I believe that thinking about space collapsing when a photon travels is less interesting than the question of why it doesn't collapse. I think this arises because we are used to experiencing time, and so we try to make sense of light's motion in terms of experiences such as ours. But since photons don't experience anything then there is no need for these comparisons. To me, the strangest thing is that we experience time in the first place. I don't see why it should exist at all. It seems very confusing and I do not understand how we can have experiences of a flow of time.

I am no phisicist but if had to guess, I'd argue that the confinement is due to different reasons in the case of molecules and black holes. In black holes, what binds everything together is gravity, all you need is to have enough energy/mass in a given space. In the case of molecules and atomic particles, you have the Strong Nuclear Force and the Weak Nuclear Force, both of which are MUCH stronger than gravity, but also have MUCH smaller radius of effect. The Strong Nuclear Force keeps Quarqs together and the Weak keeps Electrons in their "orbits".

@fernandogajo8800

Also, electromagnetic forces are weaker than SNF and WNF but stronger than gravity, so to form molecules, you have to approach sub-particles enough for the nuclear forces to overcome the electromagnetic force that repels opposite charges.

The fact photons are spaceless and timeless kinda breaks the concepts of wavelength and frequency, at least in their frame of reference. That's what happens when you keep using classical terminology to non-classical things. Also, does a single photon travelling through a medium with a refractive index bigger than 1 makes it suddenly experience time and space, since the speed of light supposedly becomes lower? The interaction with the particles of the medium could be considered a kind of confinement then?

@i-v-l9335

The speed of light doesn't change when it moves through water. The trajectory just becomes more erratic. The wave portion of the photon increases as the particle path becomes more erratic which we see as refraction, or frequency change in the case of the non-visible spectrums.

@gabbo396

Consider that each time a photon interacts with a particle that photon is "destroyed" and an other one is "born" so there wouldn't be interactions for that photon to tick its clock. The path it's just more erratic for the light that we shine through it as a whole so for us it seems slower on average. The singles photons just get destroyed and recreated or zip through the medium at light speed, the average of those velocities is proportional of what we call refractive index

Photon is not moving in the photon reference point, it only moves in our reference point. It is unchanging, so from the photon perspective there is no time and space, but from ours' it is different.

But it is so frustrating! 😅 Having photons not experiencing time, I can deal with it. Having photons not experiencing space, I kind of get it. But the implication that it doesn't experience universe gets me confused, in the sense that if there is a wall, photon will be absorbed or reflected by it, it's not as if he doesn't interact with this universe. So in a way, without time and without space, there seems to be an experience of this universe! I first thought about this when presented with the double slit experiment actually, I was wondering if the fact that there is no space from photon perspective could explain something.

I may be wrong here but... the energy of light changing with wave amplitude is only true for "light" as a collection of photons, an emergent effect. For a single photon that would not be true because the energy would be E = hf, only proportional to frequency and the plank constant. This question gets to the heart of wave-particle duality. The classical wave model and particle models are both approximations of "reality". It can be argued that we don't really know what reality even is at the moment, but our best guess would be the "wave" model conceptualized in quantum mechanics.

@@ScienceAsylum Wow, that is amazing! Reality really is weirder than science fiction.

What is the opposite of this? How old is a black hole from it’s perspective?

@The Science Asylum - sorry perhaps my question was phrased wrong. If a photon travels at the speed of light for 2 years, from the photons perspective it is instant. No time elapsed, only 2 years to the observer. So how old would a black hole be from a black hole’s perspective?

Inside a black-hole, time becomes space. The Future is a place (that place is The Singularity)

Well, contrary to the status quo I might've become a bright person

It's an acquired skill. I'm at my upper limit though. I can't humanly go any faster.
