I think time stopped and length equaling 0 ,at the speed of light, would be considered a REDUCTION of our perceived spacetime framework.
From our reference frame, speed of light means 'time stopped' but could it actually mean that whatever is at light speed is affixed to present and no longer limited by spatial variables?
From what I attempted to understand about the "Go-Splat" theory is that the photons' present, from its' reference frame at the speed of light, would be instantaneous from its' creation to demise.....So it would appear we have something that's locked in its' present, but instantaneous in its' creation and demise.
i.e., does future contain present and past, but past doesn't contain future or present?
Now I have a Headache.;=)
