:A photon is emitted from A to B, but if you measure that photon at an
: intermediary point C, then that photon was emitted from A to C, not to
: B.

A car is driven from London to Paris, but if you fuel the car at an
intermediary
point Dover, then that car went from London to Dover, not to Paris.


: This means there is no path for any photon, only two points, (i.e.
: emission
: and absorption points).

This means there is no road for any car, only two points, i.e. the starting
point and the finishing point.


: Of course, you can argue that that
: intermediary
: point can retransmit that photon towards B, once it was absorbed.

Of course, you can argue that the car can continue on its journey,
once it has refueled.


: A retransmitted photon is not the original photon, but a new one, and
: it may exhibit either the same state or a different one, depending on
: the
: properties and state of system in C that absorbed the former.

A refueled car is not the original car with an empty fuel tank, but a new
one
with a full tank, and it may exhibit a tendency to drive back to London.




So, the
: question is,
: if there are no intermediary points between A and B which can absorb
: and
: retransmit that photon, what is the speed of that photon "travelling"
: from A to B?.


No, the question is, are you a ranting lunatic?
