From "bright thing" to "universe's ultimate messenger" - this is basically light's glow-up story! Each panel gets progressively more EXTRA in describing photons. First it's just a humble light source (and cat entertainment device). Then it's quantum physics' favorite paradox. By the third panel, our photon is a rebellious teenager with zero mass and ALL attitude. Finally, it achieves its final form: cosmic gossip columnist zooming at 299,792,458 m/s to deliver electromagnetic tea to charged particles everywhere! This is literally how physicists talk about light when they think nobody's listening. 💡✨
