A photon is not matter, and is absorbed if it encounters matter. It can continue to propagate only as long as it contacts nothing.

A photon is not matter, and is absorbed if it encounters matter. It can continue to propagate only as long as it contacts nothing. But you said that friction was a reality in all physical functions. Movement of a photon is a physical function. Friction requires energy to overcome thus according you your definition a photon should lose energy based on how far it travels.
