    There are two kinds of photons. Those free photons in light waves and the virtual photons that mediate between electrons. Virtual,photons are not particle-waves.

    Google search AI tells me a photon has no traditional physical appearance or fixed shape because it's "shape" changes depending on geometric and optical properties of the environment it travels through.

    Reality is not math!
    Answer Confidence: 90 %
    Supporting Text:
    In physics only particles with mass cannot exist in the same place at once. Only massy things, like atoms, or you and me, cannot overlap in space-time. Photons, being pure energy particle waves, can overlap each other in time and space. I say brains have analogy rights, too! Reality is not math. Get real.

    Supporting Text:
    Why do we need labels, man? Like, what's the point of labeling things, man? When we, like, label things, we like, define them, man. And when we define things we, like, say what they are and who are we to do that, man? Bro, labels are just, like, a white colonizer things, man.

    Answer:
    This is factually untrue.

    Supporting Text:
    Based on Euler's formula, photons are more likely to resemble a cylinder, not a sphere. The value of \(e^{i\theta }\) always sits exactly 1 unit away from the center. As \(\theta \) changes, it traces a perfect circle. As the photon travels through space, this circle avances along a central axis. A circle extended continuously in a straight line forms a hollow, open-ended cylinder. The photon's fields spiral along the surface of this invisible cylinder like the threads of a screw. A sphere requires the radius to shrink to zero at the poles. Euler’s formula for a traveling wave keeps a constant amplitude (radius) as it moves, meaning it never closes up at the ends to form a ball.
