CONTRADICTION.
FALSE FALSE FALSE.
You said something wrong. you said something untrue. You claim false is true. You are a liar, you are ignorant, you are wrong. You said wrong. You said bad. I am right. You are wrong. Lets play ball! I can prove everything I think I know and say, right. I can prove everything that I disagree with what you say, wrong. Yay, I will always win. I am right. I know I know what I know, and I know I dont know what I dont know. I know right from wrong. I know truth from false. I know possible from impossible. I know sense from nonsense.

DO.
Like fungi, you have no grasp on geometry. What's the definition of a point?
Both of you trying to do this with English. So sad.

what geometry? Like what geometry is involved and why it is worth mentioning? I know you can answer it in plain English.

Here's what you said:
You did say that didn't you?

If i move the lighter at the same speed as i move the paper strip, my 'space ship' is going to move with the 'tick', time for it ceases to exist. No ticks). It is going with the 'tick'.
DO.
Time can't cease to exist for your space ship, it would need to have infinite energy for that to happen.

I've got to admit, I have no idea what the heck you're even trying to say anymore.
Photons are nothing like guitar strings, by the way. Terrible analogy.
Well, if they're not little yellow wooden balls, then maybe a guitar string is a nice substitute. But the question now is, gut, silk or steel, and plain or wrapped? Flat or round? It's an important question.

Wound phosphor bronze, of course.

C
The real C, or Nazi brain control C?
This is what I've been trying to say, the question doesn't make sense. Now you can ask what would happen traveling at very nearly the speed of light and that question is answerable, but the infinite energy extension of this concept like "driving a car at the speed of light" or "riding on a photon" is not something which can be physically real. Even if photon beings you hypothesize were real, if they had frozen time they would "die" as soon as they are "born" and experience nothing.
What would the world look like in the reference frame of a photon? What does a photon experience? Does space contract to two dimensions at the speed of light? Does time stop for a photon?. . . It is really not possible to make sense of such questions and any attempt to do so is bound to lead to paradoxes. There are no inertial reference frames in which the photon is at rest so it is hopeless to try to imagine what it would be like in one. Photons do not have experiences. There is no sense in saying that time stops when you go at the speed of light. This is not a failing of the theory of relativity. There are no inconsistencies revealed by these questions. They just don't make sense.

Mind you when you consider the possibility, of the photon having exited linear time . Or anything exiting linear time for that matter . Their is always the possibility that its everywhere at once. One timeless event, being decoded with a linear time concept.
