A photon has no "perspective".Yes it does. It is a particle and it interacts with the rest of the cosmos. The cosmos views it, it views the cosmos.Anyone that wishes to have the short version and skip the detailed corrections to misconceptions, they may note simply that an observer in special relativity compares their results with other observers through a lorentz transform.The photon -is- an observer. It observes the device, just as the device observes it. There is a 'c' and a 'v' in -any- Lorentz transform. Do the math with v=c. 'v' is -always- in relation to 'c' because 'c' is -always constant-.There exists no lorentz transform by which any observer may transform coordinates to a photon,Really why?It's called relativity because it assumes no absolute frame against which speeds must be referenced.Wrong. -ALL- speeds are measured against c. That -is- the whole point of Lorentz transforms. 'c' is -always- c. c is a -constant-. Therefore it -is absolute-. There is no -space- constant, to that I will agree. -- ____________________________________________________________________ We are all interested in the future for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives.
