Is there only one photon in the universe?

Now, there is ONE photon for which this is not true: that’s the photon with frequency zero. But since the visible universe is not infinite, that photon can’t live in this part of the universe, to begin with.

Can light be a photon?

Light behaves mainly like a wave but it can also be considered to consist of tiny packages of energy called photons. Photons carry a fixed amount of energy but have no mass.

What would happen if a photon reaches the end of the universe?

It simply expands. And since we can see light from back to the beginning of the universe, which is some 14 Billon years, any photon we were to emit would never reach the current limit of the “edge” of the universe because it is expanding at near the speed of light. It would never, ever get there.

Can there exist a single photon that is white light?

You cannot have a single photon of white light. If you have a very dim white light source, which produces only one photon at a time, you will never see a “white” photon. You will, however, see photons of all different colors, as all those colors combined create the color white as seen by the human eye.

How much darkness is in the universe?

It turns out that roughly 68\% of the universe is dark energy. Dark matter makes up about 27\%. The rest – everything on Earth, everything ever observed with all of our instruments, all normal matter – adds up to less than 5\% of the universe.

Can we create a single electron?

A lone electron cannot be created because of lepton number conservation, it has to come with an antielectron or be part of a decay process, like the decay of the muon where the electron number is conserved by the creation of an antineutrino-electron. The rest mass energy of an electron is 511 keV.

How far light can travel in space?

Light zips through interstellar space at 186,000 miles (300,000 kilometers) per second and 5.88 trillion miles (9.46 trillion kilometers) per year.

Are there infinite wavelengths?

Yes, there are an uncountable infinity of possible wavelengths of light.

Do lasers have the same frequency?

A light beam never has exactly one frequency. Even a single bit of light (a photon) never has exactly one frequency. Certain beams of light, such as laser beams, can get very close to having one frequency, but can never have exactly one frequency.
