Ommair;
Most scientist know what a photon is and they are correct. It is the misuse of the term to mean an object of light that is wrong. The photon represents an increment of change of energy as defined by Planck’s constant. Let’s face it, not everyone is able to comprehend wave theory and the photon makes it easier to remain ignorant for those who do not really wish to know.
