  1. There's a logical contradiction outside of physics: The laws of physics are the same for all "observers" Light is "not considered an inertial observer" - Light, is not, an observer. So the laws of physics are not necessarily the same for an "observer" as they are for "not considered an inertial observer". The laws of physics are only the same for all "observers"... Since light is not an observer. The laws of physics are not necessarily the same for light as they are for you. Because you're an observer. But light is "not considered an inertial observer". What are you trying to say, that current science is omniscient?
  2. I'm saying, that the laws of physics are the same for all "observers", and light is not a "valid observer", so why do you assume that the laws of physics are the same for light? Or, why do you assume that the laws of physics are the same for an observer as they are for a non observer? They can be very similar without being the same.
  3. Just because you can't talk about what happens from a Photon's perspective doesn't mean that the Photon doesn't exist and travel at the speed of light. Math is just a representation of the natural world and all you're saying is that you haven't yet figured out how to mathematically represent the Photon's point of view. Just think for a second about how much Newtonian Physics changed when it got to Mercury. Special Relativity: The laws of physics are the same for all observers in uniform motion relative to one another. We are never able to travel at the speed of light and the Photon is never able to not travel at the speed of light so the laws of physics can't be the same for a Photon as they are for "anything that isn't a Photon". If the laws of physics require that its participants have a valid frame of reference, and if light does not have a valid frame of reference, how can you use a system that requires its participants to have a valid frame of reference to understand and explain something that exists without having a valid frame of reference? Also here's a link to an article from 2012 from the Cornell University Library talking about theoretical ways to detect a Photon, can you show me something that says a Photon has been observed and measured and what it's, whatever, dimensions are? http://arxiv.org/abs/1211.4182 Here's a quote from Wiki on the Photon saying that we still haven't verified it's "mass-less" property: "The photon is currently understood to be strictly massless, but this is an experimental question." It just doesn't sound like anyone has ever seen one. Because if something's existence is "instantaneous", or if it's "T=0", it isn't just that you wouldn't be able to represent this with current math, it's that you would never experience the "space without time", in order to exist in the Photon's reality. The Photon is "under dimensional" and instead of existing in 4d "space space space time" (or 5d space, space, space, time, gravity) etc... the Photon only exists in 3d "space space space" or 4d (space, space, space, gravity) etc (the Photon exists in a reality that does not recognize the existence of time). As the observer, you would never "notice" that time stopped, because for you it didn't. You existed in your reality where time is continually ticking by and the Photon existed in its reality where there is no such thing as time, and the Photon's existence... "interrupts" our existence, but for 0 of our time. Theoretically there could be one single Photon providing all of the infinite amount of light in all of OUR existence, streaking through our reality whenever it's needed, even if it needed to be two places at the same of our time(s). Watch this Neil deGrasse Tyson video:
  4. My understanding in a nutshell is that the photon travels so fast that it moves at the relative speed of time itself. This causes the Photon to not experience the passage of time, as demonstrated by the Lorentz equation saying when Velocity is the Speed of Light, Duration or Time = 0. Using the Train analogy, the Photon and Time are each trains moving at equal speeds, so relative to the Photon, Time seems to be standing still. In the local, special relativity sense, Time is the other frame of reference moving at the Speed of Light. The Photon is created, already existing at all points of its existence simultaneously, but for no amount or passing or length of time to any "observer" except time itself. Meanwhile, since the Photon travels with time, it measures itself in length, since it does not experience change relative to Time. To observe or measure a Photon, first you would need to stop time at the exact moment when the Photon was created and destroyed, and if you were able to discern it from all other light created at that moment, and if you were able to somehow focus on it, it would appear as a solid line touching all points of its path including its origin and destination. The Photon does not have a "speed" because it does not experience the passage of time for its locations to be compared against each other from one moment to the next, its locations could only be compared from one moment to the same moment, because the Photon only gets the one moment to exist. And actually "moment" even implies the passing of time so it's more like the Photon gets 0 moment to exist, whether it travels across a room or across all of existence it only takes, literally, no time at all. The Photon is the particle of light, and is distinct from the electromagnetic wave of light, which is caused by the Photon disrupting either space from time, or time from itself. So as an analogy, the Photon is lightning and the electromagnetic wave, "light", is thunder, a direct but delayed result of the Photon's passing. Or the Photon is a boat and "light" is the wake of the boat as it passes through water. Since the Photon is instantaneous, it can't be the Photon that takes 8 observable human minutes to travel from the Sun to the Earth. 8 minutes is longer than instantaneous. Instead, the Photon travels this distance at its own unknown pace while everything else existing appears to be paused, and after the Photon is absorbed, Time continues rattling on and the electromagnetic wave follows the path of the already extinct Photon through space and time; where as the Photon only traveled "through" space, and in relationship to time, it traveled "with". And also, theoretically it isn't necessary to "accelerate a particle" to the speed of light, theoretically you could "reduce a particle's mass to 0".
