Zippy photons come to the Roque de los Muchachos.

scans the sky each night for high-energy photons from the distant cosmos.

Picture this: Teddy Roosevelt is on safari on the Serengeti, and he sees both lion dung and elephant dung lying about on the ground. He calls one of the new guides over and asks what he (the guide) makes of that, and the answer he anticipates is something like "Well, Bwana, some elephants done been around here, and some lions done been here TOO!"

The answer which Teddy DOESN'T expect to hear, at least if the man means to keep his job, is that some sort of a magical animal with properties of both lions AND elephants had been around and pooped up the place.

That would clearly be idiotic and, yet, when you open any physics book to the page on "photons", that selfsame logic is PRECISELY what you see. People in coming ages are going to laugh themselves silly when they see that.

So what you’re saying is that Science is MAGIC?

Fascinating, thanks for posting and pinging me.
