  1. I would like to point out that mathematically there is room for error. Making an equation or set of equations (algorithm) work does not mean that the theory behind them is solid or sound. As previously posted science always has room for being wrong. Its the nature of the business. The math can and is often times wrong and the calculations that are used to describe black holes is a perfect example of math not working properly to describe something that we are 99.9999 % sure exists. It is perfectly logical for the same to be true on the quantum end of the scale. So I believe the answer to your original post is simple. Yes it could be wrong. The difficult question to answer would be where and how. Unless you are willing to dissect the math and point to a possible flaw having this conversation in any greater detail would be an exercise in futility. "wrong" is also a strong word to use. Incomplete may be better. Incomplete is more often times the reason for corrections and modification of accepted theory.
  2. Thanks for the feedback. It is interesting to me that a "photon" can't have an identifiable frame of reference when such a concept means that without its own frame of reference it would not be able to distinguish itself from any other object in the universe. It seems, experimentally, there has to be a separate frame of reference for the photon in order for it to display the very experiment that identified its duality in nature between wave and particle form. Not arguing any position here just expressing my observation and logic. I also realize this is not a unique question. After posting, I dug into the internet a bit and found it a rather common question with similar responses from the community. I did not however find any logical or practical conversations that address my point about relativistic separation. Happy posting
  3. Understanding that photons are considered not to have any mass, they do have velocity and as such I wonder if from the frame of reference of a photon (if a frame of reference can be identified) when it leaves its origin and arrives at its destination is it instantaneous for the photon regardless of the distance traveled? I wonder if anyone has pondered this question before? By the way, I am new here and hope this question is appropriate for this forum.
