Abstract
A previous article shows that photons can be considered as weak shock N-waves propagating in a compressible space medium with Weinberg's specific gravity of ten to the ninetieth power. This article adds the granularity proper to a kinetic compressible medium, and shows how the transport properties of viscosity and thermal conductivity can constrain a shock N-wave to a particular length inversely proportional to the shock strength. The effect ties the thickness of the shock front to the mean free path of the ponderable particles assumed to make up the medium. The speed of sound in the medium is what we recognize as the speed of light.
