"is it possible that photons are incapable of having location". That's not possible. Everything at a certain moment in time has a certain location.[/QUOTE]
This is exactly what I propose. If you try to evaluate the position of a photon at any given moment, you must define a moment. The smallest definable unit of time is Planck-time, and it is at this time scale that the locality of the photon in indiscernable. It has something to do with the Compton Wavelength.... but you'd need to ask someone Like AntonioLao if you want a more detailed explanation in terms of physics.
From a philosophical perspective however, this idea makes perfect sense. A maximum velocity (such as the speed of light) is wholly dependant upon a minimal measure of time (planck time).
