Re: Quantum Mechanical Ghosts

The things than come out of a laser, are given the label "photons".
Do you think the things that get out of a laser are non-physical?

I know that electromagnetic radiation is a physical phenomenon but
there are such things (even if only an idea) as photons and if they are
not composed of physical material, what else is it other than being
nonphysical?

Do you think that the things that come out of a laser are non-physical?

I say electromagnetic radiation is a physical phenomenon. I also say
that if there are such "things" as those called photons, they are
imaterial, nonphysical.
