How big is a visible photon?
In this video I discuss the behavior of photons/electromagnetic waves especially the aspect of interference.
The current video not only exposes the flaw, but presents a better explanation.
- 0:00 General Intro
 - 0:47 What do others say?
 - 1:21 About wavelength and size 
 - 2:10 Interference in light
 - 3:08 Electromagnetic waves and detection 
 - 5:25 Things that make you go Hmmm…
 - 7:36 New experiment and setup
 - 10:23 Calculation of single photon level (boring)
 - 11:59 Result of the new experiment
 - 12:41 Discussion of the result
 - 16:29 About „shot noise“
 - 17:16 EM field strength and probability of detection
 - 19:18 So how big is it then?
 - 20:02 Deleted scene 
 
The scientific explanation is actually very mathematical and way more complex: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degree_….
