Also, isn't your quantum angular offset answered by perspective? Time and speed depend on from where and what perspwctive it's measured from right?
Just asking.

Not quite. Photons don't experience time, but they do "experience" movement. From the perspective of a photon of light, it will move the entire distance from its origination to its final destination as "X number of light years travelled" in zero time. That instantaneous movement through space is infinite speed.
The QAO is not answered by perspective. This is much harder to summarize in a paragraph, since I have a dozen pages devoted to explaining it, but the simple notion is that in four dimensional spacetime, everything moves at a relative angle to everything else. If you measure two objects, they will have a definite perspective. From that measurement, things are absolute (according to current physics) but I contend that they are absolute subject to uncertainty, which means we can never actually measure their relative motion with certainty. This means that even infinite speed is not able to be calculated with certainty, and that uncertainty is what gives light a finite speed when measured by mass. (lol, best I could do in the space provided).
