Fatso, your last 1-liner above FINALLY gets to the

Fatso, you come across with implying that, when you

a photon in that beam, when it is described as an energy

its measured wave-length, then...

IOW you said that the same photon exists and manifests
itself, to be identified and measured, at the same temporal
instant "everywhere", e.g. in Japan, behind the moon, or
on Andromeda, etc.

Fatso, congratulations!... With your insistence that
"the photon is everywhere", you have successfully
destroyed all of your cherished SR and GR.

Apologize to Brad now, and tell him that your notion
of "the photon is everywhere" amounts to a Gedanken
fart that make Guth's speculations look like the views
of a most hardcore defender of the "status quo".

Finally, let me repeat what you snipped, because it's
People like you, Fatso, who are responsible for folks
like Guth who can't stand nor understand the "status quo".
-------- Fatso, you are guilty as charged! ------------
