If you push electrical pressure into a capacitor, it blows up. If you push too much voltage (pressure) into a battery, it blows up.
Sound is carried by individual particles.
Electricity is carried by a conductor like copper, but electricity is not copper and sound is not a particle.
Electromagnetic radiation is magnitude of frequencies over time. There are no individual packets of light just like there are no individual packets of sounds. Photons are a useful idea in simulations because you need to sample specific paths.

This whole thread is about finding the path of least resistance in a pragmatic sense, not some abstract theory that you can't demonstrate. Even the wikipedia article talks about 'light particles' as an 'alternate view with no mass'.
- Dylan16807 4y agoIf you have a sufficient strong source that pushes, yes you can blow things up. That's true of light too. Not just shining in a weak source indefinitely. You need a powerful source. Just like with electricity or fluids. They behave the same. Photons have no rest mass which is extra abstract. They do have mass, and them having mass is not abstract. And you didn't explain how to resolve https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraviolet_catastrophe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraviolet_catastrophe without discrete packets.
- CyberDildonics 4y agoJust like with electricity or fluids. This stuff is pretty easy for someone to demonstrate with electricity or fluids, so show me it being done with light.
- Dylan16807 4y agoI don't have any super thin mirrors on hand, but do you really not believe that solar sails are a real thing? Or do you think a container would act differently from a too-thin solar sail for some reason?
- CyberDildonics 4y agoThis is about common science that can be done at home, I can show you video of water going through pipes or a capacitor blowing up. You're the one saying that light has volume for some insane reason, so show me. You keep going deeper and deeper into unrelated nonsense just to try to be contrarian.
- Dylan16807 4y agoWhat. I said pressure not volume. I'm not trying to be contrarian, I think you brought up a weird example to complain about and you got rightfully downvoted for it (not by me).
- CyberDildonics 4y agoThis is about finding the path of least resistance so show me light finding the path of least resistance.
- Dylan16807 4y agoYour early comments were just a bunch of saying other people were wrong in general. It wasn't just about path of least resistance. Also if you want to read my other comment chain on this thread, I would not say that electrons do find the path of least resistance. They follow every path, and so would light.
- CyberDildonics 4y agoOther people were wrong in general, light doesn't work like electricity. Electricity takes available paths weighted by least resistance. Light bounces at the reflection angle. Not the same. Most people understand this during high school physics. They don't argue that light is the same as electricity and water because of quantum mechanics and solar sails, then not be able to back up anything they say in any way. This was all about taking the path of least resistance, so show me anything that shows light doing that instead of just bouncing off the reflection angle.
