Since an observer traveling through space at the speed of light experiences no time from the beginning of their journey until they decelerate (since their 4-velocity vector has non-zero values only in the 3 dimensions of space), photons don’t just arrive precisely when they mean to, from the moment they are emitted, they have already arrived.

Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.



Rules

  1. Don’t throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
