Answer:
No
Explanation:
There Is no space gap between the photons as they travel. The light from a distance star indeed spreads out and weakens as it travels, but this just reduces the wave strength and does not introduce gaps.

The resolution, such as it is, lies in the ideas of a particle's wave function and the probabilistic nature of measurement.
Each photon can be thought of as having a wave function that is propagating outwards from the light source. As this wave function expands, its amplitude decreases, just as a classical wave would
