A single photon will radiate omnidirectionally, spread out in all 3
dimensions towards infinity. At some stage it will be part of noise or
CBR constant Background Radiation.

Some photons can angle in and start to orbit a black hole for a while,
and/or eventually crash into its even horizon. Fair enough? Some photons
might orbit for a while then get ejected, not doomed... :^)

Any better?
