Split photons predicted the new unimaginable particle's existence.

The split photon called "Majorana bosons" is the thing that gives an idea that maybe there are particles in the photons. If the photon is not an elementary particle in the group of bosons. That means we are facing a new type of physics. So we must rethink the standard model. If the photon is not a boson or even an elementary particle it should be like some hadron. Or rather say pion or kaon.
So is photon some kind of meson? The future will show that thing. But the idea that there is some kind of particles inside the photon is interesting. There is of course possible that the "Majorana-fermion" could exist in the photons. But there is possible that the "Majorana-fermions" can also involve some other particles. The best candidate for Majorana-particle is the neutrino. And it's also possible that there is also Majorana boson. That means that maybe Majorana missed something and the Majorana-particle is a boson.
Majorana fermions are enigmatic particles that act as their antiparticle themselves. And Majorana fermions were first hypothesized to exist in 1937. They are of immense interest to physicists. Their unique properties could allow researchers to use those particles. For the construction of a topological quantum computer.

The existence of the Majorana fermions predicted Italian physicist Ettore Majorana in 1937. "In supersymmetry models, neutralinos—superpartners of gauge bosons and Higgs bosons—are Majorana". (Wikipedia, Majorana fermions)
But the question is. Could there in the "Majorana-particle" some even smaller particles?
If Majorana-particle is in photon, that we have thought being elementary particle in the group of bosons. Why that "Majorana-particle", cannot be some kind of meson? Or a member of another hadron group? Maybe those Majorana particles are members of not yet group of hadrons.
Or are there missing particles inside pions or kaons? When we are thinking that as an example pion is forming of the quark and antiquark pair, what is the thing that denies the annihilation of that particle pair? Is there some small particle between them?
When our knowledge of the matter and fundamental states of the time, space, energy, and particles and their interaction. We are facing one of the most fascinating things in the universe. What is the thing that limits the speed of light?
The idea that photons split in two seems insane. But the researchers are founded cases, where photon splits. And that thing gives a tip. That maybe there is some yet unknown particle inside photons. Maybe that unimaginable particle can answer the question of why nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. There is the possibility that this particle that we might call a "sub photonic particle" is the graviton. Graviton is a hypothetical transportation particle of gravitation. But those things are only hypotheses.
