That's exactly why I was confused. I know they're contradictory but I didn't know why. I was unaware of Lorentz transformations and how you can't compare things with different frames of motion.
Also I can't wrap my brain around why so many laws can't be applied to light. I know all of physics...
If something is traveling at the speed of light, its time stops to a relative outsider.
But photons (basically light) are traveling at the speed of light... So does that mean that to me the photons are stationary? But if they are stationary, then they're not being reflected off an object and...
