Summary
In this podcast transcript, we learn about how energy can be transferred from photons to electrons and how they lose or gain energy through electron shells. Additionally, the speaker uses a comparison to a Dodge Viper taking a left turn to explain the concept of photons taking a hard turn after energy transfer.
