Re: definition of a particle?
Well, for one thing, the photon is better defined as a travelling disturbance in the electric and magnetic feilds.
More like fluctuations in the magnitudes of the two feilds, a fluctuation that moves. (Transverse wave style, only that the crests and troughs are in the magnitudes of the feilds)
So it cannot be a particle in the same sense as the other ones.
I know that you know all of this... but we all tend to keep the elementary things in the back of our minds normally. Am I mistaken by any chance?
