i’m in a physics rabbit hole, doing too many problems and now i’m wondering, how is light moving? why?
edit: thanks for all the replies! this stuff is fascinating to learn and think about

I took up to physics 3 in college touching on relatively a bit and found it difficult to get conceptualize, but thinking about it this way blows my mind.
If we were on earth and could somehow watch a live video feed of a person on a spaceship traveling at 0.5c, would their actions appear to us to be moving at half speed?
Also, what happens when a photon moving at the speed of light impacts a surface? I know that it will either be absorbed or reflected but what is physically happening when the photon is absorbed and converted to heat
