Ok fine /science What’s the best argument for why light is a particle? Note: not why light emission and absorption is quantized, that is different I already believe it

Maybe it’s more obvious with the heavier energy particles, like how neutrinos despite rarity will react with chemicals they pass through, but film grain seems to show a similar effect to me. So I guess I’d point to examples where light is barely present and is detected in dots.

Hmm, but couldn't that be evidence of quantized emission / absorption, not necessarily particles?
