RE: [Quick-ish Facts] Light Doesn't Experience Time

in #facts6 years ago

Hi John, I've just read your post and I find it very interesting.

It reminded me of video that I found some time ago in YT, so I went back to find it and got lucky. I made a transcription for those that don't have time to watch a video.

Thank you!

Steemit is being very buggy right now, and I can't get the link to work so I'll try again in the morning.

I find all of this so fascinating, although I don't pretend to fully understand it all. I can lose vast amounts of time on wikipedia going from post-to-post.

Thanks for your comment, it really means a lot!

Thanks for your reply. The link is up. I hope you like the article.
Cheers

Thank you so much for that! That is actually a really good explanation of what a photon is, at least to a layman like myself. For me anyway, my brain tries to think of a photon as a particle, but thinking about it as a "unit" of light is probably a bit easier.

I'm like you in the sense that I'd prefer to read something than watch a video. Thanks for transcribing that pal, really clears things up for me!
