Consider, also, that photons are produced by energy changes in the electrons
surrounding atoms, and are detected the same way (ie changing the energy of
electrons). In between they travel at the speed of light by definition. In
the photon's time frame they leave and arrive simultaneously, ie the 2 atoms
are, in a sense, simultaneously linked by the energy change.

Does this mean that every photon has to have a arget atom, and does it also
mean that there are at least twice as many atoms as photons?
