Photons

Name: Anonymous 2008-03-31 17:53

How does a photon get around? Seeing as it travels at the speed of light, wouldn't this break down Einsteins special relativity as you're dividing by 0? What is time for a photon? 1second for a photon would be how long for us? How long would a "photonmeter" be for us?

Is it all just "OH SHI- I DIVIDED BY ZERO!"?

lrn2 SR.

1 second for photon = eternity for us
In the photon's reference frame, they exist for only an instant, and during that instant, they exist at all points of their trajectory.
