Photons are not indestructible. They can be destroyed, as they undergo 'absorption' when traveling through matter. A photon is basically, a quantum of electromagnetic energy. In the process of absorption, one or more photons can be absorbed by nuclear particles or atoms, and basically get destroyed.Nov 14, 2012
