Have Three Little Photons Broken Theoretical Physics?

My comment.

' A world without masses, without electrons, without an
electromagnetic field is an empty world. Such an empty
world is flat. But if masses appear, if charged particles
appear, if an electromagnetic field appears then our world
becomes curved. Its geometry is Riemannian, that is,
non- Euclidian. '

1.
Universe as a whole without masses, without electrons,
without an electromagnetic field is an empty world.
Such an empty world is flat ( infinite flat ).
2.
But if masses appear, if charged particles appear,
if an electromagnetic field appears ( in local places )
then our world becomes curved ( in local places stars
and planets were created ).
From outside point of view it is local Riemannian geometry,
non- Euclidian geometry .

Are we still having to assume that individual photons actually move
through space and time?

Because if photons do not actually move through space and time, they
can be considered as merely 2D quantum strings that represent a 2D
flat wave of zero volume and thus offer zero mass.

Even one single photon can change the opinion of modern theoretical
physics.

In other words, the best physics and interpretations of science
doesn't have an honest clue if photons actually move or not.

I could agree if every object followed the same path.
But objects traveling at different speeds follow different paths, so I
stick to the field principle, just like in the electric and magnetic
field governs the way charged particles travel.
