Richard,

Although I wouldn't have been so bold as to say that we are absolutely and unconditionally certain "photons do not exist in the em waves," I'm delighted that someone more articulate than I has expressed the position I was trying to express.

>>>"There is no need for photons in free space. If you think they exist, you are just confusing yourself."
