As opposed to consisting of photons that _can_ stand still? :-)

Some people will argue that EM standing waves are
actually standing still which implies that photons
can stand still which they cannot.

Some might infer such things, but I don't know who. You're the only one
that I know of who says things like that.

On another newsgroup, I pointed out the above
concept of EM waves just standing there is similar
to the idea that since the number of northbound
vehicles on the Golden Gate Bridge equal the number of
southbound vehicles, there is no net traffic flow and
therefore no maintenance of the bridge is required.

Certainly a far cry from the idea you tried to sell on this newsgroup
that interference patterns cause northbound vehicles to move in a
southbound direction and southbound vehicles to move in a northbound
direction.
