Is it true that for a particle (like a photon) traveling at c, that Lorentz contraction makes its path length =Zero (i.e. it doesn't move)
And also that time dilation means that it does not age.
Therefore we end up with something that doesn't move and doesn't age??
Does it even exist?

I was under the impression that space-time became more curved the closer to a massive object you get. Is this true??
The area of constant curvature? Is that the region of space within the body itself?
And is there such thing as truly flat space-time?
Space-Time Curvature Question!
Hi Guys,
A question about the curvture of space-time by mass.
Where is the point of maximum curvature??
Is it at the centre of mass (i.e.. the middle of the body)
The reason I ask, is that when space-time curvature is shown visually it makes out like it is a...
Thanks Guys,
So when a body is accelerated through space it is still moving through space-time at the speed of light. Think I get that bit now.
Not sure I understand the concept of a bodys path in space-time changing direction.
I thought that the curved path of a body though space is a...
Hi Guys,
I am new here and this is my first post so be gentle!
I have been recently trying to increase my knowledge of relatively.
I have a few questions to ask but here is my first? Hope you guys can help me.
If a body is in a gravitational field (like everything on earth) then it...
