You guys, this is easy.

Question: what would happen if light didn't travel forever like
Cinderella?

Well, it would probably stop.

It would come to a stop.

This explains EVER cosmological observation ever... except... its
taboo.

You can't question light.

Don't you remember 1905?

Velocity depends on the medium, you google-posting gmail-using fuckwit.

You seem to have missed something important, Michael.

You make the photon sound like a Newtonian object. The photon
only has existence propagating at c.


From the quantum mechanical perspective, all photons travel at c.

1. photons are emitted (by charged particles)
2. photons propagate at c
3. photons are absorbed (by charged particles)

Photon momentum
p = hν/c = h/λ

Photon Energy
E = hν

That's because, in reality, light is instantaneous. But, we still
believe light is finite. Since, we institute this finiteness when it
comes to light, it doesn't matter whether we are moving towards or
away from a light source, the delay will always be the same. Instant
light + finite measure = constant delay of light.
