Nope, bunches of photons spread out per the inverse square law and many
devices produce photons in phase.

 
Idiot, particles don't split up smoothly and infinitely in all
directions and how on earth can particles have interference patterns.

No one said that, crackpot.

Since particles don't generally split, individuals don't follow the inverse
square law, only bunches do, crackpot.
