For Lightworkers -- across Time and Space

Many know that Einstein posed a revolutionary question to himself over a hundred years ago: what's it like to ride on a ray of light? Few have really considered the answer he came up with: instantaneous!

From the viewpoint of light, there is no interval of spacetime from one end of a light ray to the other. At the speed of light, time slows to zero. No time at all passes for the photon, and the instant it leaves is the same instant it arrives!

Same with space. At the speed of light, space contracts to a point of no dimension. A photon traverses no distance at all!

Relativity points out that the perception of a light ray traveling from, say, a star to, say, your eye is just that - a perception. How much spacetime appears as space and how much appears as time changes in a very specific ratio to the relative motion of the observer. Perception creates the interval of spacetime through which light moves! In the world of light, there is no space or time.

So, tonight under dark of the new moon, when you step outside and look up at the Great Galaxy in the constellation Andromeda, know that your retinas are collecting photons that have crossed 2,200,000 light years to Earth. Long before sapiens evolved, those light rays departed Andromeda, already knowing that you are here.
