Bojan, I also think of disappearing energy of photon as becoming potential energy. It got one problem, thought. In our environment the conversions of potential and kinetic energy takes place all the time. To recover the photons and the information it carries (in this scenario) would require (to my way of thinking) reversing the direction of time flow. That leads to the interesting speculations about the fate of the Universe and about what may exist beyond the observable Univers.
This kind of inconsistencies pops up all the time when you consider one section of the current Cosmology and compare it to other sections. In some other tread you wrote that it is necessary to accept current view of mainstream science. And to large extent I agree. What irritates me is that by large the mainstream theoretical science presents its model of universe as definitive and only possible truth, instead of saying – based on our current knowledge and our abilities that’s how we thing the universe works.
From historical point of view it is quite possible that couple thousand years from now the GR, Space-Time and limit on speed will have about same credibility as flat earth idea.
