Photosynthesis in plants utilizes a complex arrangement of proteins, enzymes, and other chemical components to
turn electromagnetic energy from the sun into chemical energy for the plant.

That means they can not undergo the type of collisions that dissipate
energy (or hardly any collisions at all) the way ordinary particles do, primarily
turning kinetic
energy into
electromagnetic energy, in the form of photons.
The results of many calculations were
turning out to be infinity: the electron, for instance, would interact with the photons of its own
electromagnetic field so that its mass — or
energy — increased indefinitely.
The light from the Sun passes through the Earth's atmosphere, which is transparent to visible light (that's why our eyes evolved to be sensitive to this kind of
electromagnetic radiation), and warms the surface of the Earth, which in
turn reradiates the
energy, now as infrared radiation, because the Earth's surface isn't as hot as the Sun.
