Fun fact: due to the uncertainty principle, light actually spreads out as a circular wave of probability from the Sun out through the solar system. It may or may not interact with something on the way - once it does, the probability wave function collapses into a certainty and is no longer spread out through the vast distances of space.
So this particular packet of light could be just about to interact with a rock on the Moon, when fate decides that it will instead end up drying your cum sock.

so if we all leave out more socks there's better chances all the photons get some fun?

Fun fact: that isn’t how the uncertainty principle or reality works.

Yeah? How does it work, then?
