That part is actually harder for me to understand. The photon experiences no passage of time, right? And yet it does move through space. Or would you say that, from the reference point of a photo, there is no movement in time or space?
Or perhaps it’s better to just say that the concept of reference points hits an asymptote at velocity c, so it simply doesn’t make sense to talk about the reference frame of a photon.
- jcims 9y agoCan photons interact? If they can, what happens when you have two photons cancelling each other out at different distances from their origin? From the photon reference frame, both were emitted and absorbed at T=0, but in our reference frames they were emitted at different times. Does that somehow link the emission time of the two given that there is a reference frame in which they are equivalent?
