Eli5: How does Light Travel if it Experiences no Time?

485 viewsOtherPhysics

Einstein’s Theory of Relativity states that light (as it is travelling obviously at the speed of light) is so fast that it experiences no (zero) time. Obviously light does move a distance, as thats how we see things as the light bounces off of objects into our eyes, but surely with the equation ‘distance = speed\*time’ and time being zero it implies light doesn’t travel any distance?

Time isn’t zero. Time experienced by somebody sitting on a photon would be zero (or near zero – in the actual universe light often doesn’t travel at the speed of light). But photons travels within the frame of reference of the observer where d=st operates as usual. Photons travel in time – they just don’t ‘know’ that they’re doing it.
