Light travels and yet it has no time to travel. (light can travel for billions of years and never lose time, not even a millisecond)

Don't worry ... physicists don't understand it either. If they did then physics would be dead. The absolute is that "Light has no time" And if light has no time then we cannot have time because it is just a thought like light, and distance, space, travel.

The other absolute that physics gives us is the quantum-gap. Focus on the quantum-gap and the particles become just thoughts.
Focus on the particles and physics becomes a wild-goose-chase of one impossibility creating/chasing others.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
