   - "…two photons, as seen by a single observer, differ in direction of motion, in energy and in polarisation".
   - "If we were moving with rapid acceleration toward a wireless station, its photons would appear to possess increasing amounts of energy, and would pass over the whole spectral scale through the visible and into the ultraviolet"
   - "Even so fundamental a process as the flow of heat must involve two factors, the amount of energy and the number of photons transferred"
