Fixed grammar and formatting. Fixed 3D projection to 2D projection, since travelling close to the speed of light squishes objects and I assume that's what OP meant. Reworded the title.

How the world changes from the point of view of a photon

Imagine a universe without time, or more specifically without the Flow of Time. Everything will be a 2D projection and nothing more. No movement, no interaction, and in other words no Change.

But our universe is not like this. We have movement, we have interaction, and our world changes in many ways. But there is a catch. We have some 0 mass particles in our universe, which move at the speed of light e.g. photons and, according to the theory of relativity, these particles are not affected by time. So the universe is static from the point of view of a photon.

But it can't be like this. Our world is dynamic. And this kinda raises a contradiction. On the one hand, the universe is static and in another the universe is dynamic. Can anyone explain this?
