Photon Energy
Energy of a photon:
A photon’s energy depends on its frequency, not its speed. Higher frequency means higher energy, like gamma rays versus radio waves.
Let p be the photon’s momentum; a measure of how much motion it has. For any photon, p = E/c . So higher energy means greater momentum, even though its speed stays the same.
When we say "E = h . f", this is not kinetic energy. It’s the total quantum energy carried by the photon. Photons don’t have rest mass, so their energy isn’t split into rest mass plus kinetic. Instead, their energy is all electromagnetic in nature, essentially "p.c" .
The photon’s momentum is measured via "p.c". Photons have energy "E = p . c", which comes from relativistic energy momentum relations. It’s how a photon can carry momentum even though its rest mass is zero.
The photon total energy is E which equals "h . f" and E also equals "p . c" such that "h.f=p.c", thus
c = hf /p
This represents the fundamental relationship between light's wave-particle duality and its constant speed in a vacuum. It demonstrates that for a photon, its speed is always the ratio of its quantum energy to its momentum.

Rebalancing the map
Equal Earth Map:
On 4th September 2026, the United Nations unanimously approved the resolution to adopt new map in the future totally replacing Mercator nautical maps gradually over time:
Running Costs
A toaster is cheaper to run than an air-fryer:
If both devices have identical wattage, the kettle/toaster will normally consume less electricity to cook than any air fryer; so they operate more cost efficiently than an air fryer. The key is not wattage alone, but wattage × operating time.
For example, assuming both devices operate at 1'000 W & 1 Wh costs 0,03537 cent:
- Kettle running for 2 minutes → 1'000 × 2/60 = 33 Wh costing €0,016721
- Toaster running for 3 minutes → 1'000 × 3/60 = 50 Wh costing €0,017685
- Air fryer running for 5 minutes → 1'000 × 5/60 = 83 Wh costing €0,029357

Gooding Business Model
Commission based revenue:
Gooding makes money based on the commission they receive from selected partners. On average, it’s about 5% of the consumer's online purchase, excluding VAT and shipping.
Assume the affiliated retailer is IKEA and I purchased an item worth €100. I still pay IKEA €100 for this product - no more, no less.
So, for my €100 purchase transaction, Gooding earns about €5 in commission that IKEA must pay extra. Thus IKEA netted €95 as income on this purchase.
For IKEA, it’s just like any other marketing cost. Instead of paying, say Google, €5 for an ad, IKEA pays Gooding €5 commission on above transaction for their customer referral. It’s built into their marketing budget, not an extra loss of company revenue. And it's that commission what gets split later between Gooding and my charity. So, nothing comes out of my original €100 spending.
" It's just a marketing expense for the affiliated retailer; like advertising! "
