Why a .co.uk Domain?

I'm not from the UK, but I went with a .co.uk domain because it looks beautiful and professional. More importantly, for the domain name Quantum Gravity, the only available popular TLD (Top-Level Domain) is .co.uk. I explored options like .com, .net, .org, and even newer TLDs, but found them either taken or less fitting for my branding.

The TLD .co.uk is the next best to .com because they are similar. First, they both signify commercial entities. Second, they both convey an international presence; after all, English is the lingua franca of business.

According to Nominet, the UK's domain registry, you don't have to be British to use a .co.uk domain, which is pretty awesome.

Given that the primary language of this blog is English, a .co.uk domain seemed like the perfect choice.

An amazing bonus with .co.uk is that it has a cultural resonance with physics; it subtly nods to the UK's rich history in physics. Legends like Newton, Dirac, Hawking, and Penrose have left an indelible mark on science, creating a cognitive link between the UK and groundbreaking physics.

While this connection might be more anecdotal, it adds a layer of charm and identity to a blog about physics.

Does a Photon Have a Wave Function?

Yes, a photon does have a wave function in the context of quantum mechanics. The wave function, typically denoted as \(\psi\), describes the quantum state of a particle, including its probability distribution in space and time. For a photon, which is a quantum of electromagnetic radiation, the wave function is
