Photon is real object, a gamma photon can create a pair electron and positron. But if photon is a reality object then why itself is not a inertial frame so in this frame its velocity is equal 0?

What is the definition of a real object?

Can you derive from the definition of a real object that they must have an inertial frame? If not, then this question doesn’t make sense.

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. Towards the end of the first lecture for the Qiskit Global Summer School 2025, Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, Olivia Lanes (Global Lead, Content and Education IBM) stated...

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
