If photons travel at light speed,time does not pass for them.If that is the case, how do we know how far any stars may be?
It is accepted that for any object approaching the speed of light, that time slows down & mass increases, to the point that it would have infinite mass at light speed, which would indicate that photons do not have mass, but why is light diverted by gravity. If time has stood still(regarding to light), there can be no way of telling how far away any celestial body may be !
