If a photon fluctuates from 'nothing', what would it look like and how would it behave? Here we examine such a photon and the possible characteristics and effects it may have. If contrary to theoretical expectation, it is not short-lived, we find quantitative and qualitative similarities with the quantitative and qualitative features of the standard big bang model. As it also seems devoid of some of the horizon, homogenous, flatness, singularity and temperature problems that plague the big bang model, issues surrounding this photon's life expectancy may need to be re-visited by cosmologists.
