Do you always act like a child in physics discussions?

Well, there is quite a bit involved in just knowing and discovering the
source of hbar. So we still have a long way to go.

I really don't rely on Usenet discussions for what a photon is or isn't.

Quantum "vacuum" and relativistic effects.

Not exactly QM; it remains fundamental. If you haven't read Volovik's
masterpiece then I suggest that you do. However, I expect you will need
to do much studying before you could even understand some of what he
says.

You are only showing your ignorance of what QM and particle physics is
all about.
