Electrons ALL emit packets of energy just like photons, but much smaller scale.

Prev: Tomorrow they are ready to start the LHC collider. The Earth can ?be exploded in a 1000 seconds!
Next: 473 nm

As far as anyone can tell from what you've written, you're only talking about smaller photons. Small dogs are still dogs, they're not pieces of bigger dogs.

When do they cease becoming describable as photons and start becoming describable as magnetons? |
