Fermions are the opposite category, because they do: No two of them which are of the same type, can be in the same physical state. This is why two Electrons, which are not Bosons , cannot occupy the same Energy level in an atom if they also have the same spin and angular momentum. It is also the reason why neutron stars do not collapse to black holes by themselves: neutrons are not bosons either. Photons are bosons, and therefore one can have a light beam of a fixed color of arbitrary intensity. You can cram as many photons of the same frequency in one bunch of light as you are willing to pay the electricity for.You may not believe that I understood everything you said, but I do. Actually, I know that there are 2 types of fermions—quarks (neutrons and protons) and leptons (electrons). As my op suggests, the focus of my question is whether bosons contain energy or actually are energy.
I suspect that you do not (yet) care about this technical detail of Fermions vs. Bosons, and that your question is rather: what is an elementary particle. Am I correct?
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
