A light year is related to velocity. A photon that is currently a light year away will create the present if it interacts with you in a year's time. i.e. the present is proceeding at the speed of light.     

That still doesn't make sense. Time is not a velocity. Being related to velocity is not sufficient.

Not to worry, I am not sure about it myself. Maybe ResearchGate can help: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/327365074_Spin_and_orbital_angular_momentum_of_photons

What I can't make sense of is why you think the photon's intrinsic angular momentum can supply its direction.

You seem to be telling me you can't make sense of some of my posts. Noted, best I can do sorry.

I presume he thinks it travels like a corkscrew.

YES - with good reason! See https://phys.org/news/2019-08-corkscrew-photons-spontaneous.html

You seem to be telling me you can't make sense of things. Noted.

No.
He is telling you the things you say do not make sense.
You also forgot to address these problems

Photons cannot be observed.

Yes they can.
In particular, if a gamma ray photon hits your eye you might actually see the scintillation.

If photons cannot be observed

They can be.

who is is to say photons can be created simultaneously?

Logic.
They are brought into being by the same event. It follows that they happen at the same time.
There's also experimental observation of this - used every day throughout the world in medical imaging.

No, because
A light year "Bullet second" is related to velocity. A photon "Bullet " that is currently a second year away will create the present if it interacts with you in a year's second's time. i.e. the present is proceeding at the speed of light. a bullet.
Or a train, if it's important that you don't miss it.
Or an asbestos fibre, if that's what kills you.

Cute, but It won't be a bullet or a train or a fiber of asbestos that is interacting with you (you can't interact with an abstraction). It will most likely be a photon interacting. If you still disagree, tell me what is involved in a bullet/you interaction according to particle physics.

fermions cannot interact.

Do you even know what a fermion is? This statement suggests that you don't.

[Bored chemist]

fermions cannot interact.

How do you think it looks when you try to tell the grown ups that electrons don't interact?
do you think it is

Cute

Dumb post. Do you really think I could attract 44000+ views without knowing basic physics? Can you please elucidate me as to how fermions interact, especially as all fermions obey the Pauli Exclusion principle.

PS A search on google "How do fermions interact" yields no usable results.

The number of views is not directly proportional to the knowledge of the poster.

If they didn't interact, then the Pauli exclusion principle wouldn't even exist. One fermion obviously has to be able to interact with the other one, otherwise you could put as many fermions in one place and state as you wanted.

[Bored chemist]

Do you really think I could attract 44000+ views without knowing basic physics?

Yes, I do think that.
That's what the evidence says.

How many of the 44000 are there to laugh at you?

No problem. You can get a lot more, and even become President of the USA, without knowing anything.

You obviously care about very little in life. You are a tiny, tiny person intellectually. You are an internet troll. You are a talentless mediocrity at best. You have not got a creative bone in your body. You get your kicks from trying to belittle people who care about making a difference in this world. In the process you are only belittling yourself. You constantly embarrass yourself with your stupidity and seem blithely unaware you are doing so. GET A LIFE.

Trying to correct the misconceptions of others is not being a troll.

Why are you replying to a BoredChemist post? BoredChemist  has admitted in a previous post that he gets pleasure from belittling people.

No.
You are the one who deliberately posts nonsense on the web to get a reaction.
That makes you the troll.

That's pretty clearly a childish excuse.
The real reason you don't reply is that you know I'm right.
You can't reply to my comments without admitting you were hopelessly wrong.

Because I see this same thing happen all too often here. When people with fringe/alternative views are called out by another member, they often resort to calling that member a troll.
