The First Photon

[petrushka.googol]

When did the first photon emerge in the timeline of the Universe ?

And how did all photons automatically get modulated to a velocity of 3 x 10⁸ m/s ?

It's 299792458 m/s.

In the natural units, it's normalized to 1. And the all massive particles velocities are fractions of it.

Photons came with the big bang.

Which photons are you referring to? First photons that we're capable of detecting? It's about 380000 years after the Big Bang, nowadays known as Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation.

 

I believe that photons, from the moment of their creation always move at c, they can't exist any other way.

Wow! And some people say that I like to nit-pick...
