No, actually, the photons did not travel over a period of time. Photons travel at C, and thus experience no time in their reference frame.
As for _our_ reference frame, I've explained in other comments but a debate has developed between those few who do understand because they've studied physics, and those who think that their intuition is more correct than Einstein. I decline to elaborate further, HN comments are not long enough to cover it all. In short: you are in fact missing something but that is fine, everybody is. Einstein himself stated that in his day maybe three people on the planet understood, and he was uncertain if he was among those three.
- andrewflnr 13d agoYou've got some nerve to come in here with self-admittedly barely-understood BS from a pop science book and pretend it's other people's fault for being uneducated when they challenge you.

- dotancohen 11d agoQuality of the information from the pop-sci book not withstanding, I've also taken physics courses on the subject. Albeit twenty years ago. But go ahead, you win the internet argument. When I thought this was a discussion, and I could potentially learn something or help somebody understand, I was happy to participate. But I have no interest in an argument consisting of insults and accusations and no exchange of information. You win, congratulations.
