As always, another great post. thanks.

I’m far from being a scientist/physicist, but this seems very important.

How manty times can a photon be split into two photons?
Is it photons all the way down?

They found a Bozon and a Moron each of whom promptly registered as Democrats.

That a photon has angular momentum at all is one of the strangest things the mind can contemplate.

Just glad they did this to a single photon rather than to a married photon.

IANA physicist, obviously.

How do you split a photon? What "blade" do you use?

When you split a photon, what do you get? Smaller photons? How many? Why two, not three, or a thousand?

Can you reassemble the pieces, I.E. build photons out of smaller photons? Do you need glue?

Photons are units of light. When you split a photon, do you get more light, or less? In what spectrum? Visible, IR, UV, what?

If’n a photon splits it becomes a banana split.
