A photon is produced whenever an electron in a higher-than-normal orbit falls back to its normal orbit. During the fall from high energy to normal energy, the electron emits a photon -- a packet of energy -- with very specific characteristics.

Need electrons to create photos which is a measure of light so photons created initial matter - Guess you had to be there at the Big Bang to understand it all

Ain't science wonderful

Right, but that's using energy to move matter from one place (and form) to another. nt sl8 Jun 2022 #9
