And remember that when physicists talk about an object's "perspective" this is usually just shorthand for some type of coordinate system where it is at rest, which is human-defined rather than something forced on us by nature; although sometimes it can also refer to when various light signals cross its worldline, measured by its own proper time (but the proper time is always 0 between events on a photon worldline). | |
