So what will it see it self as?? At rest or moving a velocity c? Either way it seems to be a contradiction, so does that mean a photon can't be reference frame?
sri sharan said:Hmm, shouldn't that be an assumption in Special relativity as well, along with equivalence of all inertial frame, and the light speed one.
or
does it mean that a photon reference frame simply doesn't and cannot exist
The velocity of a photon from its own reference frame is always constant and is equal to the speed of light in a vacuum, which is approximately 299,792,458 meters per second.
The velocity of a photon is measured using the principles of Special Relativity. This involves measuring the time and distance between two events and calculating the velocity using the formula v = d/t.
No, the velocity of a photon is always constant and cannot be changed in its own reference frame. This is one of the fundamental principles of Special Relativity.
The constant velocity of a photon in its own reference frame is important in understanding the behavior and properties of light. It also plays a crucial role in various theories and equations in physics, such as the famous equation E=mc².
According to the principles of Special Relativity, the velocity of a photon from its own reference frame will always appear to be the same to an outside observer, regardless of their relative velocities. This is known as the principle of relativity.
