I'm late to this party, but here's a thought that scares me a bit:

1. Photons travel at the speed of light.
2. As things are accelerated toward the speed of light, distances shrink toward zero.
3. Therefore, from the photon's point of view, the Universe is located all in one spot!

So does this mean that all the light we see in the world is just one damn photon zipping all over the place (in our minds) , but in actuality (from its point of view) just fidgeting around in one place!
