[Verse 1]
Turn on
Another photon
I mean…
We need a stream
[Bridge]
A quantum in a vacuum
Traveling at the speed of light
(Is that right?)
[Chorus]
Sending radio waves
(And a lightshow to go)
Bending cosmic raves
(Massless and gasless)
[Bridged]
Traveling to the masses
(Turn your photon on)
[Verse 2]
Turned on photon
Warping of spacetime
Rock on photon
Carrying rhythm and rhyme
(You know… turn up the radio!)
[Bridge]
A quantum in a vacuum
Traveling at the speed of light
(Is that right?)
[Chorus]
Sending radio waves
(And a lightshow to go)
Bending cosmic raves
(Massless and gasless)
[Bridged]
Traveling to the masses
(Turn your photon on)
[Outro]
Traveling to the masses
(Turn your photon on)
Traveling fast past the past
(How long will I last?)
A SCIENCE NOTE
A photon is an elementary particle that is a quantum of the electromagnetic field, encompassing radiation like light and radio waves. It also acts as the force carrier for the electromagnetic force. Photons are massless and travel at the speed of light in a vacuum.
Photons, despite lacking mass, do bend around massive objects due to gravity. This phenomenon is explained by the warping of spacetime caused by energy and momentum, which includes the energy carried by photons. While photons travel in straight lines in a flat spacetime, the presence of massive objects causes the spacetime itself to curve, making the photon’s path appear bent.
