The Mystery of Zero Energy Particles in Physics
1:13:58 - 1:21:36 (07:38)
The concept of zero energy particles is a mystery and ignoring them may lead to the conclusion that angular momentum is not conserved. These particles are known as soft particles and have zero energy which is proportional to their wavelength.

The presence of zero energy photons cannot be ignored in quantum mechanics as it affects the conservation of angular momentum.

Summary
The presence of zero energy photons cannot be ignored in quantum mechanics as it affects the conservation of angular momentum. As the energy of the photon approaches zero, it is spread over an infinitely large distance.
