So I read the original article about this to some extent, and something just doesn't sit right with me.
If it becomes 'easier' to compress as you squash it, I assume there is some level of resistance before they attempt to squash it, right? Something measurable right? Because the more I think about this, the more I want to say "Well of course a photonic gas is easier to squish when applied pressure. It's light, it likes to spread out... and fill spaces..."
Is that just me? Cause this 'discovery' feels very much like a 2+2=5 kind of scenario. Something seems wrong. Perhaps its me, but still... can't shake this feeling.

I don't know... Just seems like something is off.
