If you wish the crutch of illusion, the photon moves, the energy is in
its wavelength. You may analyze the photon as a wave, or as a
particle, but none of the energy is ever destroyed - short of
collision with an anti-photon. Reflection, interference,
what-have-you never presents us with opportunity to indulge in nuclear
pyrotechnics. If the sun were suddenly replaced with its equivalence
in Dark Energy, I don't think we would freeze.
