Your posts are interesting.

A while back a Canadian fellow proposed an excellent 4D cosmology based on the principle of the conservation of matter and energy and a few other axonomic ideas. Problem was (and is) that there is ultimately no law of conservation of matter and energy in 4D cosmologies.

From the photonic frame of reference one is everywhere in the universe at the same time.
A photon coming out of my lamp is identical- and entangled with- a photon coming out of a lamp on the other side of the universe.

Also, despite the mathematical nicities of the "massless" photon, such an idea is a contradiction in terms for the photon does work...on my calculator anyway! Schwarzschilds 0+ photon is really the only kind, and it fits a vast but finite and closed hyperspherical universe very well.

At our frame photons can be experimentally seen to be entangled and they display the properties of both waves and particles. Because of quantum mechanics, we can even do experiments, change our minds and see different results.

However, what we see is real, because this is the frame we inhabit and have to deal with every day. There is something profound about the photon, but a physics discussion about the properties of light is hardly a religous matter, no more so than a discussion of what happens when we get run over by a train.

As complex particulate constructs, we can only exist as we process information on 4D event horizon surfaces within the photonic matrix. We are very complex- but very mechanical, as one finds out when he or she breaks ones neck!

If our body ceases to exist, so do we...at least until we reappear once again in one hemisphere or another.

At our frame light exists (in reality)
as both waves and particles, depending on how we observe it, and it likewise travels at a set velocity. Change the scale frame, and c changes too, very slowly for many orders of magnitude, and then greatly near the singular realm.

At singularity light has no velocity at all...it cannot and does not escape...except by the topological trick of "time reversal" as seen from our frame. (the process is continuous and not actually reversed).
