I think it depends on your worldview and purpose. So the correct one is one that best explains your worldview or achieves your purpose. As you said, it's how you want it. But... no... can't be arbitrary... uh I'm confused.

Why shouldn't it be possible that's arbitrary? It fits very well in my worldview. If you think it's not arbitrary, it fits very well your worldview and for you your interpretation is the correct one. Nothing to be confused about, only that if you got the latter worldview it must be hard to accept the former, while the other way around it works very well. I guess that's why you are confused and I'm not.

Also, all forms of information is stored by light energy and transmitted through light energy and there is no knowledge beyond that intrinsic to lights, right?
There are many popular science books about this right? What does it say? I've never read any -can't understand them.

I'm only pretty sure, not 100%, but I believe that at the speed of light time passes as well as anywhere else. The diffculty about all this is that it's relative (funny how the most popular phrase of physics isn't as trivial as it seems). Relative means that, for you time passes always the same rate independently of the speed you are (i.e you will always feel a second as a second), but your time might be slower or quicker THAN for somebody in an other referencial system; that's why time is relative.Time is only slow or quick in relation to another time.
