A Photon maybe a particle...but LIGHT is a WAVE, I guess a wave of these particles,....a Massless Wave, of a massless particle, I guess, as it has a constant speed in a vacuum, it takes time to cross space...there IS no "instant transmission"...GOKU does that in Dragonball Z...

That is THOUGHT. As a thought can picture itself some place instantly. But thought is a BRAINWAVE, and the brainwave is electro-magnetic, and is really subject to the same speed limits...so, just because I can think of being on the other side of the galaxy...does not mean it would be instantaneous. It takes time for even a WAVE to go somewhere. It does not instantly leave and arrive. I suppose to cross the space of your bedroom it is a split trillionth of a nanosecond...but is still time... AGE is not really a factor for the Photon or Light wave, it would seem. It is MORE just an Energy, not a particle, but sometimes acts, or is seen to act, as one.
Now...an ELECTRON has mass...and yet...travels at the same speed...
![Smile :-)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
ALL electro-magnetic radiation travels at the same speed...so...the question is, WHY can an electron with a mass, travel at the same speed of light, which supposedly has no mass?
My guess...it has to do with ENERGY...it IS energy...an Energy...I work with Emotional Charge...Emotion Energy...
I guess as an OBJECT in space...it does not age, as it does not appear to deteriorate, but still takes 100,000 EARTH years to cross the galaxy, or 2.2 million from Andromeda, or 11mly from other galaxies. As a WAVE, I wonder at how it stays the same, as it should dissipate some as it goes outward, and should "widen" as with other waves. Radio waves for example dissipate around 1.5-2 ly away from us...NO ONE is watching Lucy 60 ly out...the signal has long dissipated to the point of being unrecognizable, and blends with the background noise. You need a "tight" beam I guess, and regular radio, television, just does not do that. But Light does not seem to widen, nor dissipate as an energy wave. It is an odd thing. And yet, a projection of light WIDENS from the source, and it does get dimmer with distance...inverse square law. Yet, with sensitive enough instruments we detect light from 13.8 BILLION LY out there...AMAZING.
PLUS, they say, and show that TIME slows as you near the S.O.L...and STOPS at the speed of light...so a photon making up light, and traveling at that speed....WE observe time for it to stop....
And AS a photon takes A MILLION YEARS to leave the center of even our humble Sun...it is actually A MILLION YEARS OLDER LIGHT!!!!! 3.2my, depending on the star, in the Andromeda Galaxy.
There are so many illusions with light, it is hard to get past the apparencies, and quandaries.
AND YET...Our Esteemed Mr. Peterson, has pointed out to me....IT IS CAPTURED TONIGHT...NOW...it is NOT 2.2 million year old light...because it was captured tonight, now....It is what is happening, now.
I still say it is quite the illusion.
