How do you count them?With a Photomultiplier.
Obviously, Maxwell′s equations do not explain everything in a conclusive manner, for if they did there would be no need for quantum mechanics to introduce all these stages.Agreed. If Maxwell equations in Heavyside's notation are examined, they don't seem to accommodate quantization of electric charge and mass. They don't even mention mass in the first place. These clearly show that they are incomplete as description of physical reality. Something needs to be added.
This means that, in a sense, it doesn't ″experience″ its own motion.Do you mean it has no beginning nor end?
Do you mean longer wavelength means larger effective size?Why microwave is trapped inside microwave oven, while visible light can escape through the metal mesh?Wavelength.
I am sure some idiot will point out that mice can escape through the bars of an elephant's cage because they are smaller, but mammals cannot self-propagate in a vacuum because they are not electromagnetic radiation. Beware of false analogies. If it stinks, it is probably philosophy, not science.
How do you count them?The experiment shows that there is no such thing as individual photons in EM radiation.And yet we can count them!
Avoiding imprisonment, torture and murder does not equate, in my book, to consent. And thanks to religion and local corruption, the Indian electorate is too busy attacking itself to be concerned with the minutiae of government expenditure.In democratic countries, consent can be expressed in votes.
TimelineShortly, it depends on context.
