy in each photon corresponds to its color.
Sunlight offers all the photons of the rainbow, so a gas molecule can choose the photons that carry the exact amount of energy needed to shift the molecule to its next energy level.
The atoms in glass do not pair well with any of the energy levels in visible light, so the photons pass through.
Just as oxygen gas prefers the dark red photons, carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases match with infrared photons.
The more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, the more likely that infrared photons will land back on Earth and change our climate.
The human eye is an amazing mechanism, able to detect anywhere from a few photons to direct sunlight, or switch focus from the screen in front of you to the distant horizon in a third of a second.
And there you see unification, because matter particles, electrons and quarks, radiation particles, photons, gravitons, are all built up from one entity.
It's absolutely pitch black, because photons cannot reach the average depth of the ocean, which is 12,000 feet.
This little bump indicated that we were seeing an unexpectedly large number of collisions whose debris consisted of only two photons, two particles of light.
Events where only two photons hit out detector are very rare.
They attract each other by exchanging particles called photons, which are quanta of light that carry the electromagnetic force, one of the fundamental forces of the Standard Model.
Just as photons carry the electromagnetic force, particles called gluons carry the strong force.
Well, quantum physics describes the behavior of atoms and fundamental particles, like electrons and photons.
This causes a tiny nuclear reaction in which the mass of the two particles is converted into two high-energy photons, similar to X-rays, that shoot out in opposite directions.
