The "photon" is not a physical entity.

One could just as correctly assert that
angels, rather than photons
convey changes from causes to effects.

A photon is an effect, not a thing.
It is more of a verb or adjective,
than a noun.

The only thing that exists and can be measured
between a cause and an effect is an interaction time.

"Photon effects" tend to be associated with electrons
whereas "Graviton effects" tend to be associated with masses.

"Graviton effects" are more complex than "electron effects" "
as masses are more complex aggregate of properties
than unit charges, and therefore a more complex math structure
is needed to model a Graviton effect".

The "auto collision effect" is even more complex than
a unit Graviton effect" therefore
a even more complex math structure
is needed to model the "auto collision effect".

As the thing that exists between "auto collision effects" is an auto,
and the only thing that exists between "electron effects" is an
interaction
time,

photons should be called what they are, "charge interaction times",
and the word photon should be done away with,
as it conjures up false images and concepts.

Specifying an event in terms of a time interval
would define a sphere on which an observer
PERCEIVED that a cause originated from,

and in the absence of a time interval,
the observer would be saying that something
beyond his knowledge was the cause.

By making multiple observations of events at effect points
observers could establish strong correlations with
cause point on imaginary spheres.

In other words, rather than come up with an
imaginary object like a photon,
it is best to probe for the most probable
cause point on a sphere about an effect point.

Why conjure up photons and angels
when they are superfluous?

In effect wave theories tend to do this
as a wave is a probability thing
that maps a sphere.

Note that if the sphere is not symmetrical
this indicates something between possible cause points
on the sphere, and the probably effect,
is affecting the so-called photons or angels.

This "something" is called permittivity, permeability or impedance
depending upon how you look at the "something".
