Sometimes I feel like a complete failure.
The most useful thing I have ever done is prove Einstein wrong.

SRians are desperate for anything that might even remotely support their
illogical pseudo-aether theory.

SG/GR says absolutely nothing about photons when they aren't being observed.

I don't want to discuss particles in accelerators or their decay products.

Look bz, particle accelerators don't contain much ordinary matter but they are
filled with 'fields' (whatever they are).
I don't want to speculate about what might happen when a particle of matter
(whatever that is) happens to change into something else.

AS I have sais\d many times, if I hit a golf ball at v and it breaks into two
in flight, the two pieces continue on at v, initially.
Anything might happen when a particle breaks into EM.

But it doesn't necessarily 'decay'. It merely changes from one form to another.

Stars are filled with fields and no 'ordinary matter', yet you speculate
about what might happen in them.

We have some pretty good ideas what DOES happen. We got those ideas from
watching what happens in places INCLUDING accelerators.

'Decay' is usually used to refer to the transition of an excited
atom/molecule to a lower level of excitement. This often involves the
emission of a photon.
