I guess this is my last theme here with this nick and from this IP:) But I just love the answer that came to my mind (maybe it is posted somewhere here, but I could not find it).
1) Our reality:
If the thing traveling would have the brain operating the same way as our brain (or any other physical process know to us) is operating, then during a travel at the speed of light we would see him having the last thought before starting the trip halted all the time in his head. For the thought to move a bit ahead he would have to observe the chased light to move away from him a bit. So no our space could look flat to him or anything until he slowed down a bit. I.e. he would be unable to reflect about anything in our world during his travel. He will be able to tell nothing about our world as he will not be able to have a thought while crossing it.
2) Photon's reality:
At the moment he starts the travel He would see the whole our world shrink to 0 size having 0 mass and running away from him in the opposite direction of him with the speed of light. Or rather him growing as a new universe and us becoming just a photon in that universe.
If relative thinking then relative thinking till the end, so to say:)
