Noob question: If you travel as fast as light, time freezes so

Sorry, my bad. Are there any readings, or google or forum searches that might help me understand this relationship better? Thanks. I'd finally gotten around to reading some texts on the evolution of stars and my interest in the properties of light is tweaking my curiosity.

I was actually wondering if there were an understanding of why light moves? I realize that this may not yet be fully understood. I suspect not, but are there any theories?
Yes, there is a groundbreaking new theory called Maxwell's equations which explains the propagation of light in terms of the behavior of electric and magnetic fields.

Light is very well understood scientifically. Current theories accurately predict all known behaviors of light.

Fair enough... lol. I don't know how to ask the question really.
