    From the perspective of the photon, this all happens more or less instantaneously. Or so I have been told. I was also told that my tongue has 5 or 6 zones where different aspects of flavor are detected and I now know that to be wrong. So maybe fuck your ice cream.

      That’s relativity. The faster a thing goes the slower time runs for them. Photons are travelling at light speed and so they don’t experience time at all
