If you select a frame of reference to be moving at c with respect to another frame of reference, the Lorentz Transform will result in division by zero for the Lorentz Factor (gamma) which is not allowed and so the equation relating time between the two frames is...
DaveC426913: "By definition, one is at rest in one's own frame of reference."
ghwellsjr: "When we talk about something's frame of reference, we mean a frame of reference in which that thing is at rest. Photons are defined to be traveling at c in any frame of reference you choose. A photon...
Can we talk about consciousness in this aspect regarding light speed? I mean is it necessary that the object trying to measure the light speed is aware of itself? Is it not correct, that the moment light speed is being measured, the photon has already sped to a light year distance? So that...
Ok, so what really makes a photon not to experience the passage of time? And is it the speed of a photon that makes it free from having a FoR? And is there a meaning to saying "does not have a valid frame of reference" than just saying "does not have a frame of reference"?
So if photons don't have a frame of reference and do not experience a passage of time, what is this 'time-evolution of light in vacuum' that matphysik was referring to?
I too had the same notion as Mr. DeG about light speed being observed the same, no matter to what reference the observer belongs!
This might sound stupid, apology before hand...
This is my idea: When referring Einstein's postulate to this theory about light speed, i actually found no sites...
