Feb 18 at 0:08 comment added ElmoVanKielmo @Community I want to understand if movement through time and space can be represented uniformely using a vector with constant value but varying direction.
Feb 18 at 0:05 comment added ElmoVanKielmo @josephh that's more or less my point. The photons don't experience time. They can't because they always travel perpendicular to time.

Feb 17 at 23:33 comment added joseph h then photons travelling at light speed would effectively be frozen in time. Light/photons do not experience time. They follow what’s called “light-like” or “null” geodesics. That is, the distance it travels from one point in spacetime to another is “zero” and it has no proper time (and this is true for all massless objects). The question about light and time has been asked here many times, so you may want to try the site search tool above for detailed information.
