What would it be like to ride on a beam of light? What would happen if you're on a motorcycle that's going the speed of light, that then has a headlight that's throwing light forward at the speed of light?
- cperciva 7y agoThere is no ride. From the photon's perspective, it is emitted and instantaneous absorbed at its destination.
