in reality you willnever find a photon with
one cycle per 100 billin yeras
A photon with such a frequency and wavelength would be SO low in energy
as to be undetectable.
An antenna to emit or detect such photons would be unbuildable.

Even if that is a fundamental truth that still doesn't mean they don't
exist.

But discussing such things is about as useful as debating how many angles
can dance on the head of a pin -- neither one is science.

(sigh) Sorry Tom. You got this one wrong too. Ever hear of virtual
particles? Or quarks? These are particles which are said to exist but can
never be detected.

Not really .. photons are known to exist and exhibit behaviour as
predicted by theories of physics .. angels don't.

We know different photons can have different frequencies, and that the
range of frequencies so far detected is very large. There is nothing in
the known 'laws' of physics to prevent a photon have a frequency of 1Hz,
or 0.1Hz, or 0.01Hz, or 0.001Hz etc. Claiming without supporting evidence
or theory that there is some arbitrary lowest possible frequency (ie some
longest possible wavelength) is what is not science. The actual existence
and detection of a very low frequency photon, below any proposed limit,
would refute such a claim .. however, the lack of such a photon does not
support it and certainly does not prove it .. which is what Porat claims
.. and that claim is also not science.

Tom has once again shown us another error in his thinking. Given a frame in
which the photon has a frequency of 1 Hz then we can actuall make that
determination by changing frames to a frame in which the light has a much
higher frequency. When then measure the frequency in that frame and apply
the postulates of relativity to determine the frequency in the original
frame.
