The "One Single Photon" experiment won't work. That One Photon would
either be absorbed by a particle of the dusty atmosphere or travel
back with its original energy! Try another experiment but don't cheat
in its mental process, Carlo

He didn't suggest such an experiment. Porat is very confused about beams
and photons. he thinks if you shine a torch on a detector for one second,
then that is a one-second-long photon, and so if you can shine a torch for
less than one second, that proves photons are not one second long (which he
mistakenly thinks E = hf means).

I'm sure he will.

then how long seconds do you say a photon is?

yes indeed you got the problem!!
but you have to phrase it scientifically
::
----------------------------
how long do we need to make measurements
to detect the detect the
single photon ENERGY !??
-----------------

i ddint look back
but if i ddint Fraze it properly
i apologize - but am sure
anyone could understand my meaning
so
hereby i did it again
***and that is no reason
not to answer it !!!!
(ps
just take it in account that i was agree (:-)

As long as it take for one to arrive at a detector. And for as long as it
take the measuring equipment to 'register' the energy received. As I've
said many times before, photons are created and destroyed in an instant
(which means within a single quantum of time, if time is quantized). But it
takes time for the processes in a detector to use that energy and work out
how much energy there was. How long that takes depends on the equipment
involved.

And we'd keep taking measurements over and over for lots of individual
single photons to get as much data as we can, and to help minimize
experimental error.
