Ok so as a photon time would not pass. So at the moment of its creation it is both at the beginning and the end of its journey. It could see its starting point and destination at the same time no matter the distance travelled. So in a sence each individual photon is bending space time and creating a wormhole between its starting point and its destination. Instantanious transport from any point in spacetime to any other point. Now if we could just figure out how to become a photon or create the enviroment of a photon around a space craft. Hmmm.

"A particle like a photon is never at rest and always moves at the speed of light; thus it is massless," says Dr. Michael S. Turner, chair of the Department of Astrophysics at the University of Chicago. "

I new that......

Photons do exert force on electrons. Not sure that means they have mass. Traveling through space photons take the path of least resistance. Gravity is the curving of space, where the shortest distance between point a and point b is not a straight line. A photon takes the shortest path.

U all hypothesize that photons are particles. Are they? Sure u can explain certain characteristics when u assume that they are but they are describable as waves too. So do waves age? ;)

nothing ages it just changes

nothing is created or destroyed it is always there in just another form

that includes us and our soul

"Let there be Light"

funny- you can believe a photo has these properties but not its Creator

One has a mathmatical backup... the other doesn't.

Wow! This stuff is the nitty gritty of reality... we may never know how things behave at that level. I read somewhere that that it is possible to shoot particles faster than the speed of light, in effect arriving at their destination before it departs. :eek:

I have to add that I don't believe we can mathmatically describe physics at that level ...  that is where God comes in I guess.

hehe, I have soul, just no rhythm. Bet those pesky photons are to blame.

If that's true then either (a) Time does not move at the speed of light or (b) Time is not an absolute limit or (c) both of the above.

Angelo was walking towards the coat room today, when he clipped one of the classroom tables with his hip. Feeling slighted, he cursed at the table and swung his leg to kick the corner he'd bumped into. He missed the table leg by inches and sent his foot smashing into the underside of the table. He screamed and bent down to grab his toes, banging his head against the topside of the table.

At this point Angelo started crying, fell on his butt, and started trying to take his shoe off. He leaned forward to untie his shoe and hit his forehead against the edge of the table. After this he just curled up into a ball. I have never seen a tard lose a fight with an inanimate object quite as badly as this.

There was an experiment a machine the used particals of some type to send a message over a small distance. The receiver used this message to turn on lights on the other end. Now I dont know all the tech on this just saw it on discovery. But they where able to make the lights turn on before the message was sent. Just by nano seconds but a messurable time. Hence they made the particals move faster than light I:E: time.

  The speed of sound was a barrier thought never to be broken it fell non the less. Over the coarse of history many many many absolute barriers have been proposed and surpassed. Given the time and the tech the speed of light will be broken too. We just dont know how to do it yet.

 Much time has been spent on the study of our brains. A organ of our body. So in a sense this organ is trying to understand itself. Since our bodys and brains are made up of matter from the universe. So in a sense the universe is trying to understand itself.
