The photon does not move, it simply grows outwards, creating more photons when it touches a Big Particle, with a lowered energy value. Hard-light constructs are impossible, and make no sense.

Oh yes I know the properties of photons and that. True as that may be, the ability to manipulate photons in itself is impossible, so the whole situation requires a fair bit of suspension of disbelief. With things like controlling and building technological constructs with one's mind and imbuing arrows with kinetic energy, altering their velocity and vector, and other such things, it isn't that far of a stretch. So why not, I say. Nice to see another science enthusiast though!
