Hi
This thought has been in my head for a while and I need to resolve it.
If light travels at the speed of light in a vacuum and I am told that it does
AND
time stops when one is traveling at the speed of light, I am also advised this is true
THEN
doesn't that mean for light it is everywhere in its path at the same time.
In other words if I was riding a photonic particle, which was emitted from a torch I would both be leaving the globe and touching the wall AT THE SAME TIME (and everyplace in between).
For me in my time frame there is in fact no time. Of course from an observers frame of reference it took me x seconds to make the journey.
