The culprit: http://books.google.com/books?id=P_...tions+time+stands+still&source=gbs_navlinks_s, p131, "particles moving at the speed of light experience no lapse of time".

I guess I'll have to add Schutz to my list of physicists I want to hit over the head, right after Brian Greene.

And I guess that I agree with Schutz and Einstein on this one - with the caveat that I gave in post #45.
