Hi,
If an object is traveling at the speed of light say, a photon, then gamma
is infinite. This seems to indicate that, according to the photon, length
is infinitely contracted and, according to an observer in a stationary
reference frame, time is infinitely dilated. This is very interesting.
According to the photon there is no distance in space? According to an
observer in a stationary reference frame it takes an infinite time for
light to get from point A to B?
What am I missing?
