Light & Time Travel: Can the Light See Us Stopped?

1.Light is moving so fast that is apparently stopped.But it ain't.Photons of light come and go.
Now the question: Is light seeing us stopped?Like we arent moving?

Thats a dumb question.Of course the light sees us stopped.If i ride a photon of light from Sun to Earth everything is stopped.8 minutes.In minute 3 she reads and in minute 7 she drinks coffee.
To continue my journey.I can zoom and see her when i ride my photon of light,my beam of light.In minute 3 i zoom and see her read but i can't see her move.Perfectly fine.
In minute 7 i zoom again and see her drink but i can't see her move.
What if i zoom and keep looking at what she is doing?If the time has stopped...how will she move from reading to drinking?

Sorry, you cannot travel at the speed of light. There is no such thing as "riding a photon." The speed of light is c in all reference frames. There is no reference frame in which a photon is at rest.
 
Hypothetical.
The same question that Einstein asked.
What will you see if you ride a beam of light?
So?It has been answered until now or not?

And one more question.Time travel.Is just a theory or a fact? (based on light speed)

Thread 'Can this experiment break Lorentz symmetry?'

1. The Big Idea: According to Einstein’s relativity, all motion is relative. You can’t tell if you’re moving at a constant velocity without looking outside. But what if there is a universal “rest frame” (like the old idea of the “ether”)? This experiment tries to find out by looking for tiny, directional differences in how objects move inside a sealed box. 2. How It Works: The Two-Stage Process Imagine a perfectly isolated spacecraft (our lab) moving through space at some unknown speed V...

Thread '1-Way Speed of Light'

Does the speed of light change in a gravitational field depending on whether the direction of travel is parallel to the field, or perpendicular to the field? And is it the same in both directions at each orientation? This question could be answered experimentally to some degree of accuracy. Experiment design: Place two identical clocks A and B on the circumference of a wheel at opposite ends of the diameter of length L. The wheel is positioned upright, i.e., perpendicular to the ground...

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. The Relativator was sold by (as printed) Atomic Laboratories, Inc. 3086 Claremont Ave, Berkeley 5, California , which seems to be a division of Cenco Instruments (Central Scientific Company)...
