My first Post :)
I understand photons are are not going to age. But they still have a time in which they are created. Maybe this is known and I am just late. While learning about photons, right away I got he question if we can measure its born date.I mean everything decays right? So we should accurately be able measure the age then. Now my mental battle is this... photons are said to not age because of their speed. So then... It would come to mind, it would be impossible to verify the age... or "born date" to these things in existence. So asking these things feels odd. Its like, I should not even be asking these things. But I must.
Since I am in no position to ask anyone I know, I figure I would ask here.
Also IF anyone can provide some material to help explain how a "born date" or age is found. I would like to read up on how this is done. A google search has left me empty. But then again, I have over looked answers many times while searching. I don't know why :)
Thank you for your assistance.
