speed of light

Day 7

most people understand that without air sound waves cant propagate or travel. if a tree falls in the space it cannot make a sound. Another basic tenant of physics is the closer a body gets to light speed the slower the progression of time.

Is it possible to get so close to light speed that time stops? Yes! It seems axiomatic that light travels at light speed. So what is light made of? Photons. a particle representing a quantum of light or other electromagnetic radiation.

When a photon is created, it instantly arrives at its destination with no time elapsing.

Timeless as photons,
stretching throughout eternity
is light what comes next?
