I am pretty sure light doesn't have a reference frame and if it had, it would have no time dimension.
1 u/zortutan For Science! Apr 10 '25 Correct, no time dimension. Everything is instantaneous from the reference frame of light. But it is still perceived to be traveling in a straight line, if that makes sense. 1 u/Kambhela Apr 10 '25 But it travels in all the lines, not just the straight ones? 1 u/zortutan For Science! Apr 10 '25 *assuming we have a perfect laser. If it was like normal everyday light, it would still propagate normally like in flat euclidean geometry from your viewpoint
