A photon travels at the speed of light. At that speed all distances shrink to zero. Therefore from the photons point-of-view it can go to any part of the universe in an instant. Ah, no. As in, completely, 100% wrong.

"Ah, no. As in, completely, 100% wrong." In what way? Please enlighten me ... with the one photon there is.

The speed of light is 186,000 miles per second. It is finite and quantifiable. The light emanating from the sun takes approximately 8 1/2 minutes to reach the Earth, which is a distance of 93 million miles, not zero. Otherwise, my beer would be much warmer than I tend to like it.
