Thats a cool explaination redewenur I suspect we could even do better than that these days we could actually use a single photon source and send it in an check we either get a photon at the far end or not at all.

However that does not really completely rule it out in a vacuum it certainly explains the behaviour in other media. If Bill 6 was using it just as a sort of indication not literal we still have not dealt with vacuums.

I still think the bigger issue is consider it is bleeding energy as it goes at some point there is going to be an energy crisis what happens at that point?

I believe in "Evil, Bad, Ungodly fantasy science and maths", so I am undoubtedly wrong to you.
