I know that this is an old post, but Leonard Susskind of Stanford University cites Paul Dirac's work that internally, any particle (photon or otherwise) traveling at the speed of light can not experience any change because time is 0. At 43m 48s

Thank you Ibix, That was a very helpful explanation. It had occurred to me earlier that should amount of space traveled over time not really effect photons because they can't experience it, then it should be the sheer number of electrons they have hopped to/from that determines any change in...

Hi PeterDonis and Ibix, Thanks for your responses. These questions were part of a thought-experiement in response to astrophysicist Dr. Pamela Gay's claim that photons in fact do not experience time: http://www.universetoday.com/111603/does-light-experience-time/ Apparently, there are a few...

Hi there, I have some simple questions concerning a thought experiment about photons. Set-up: There are two molecules in the universe and in between them there is empty space. A photon of light is emitted from molecule A and is absorbed by molecule B. From the perspective of the photon, does...
