    🤷‍♂️ because when we flip all their quantum numbers we still call them a photon? They have no charge, so if you flip their charge they still have no charge. They have no color, so if you flip their color they are still colorless, etc. The ability of a particle to interfere with itself is a general property of all particles, because all particles are probability waves, so this isn’t special to a photon.

          Eh, I think ‘because math’ is a better description than idk, since we do kinda know why (math models), we just don’t necessarily know why (the models work that way) if that makes sense.
