Eli5: How can light not experience the passage of time if it travels at 670 million MPH – a measurement of time (and space)

674 views

If light travels at 670 million miles per hour, then that means in one hour it will travel 670 million miles. At 2 hours it will travel 1214 million miles etc. This to me sounds like a measurement of time, just on such a huge scale that we can’t comprehend it. But in the grand scheme of the cosmos this is not that crazy of a scale. I would think it’s just saying light doesn’t experience time *relative* to us. But Einstein says no- no matter what, light’s speed doesn’t change and, what, relativity just doesn’t matter? It feels like a paradox

Space contracts as you approach C so in your reference frame you observe it travelling at C over a certain distance but from the photons frame of reference it is emitted, travels zero distance and is absorbed instantaneously. Both reference frames are “true” it’s just that space and time warp to accommodate this, which is counterintuitive, but true
