What I say about light in a light-cone is that current physics portrays light-cones as being the entirely of the universe upon which a photon of light can possibly interact. It also depicts light cones as 45-degree angles.

I think this is the biggest travesty in the history of physics, as it has indoctrinated generations of students into thinking of light having a large swath of "Other" or "unreal" space that can't be acted upon. It's total BS

The only reason light cones are depicted at 45-degree angels is because the units chosen for Time and Space are the same: "Light (seconds)" divided by "seconds" yields nonsense. It yields 1 unit of space per 1 unit of time always, thus a 45-degree angle.

In fact, I postulate that along the Temporal dimension, light "moves" (I call it Passes) infinitely quickly. In other words, it has no movement at all in that "direction." Thus, light cones should be properly represented at 90-degree angles.

Once that concept is understood, then we are left with a single question: Why do we not observe the speed of light to be infinite?

The answer to that is the basis of my theory. I postulate that light moves both infinitely quickly (in one respect) and at a constant speed in another respect. It is not easy to summarize how that can be so, other than to say that thinking in four dimensions, you can have a line that is perpendicular to one dimension and therefore only moves in the other three. For the perpendicular dimension, the speed would be measured to be infinite, but in the other three dimensions, you would be able to measure the speed.
