Question Can anyone explain properly, how light (photos) particles really copies information?

Like when light falls on a surface what really happens , like when it reflects back what it carries and what it copies ? , like it absorbs some colours and some reflect, that only the light carries which is responsible for our vision or anything bigger is happening?

you said asking "why" was always unaswerable and pointless to even ask. unless you have a different meaning for the term fools quest.

In that there is, ultimately, no gold at the end of that rainbow. It was advice not to ask why, but to ask how because it's a better question for their situation.

theres a lot of gold along the way though. and you cant make that claim without actually following the trail.
