Ahh, I see your quoting from other peoples work and trying to pass them off as your own ideas, how refreshing. Actually I have studied this topic and resolved it when I was 12, I asked my physics teacher what would happen, and he replied exactly what I stated before.
The light from stars reaching us has degraded hugely, except the light hasn't been bouncing off surfaces for millions of years, it has been traveling through a vacuum. Furthermore, light, red shifts from galaxies and stars far away, due to the Doppler effect, which is how scientists determined that the universe is expanding, and ultimately proves that light is weakened and reduced in wavelength over time. Light is not a particle and a wave in the crude way you suggested; Light has characteristics of waves and particles, but the jury is still out on which one it really is, although recent experiments show it to be more wave like. Also all the natural laws are not bent for light just because it travels at the speed of light, your confusing that with objects that have mass, in which some of the laws of physics breakdown when these objects approach the speed of light. just to finish off, I wasn't trying to ridicule you, but I have notice from other posts that you get very distressed when people disagree with you, (although as i mentioned earlier it wasn't your idea at all). But nice try anyway, next time bring some crayons along so you don't get bored.
Scientists trap light in nano-soup
Oh and here's a link that shows how laser light can be trapped, but this was in a magnetic field, and so does not interfere with light like matter does.
P.S observe this sentence in particular: 'in all other reports, storage time of photons is restricted to a few nanoseconds,'
