    Can a photon be emitted without a receiver?

    A photon or electromagnetic wave has the speed of light in vacuum and the distance, from the photons point of view, then becomes zero. The photon is then an energy exchange between particle A and particle B, and it is from the photons view at startpoint A and endpoint B at the same time. And it...
