I've searched the forum incase such a question has been asked before, but I've come up empty. It seems like such a simple and obvious problem that science must have surely found an answer long ago, but I can't find that answer anywhere. Ok, in simple terms.. Relativity states that as objects move, they relatively experience a slowing of time. Upon reaching the speed of light, time relatively stops. Therefore, photons, going at the speed of light, don't experience time. A proof of this is that photons don't age. (sorry, no ref. for this) As far as I know, the above two statements are true and accepted. Here's my issue: c is usually rounded off to 300,000 km/s. If light doesn't experience time, but freely travels through our 3 tangible dimensions, then shouldn't it be able to get from point A to point B in 0 second (litterally). If light doesn't experience time, then the equation v = d / t is plagued by the fact that t = 0 If t = 0 then light travels at the speed of infinity. But it's clearly been shown that the speed of light is finite (Ole Rømer, Hippolyte Fizeau, Albert A. Michelson) Therefore, light must experience time, no matter how relatively short that time is (to us), it cannot be 0. In other words, that light takes time to travel from point A to B indicates that it must experience time, and not experience the total "halting" of time as suggested by relativety. Note: I'm not talking about something with mass, but light itself. I'm not arguing for or against anything, I'm just confused and clearly missing something important.
