Question:
Why is a photon purely a temporal being?
Characterization of a Photon:
A photon is a basic unit or quantum of electromagnetic energy. The characterization of a photon is important to ultra-science information processing technics such as quantum teleportation, cryptography, and quantum computing. To characterize a photon as purely temporal means that it is completely time-dependent i.e. its behavior is completely understandable on a time-axis.
