I just realised I'm not entirely sure what stores/transmits energy in photos. Obviously the frequency of the photon is important, higher frequency is higher energy. But does light have amplitude?

What would amplitude even mean for a photon? In water it'd be the height that the wave reaches

Is there a limit to the amount of energy that could be contained/transmitted by a photon?

How do you keep on living while knowing that you will die?
  • It's hopeless isn't it? We complain about destroying the planet and being a horrible species, but both you and I are part of the problem.

    Indulgence is selfish and being selfish is the reason humans have gotten to this point. But everyone's going to be selfish, so why shouldn't I be? There's no hope of the world recovering. Might as well have a metaphorical doomsday party.

    I hope I can have a peaceful death. One without horrible pain and fear leading up to it. Killing myself seems like the best way for that. Instead of dying slowly from disease, I can shoot myself and be gone before the pain starts. But again, the fear of death is so horrible... No matter how much I think about the fact that it's just nothingness, it's still terrifying. Before I was born I experienced nothingness, and it was fine. Returning to nothingness would be fine. But I'm so scared despite that

    Sorry that you've been through so much

  • I'm planning to. I just need to structure my thoughts into a legible form so that I can talk about it. Maybe that's what this post is about

  • I don't know how to do it. I am so terrified of dying that I haven't been able to sleep well for a very long time. Everything I do seems shallow and hollow - so how does everyone just keep on moving forward, keep setting goals, keep making progress?

    What is a delightfully-solved problem?
  • Finding the area under a function in calculus. Super cool to me, for some reason. Imagine trying to make a small grid and counting out the area under a curve - you'd still be pretty inaccurate and it'd take forever.

    Reddit hated emojis, how does Kbin feel?
  • I made a friend recently who likes to use the plant emoji. It's really sweet and refreshing, and it feels calming somehow. She's very nice to me 🌱
