Each new photon in the train is its own mathematical example.

there may be some sense in that.
A photon is an individual 'package' of energy. It MUST possess structure and
intrinsic properties.

Earth doesn't have 'a velocity'. *Velocities are relative.

Dear Henri: Your "degrees" have gone to your head! Those don't prove
that a person can think. They only prove that the person passed the
stupid courses of those who couldn't think, either! — NoEinstein —

That is true now but it certainly wasn't when I did my courses.
