Light speed is constan "c". I am puzzled

Prev: is light/radiative energy potential or kinetic or both?

Those experiments amount to terrific bungles repeatedly ad nauseum, and such bungles described in detail in http://adda-enterprises.com/MMIint/MMint.htm Cheers, Arindam Banerjee

Now join the pizza edged made by removing that slice. You end up with a bowl. Pick two points on the edge of the bowl. Find the "shortest" distance between those two points. You may not fly. Now find a globe of the world. What is the "shortest" distance between NYC and Tokyo? /BAH

(just kidding) I mean, why bother going around? Photons always have to go around atoms. The fewer the atoms the better. However, what happens when there are no atoms (say less than 1/km3)? How does the photon migrate from its point-source? ~ BG
