Photons, like everything else, travel along the curvature of spacetime (though a physicist has told me that they do have some mass and thus warp spacetime themselves, too), and the speed of light is just how fast spacetime can curve. The faster you go, the more curved it is, and the harder it is to bend it further, but there's a point where you can't bend it any faster than you are because it doesn't go faster.
- Lerc 3y agoI always imagined it as everything always moved at the speed of light in spacetime, like 4d motion vectors that were always the same length. Acceleration is changing the angle of the vector to move through more space and less time. Space curvature causes motion on stationary objects (gravity) because of some of the time motion becomes space motion. I kind of assume this is incorrect because it seems like a simple explanation and explanations of this stuff tend to not be simple
