We know that light travels in straight lines (gravity and electromagnetic influences excepted). But what makes it travel straight?
Let me expound. A solid mass will (as answered in my previous question) travel in a straight line because the force applied to it pushed it in that direction with reference to the Force vector (direction of force) and in the main will carry on with that direction until the force is expended or a secondary force of some kind alters the resultant vector. We also know that the force and the direction of the force are relative. BUT a photon doesn't seem to follow the same rules as a solid mass. E.g. when the photon has finished it journey, the mass is lost. The speed of a photon is reportedly fixed at C = 1, whereas the speed of a solid mass can be varied in accordance to the force applied to it. Also a solid mass will move within a media (air etc.) a photon doesn't. Photons are released without force vector. How do they know which direction is the shortest?

So far, no opposable thumbs, fire or (to my knowledge) vocal chords to allow communication. No tool-making abilities either, and few social rituals. But if http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ag3mflkzaExNaLIWnidRKUcgBgx.?qid=20060617151152AA5IK9H comes to pass, it strikes me that being aquatic might give you a bit more stability to survive the apocalypse that wipes out the humans.

I am trying to say, 5x5 is 25. If you multiply 1 less than 5 with one more than 5, you should get the same answer. 5 is the geometrical mean of 4 and 6 .... While I am decreasing one five by 1,,,,,,, I am increasing the other five by 1. therefore the results must be the same

There are several bugs in our house. I don't know what they are. How can I know there names and how can I be sure they do not harm? Is there a site e.g. where I can post a picture of them?
