Wouldn't it be the opposite, that they do not oscillate in time at all so that they oscillate in space as rapidly as possible (since, as we know, time doesn't pass for photons)? And stationary particles don't oscillate in space, so they oscillate in time as rapidly as possible. Or are you using "oscillate" in a different sense here?
