It get's stranger

Photons are the are particles they only behave like waveforms when your not measuring their location. Lights wave like behaviour is an excellent way to demonstrate Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. Amazingly you can see the uncertainty of the photons location manifest itself as a interference pattern during the famous double slit experiment. But this is were it gets stranger photons can actually be a collection of quarks and gluons!
