Photons cannot slow down but you could be right about
them losing energy over time. Lengthening the wavelength
of a photon is certainly a loss of energy. That could
explain the red-shift of light from distant galaxies.

"Optics", by Hecht, 4th edition, Page 52:
"Photons are stable, chargeless, massless elementary
particles that *exist only at the speed of light*."

While I cannot dismiss the existence of the photons, I am not aware of
any experiments which have been able to measure them.

However, to me, the fact that there is some type of interaction with our
antennas and the ether is undeniable ... and, indeed, I do not believe
that transmission of radio signals would be possible, on most
frequencies--at least, if not for the ether.
