THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE GAME
Photons: the energy carried by light
A radio signal, a warm infrared glow and a beam of visible light belong to the same broad family. Their photons carry different amounts of energy. Human eyes see only a narrow part of that electromagnetic spectrum.
Is every photon visible?
Photons are quanta of electromagnetic radiation. They have no electric charge or rest mass and travel at light speed in a vacuum. Higher-frequency light carries more energy per photon; light also displays wave behaviour. The history of these discoveries helped shape quantum mechanics. DOE: Photons ↗
Where the game takes a different path
An absorbed Photon enlarging the next game explosion is a fictional energy upgrade. It is not a literal calculation of photon absorption. Nor does being electrically neutral mean that real light ignores gravity: the game’s selective force immunity is a design choice.
A tiny messenger with a big role
Light can carry information about things we cannot touch. In the game a small Photon changes the possibilities of a later chain, inviting you to notice a quiet-looking body before judging its importance.
Photon in Entangled Chaos
Never explodes and is not a clearable target. Ignores Magnetar and Repulsor forces. A solid receiver absorbs its energy; each Photon adds a full base radius to that receiver’s next explosion. Black Holes absorb Photons safely; their energy then requires a charged particle’s blast to advance normal protection stages. Superposition and Repulsor retain their special interactions.
