Okay, Jeff, you say yes and you're using the inverse square law as an example for that. Yes, inverse square law does apply the same as it does for gravitation light, any kind of radiation on that further away you get from the source, the intensity of it, the dimension. But the gaps between photons as it spreads through space, no, they're not. As it's traveling through space, this is where the wave duality of light, the wave particle duality of light comes in. As it's traveling through space, it's basically in its wave form at that point. It's only when it hits Earth or some other place where you're actually measuring at that point. So as soon as you start to measure it, then there's gaps forming between the photons. But as it's traveling through space, it's traveling basically as a wave and it's not until it's being detected and being examined where it actually becomes particles and you can then measure the distance between them.
