If photons are airborne particles, and all airborne particles should have a smell, photons should have a smell! Is there any way you can measure smell?

1) Photons are not airborne particles.

 

2) I could not find the word smell anywhere on the Wikipedia page, obtained by typing in "airborne particles".

But you may find "air borne particles" by typing "fart".

Smell has to warn living organism against dangerous molecules.

It can't be triggered by the most common substances, because it would be useless feature.

Brain/nervous system would be flood with data.
