The Photon Conundrum: A Homer Simpson Adventure

In a twist of cosmic comedy, Homer Simpson discovers that the so-called “visualization of a photon” at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant is actually a glowing, sprinkle-covered donut. Chaos ensues as Homer bites into the sugary anomaly, unraveling the laws of physics and turning the universe into his personal donut generator. With time rippling and quantum scientists baffled, Homer proves that even the smallest particles of light might have a sweet, frosted side.
