| Mar 14, 2020 at 22:07 | comment | added | Árpád Szendrei | @Dale I do believe this is not correct, that is why I am asking for a clarification, because I believe that photons can interact (elastic and inelastic scattering) between emission and absorption. | |
| Mar 14, 2020 at 22:06 | comment | added | Árpád Szendrei | @Dale it says that "The spacetime interval between the place of emission and the place of absorption is zero, that means that both places are adjacent, and there is no place for such thing as a traveling photon." which should mean that the spacetime inbetween the two events (emission and absorption) doesn't even exist, that is, there cannot be any interaction inbetween the two events, that would cause the photon to change momentum. | |
