It is commonly assumed that photons are created and emitted, e.g. by the incandescent filament of a lamp and that they simply disappear when absorbed by matter. This very superficial standpoint is admitted without questioning it at all and without perceiving its deep meaning, i.e. the creation-fading process of elemental physical bodies.

It is here considered that photons are not created during their emission as it is commonly assumed. Instead photons (red ball) proceeds from vacuum quanta (black ball) through energy absorption when impinging on a hot element (incandescent filament) and inversely they reconvert into vacuum quanta through energy release (cold surface). Nothing is created and nothing is annihilated.

Any process is only an energy transfer. According to the amount and quantization of the energy transfer, vacuum quanta can mutate into any elementary particle. When any elementary particle (energy state) looses all its energy it goes back to quantum vacuum in form of a virtual quantum (aenergetic state). Charged particles must previously recombine into neutral state to return to quantum vacuum. Vacuum quanta always preserve their physical existence and constitute the body of vacuum.
