| Re: quantaised nature of photon?
I can't tell you the physics of the photon. But someone once told me something that I thought was profound. It can take one photon up to a like a million years or something like that just to get through the sun, a bunch of itself, to get through to the crust and get sent off as energy. So if it tends not to interact with another photon, maybe it just knows that sets the whole process back an inordinate amount of time maybe there just doesn't exist that much time in the first place. A limit exists, in everything.
The reason that measurements can be taken in relation to other things, is that a limit exists, unspoken and yet obvious to the measurement that if you go down this way, you will never be achievable, realizable, possible, not even potential. The transpotential. Potential is what could be and transpotential is what could never be and both are made possible in the same breath in the same imagination, in the same ideation, in the same thought, the fortunate and the unfortunate. The chosen and the cast away. The path and the warned way.
Everyone fears a way and it follows them sometimes. They choose not to choose it sometimes often sometimes rarely. But it is there. The transpotential.
What does this have to do with a photon? If a photon does not interact with a photon, and neutrinos do not interact with matter, and atoms are mostly empty space, and electrons are zero radius, and this world is based on electronics and the bonding of orbitals of electrons, what exactly does zero plus zero plus zero etc add up to.
An infinite zero radius's are still a big fat zero. That leaves protons and neutrons, a tiny bit of matter in the center of the atom so small you would never believe it!
Photons fill our sky every morning and never interact with each other even though there are gazillions around, they only live for us. How did we get so lucky? We are not that good?
In all the galaxies, in all the stars, we got one that likes to give us photons that only do what they should and never interact with one another. I'm not sure but I think that borders on winning some kind of galactic lottery somewhere. And he's been at it for 15 billion years, hmmmm...
The ability to not interact with one another may be the reason we exist. I do not reach certain conclusions lightly. This noninteraction thing is no small phenomenom. It bears repeating. It bears focus. The force that exists that found the way for photons to noninteract in the wake of interactions in creation is worthy of separation and significance in physics. This same force is probably in action where neutrinos are concerned. A giant gentle force ensuring that photon does not interact with photon and neutrino does not interact with matter, thus ensuring that destiny is fullfilled and all is well with the Universe One.
There is more to this story. I'm sure of it. I smell Einstein's footsteps in the hallway now.
