On some speculations about the state reductions of photons

The spontaneous collapses of the wave functions of photons, within the framework of possible relativistic extensions of the theory of Ghirardi, Rimini, and Weber are discussed. It is shown that a recently published argument which claims that such collapses can account for the emergence of determinate outcomes of certain experiments involving fluorescent screens is inadequate, since it is based on an unreasonable speculation about the treatment ofphotons in the GRW theory.
