here's an article about photons/light not experiencing time or distance Does Light Experience Time? - Universe Today

I don't understand it really, a photon has no mind, so it's impossible for it to know what time and distance are. The speed of light is a known fact and a constant in physics but that's light in a vacuum - we don't live in a vacuum down here on Earth, light also doesn't travel at that speed in different types of matter i.e. Water

"But for light itself, which is already moving at light speedā?¦ You guessed it, the photons reach zero distance and zero time."

Einstein was such a freak, I don't even know how his mind asked the questions that led to his theories of special and general relativity. We hadn't even fired a rocket or anything into space at the time.
