Why did the photon lose its license?

TL;DR
The ungrateful demands of a being enlightened by the one who created our universe and commanded: "Let there be light"—then the photon was born, but it was never fully understood by those who inhabit Plato's cave.
Albert Einstein in 1905 led the constitutional overhaul of fundamental physics.

Since then, when Special Relativity (SR) was written in stone, it became established that nothing can move faster than the speed of light in the vacuum: 299.792.458 m/s.

This constituent principle is constitutionally entrenched and protected from amendment.

However, the mathematics of the theory (i.e., SR) forbids the ontological physical reality of the photon’s own referential, thus “c=0/0” ceased to care to try to meet reality.

Around this time, physicists closed their eyes to observations and elected mathematics as the ontological dictator of physical reality — statistical thermodynamics & quantum mechanics.

Physics stopped its search for causality in favor of statistical accommodations.

The photon, nevertheless, exists outside of number and letters — and, it, ultimately, obeys physical reality and God’ constitution.

For a photon, proper time Δτ = 0, proper distance ΔL = 0 and proper spacetime ds² = 0

So the photon experiences neither time nor space between emission and absorption. Emission and absorption are the same event in its own (forbidden) frame.

If proper time = 0 and proper distance = 0, then from its own perspective, the photon does not move — it must teleports.

However, for the poor little photon — massless —, it’s also forbidden to jump across galaxies in the same way the electron — which has mass — teleports across atomic orbitals.

Ironically, it would solve the “spooky action at a distance”.

To the “Bell’s chosen photon” from the quasar at 8 billion light-years, it was demanded, between emission and absorption, to be the same event from its own perspective, to leave there and arrive here in no time and completely rested, since — in theory — it wouldn’t have had to run the 8 billion light-years marathon.

The photon was ready for his Olympic long jump record when the referee came with the regulations — which, oddly, were not the fundamental laws of the universe.

It clearly stated that, somewhere foggy between the quantum and cosmological scales, the discreetness becomes continuous — an obvious human misinterpretation of reality itself.

The jump, for him, was, unfortunately, aborted.

Nonetheless, the photon was already running late and impatient.

His arguments were logically valid: “if I can’t have my own referential because c=0/0 would be a mathematical indeterminacy, if velocity is necessarily a correlation between two referential, if I have to move through space without the possibility of my time pass, so, why must I respect a speed limit? How could I arrive at no time? How can people state that I came from the past?”.

The referee said: “hey kid, it wasn’t me who made the rules — I don’t understand it, I just work here”.

The photon, in a state of panic — a direct consequence of the schizophrenia of the modern physics’ laws —, sped up far over the 299.792.458 m/s, reaching the infinite speed trying to arrive here in (no) time.

That, sadly, was not a good day for the photon, as the same referee that aborted his jump, prohibited his own referential, demanded him to arrive in no time completely rested as if the marathon didn’t exist in space, also revoked his license for speeding.

The photon has ever since refused to explain his side of the history to mainstream science.

Neither of these are correct. What is correct is that "proper time" and "proper distance" are undefined for light. Lightlike objects in relativity are a separate fundamental class of objects from timelike objects, for which proper time and proper distance are defined.

This is correct, but it does not imply the other two things you claimed.

This is not correct; there is no "perspective" for light--no inertial frame in which light is at rest.

The rest of your post is personal speculation and is off limits here.

(Ignoring the "from its own perspective" since that doesn't make sense within the theory)

This is an easy mistake to make on Lorentzian manifolds. But null separated events are not all the same event. They are different points on the manifold. You may still define null curves with valid (non degenerate, strictly increasing) affine parameter. It is just the Integral of ds is 0 along the path between the two events.

In addition, what is also overlooked is that those events are still causally ordered.
For two null-related events, one event is in the future of the other.

"The mathematics of the theory forbids it," while its ontology clamours for recognition.
The photon begs to jump in vain — his fate is always to be running late...
In its essence, it carries the key to the universe's logic, but physicists' rather romanticize the mystery.
It wants to make things straight, it no longer cares for the wave-particle theoretical nonsense — God only knows it's non-binary, it's is and it will always be... just a discreet package of spinning energy, who wishes to, someday, eventually, finally, be accepted for what it is and for what it does — an energy that jumps...

This thread will remain closed. It contains far too much anthropomorphisms and ad hominem arguments to effectively address the factual errors.
